NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The monthly meeting ot this club 

 on Monday evening, 13th inst., was a 

 rousing good one with 7C members 

 present. There were addresses and 

 committee reports galore, all of which 

 drew out abundant orator>'. One par- 

 ticularly wise innovation was the ap- 

 pointment of a committee to supply 

 honest icformation to the Associated 

 Press to help correct the misleading 

 reports on matters of horticultural in- 

 terest which so often find their way 

 into the daily papers. Alex Wallace 

 and C. H. Totty were given this duty. 

 Resolutions of thanks were passed to 

 the Agricultural Department at Wash- 

 ington and a committee to prepare 

 resolutions of condolence on the death 

 of the daughter of James Dean was 

 appointed. Outing committee and 

 transportation committee both report- 

 ed satisfactory progress. News from 

 the sporting contingent was inspirit- 

 ing. It was announced that Thum's 

 Alleys. Broadway and 31st street. 

 would be the scene of the practice 

 games every Friday night hence- 

 forth. A Ladies' Night has been 

 decided upon and the date Bxed as 

 Wednesday, May 27. Special attrac- 

 tions will be provided and the entire 

 evening will be given up to festivities. 

 S. A. P. President Traendly made a 

 fine address on the duty of the mem- 

 bers to the National Society and the 

 importance of the work mapped out 

 for this year by the S. A. F. executive 

 board at its recent meeting in Niagara 

 Falls. W. A. Manda also made an in- 

 teresting talk on the approaching cen- 

 tennial at Ghent. Belgium, and the 

 great exhibition which would signal- 



ize that event. Timely remarks were 

 also made by Secretary Young and 

 Robert Simpson. 



The exhibition comprised Roses 

 Newport Fciiry from Julius Roehrs 

 Co., Apple Blossom from A. Schultheis. 

 Cherokee from W. A. Manda, Rich- 

 mond from R. M. Schultz, Mrs. Jar- 

 dine from Robt Scott & Son, My Mary-
