During Recess 



The visit of a dozen members and 

 friends of the Astoria Florists' Bowl- 

 ing Club to W. H. Siebrecht's villa at 

 Chappequa, N. Y., last Sunday was re- 

 plete with sensational incidents. The 

 auto went on a strike after 33 miles 

 had been traveled and in the time 

 while waiting for another car an ex- 

 citing liall game was indulged in. A 

 gloiious dinner at the farm and an un- 

 interrupted trip home in the delightful 

 October twilight rounded out a day 

 which will doubtless furnish material 

 for many an amusing reminiscence in 

 years to come. 



A Toast. 



Given at visit of Astoria Florists' 

 Bowling Club to Wm. H. Siebrecht at 

 Chappaqua, N. Y., Oct. 17, 1909. 



[No signature appears in copy, l3ut the 

 desire expressed to live a hundred years 

 among the pies and chickens and eggs 

 seems to /asl en the authorship ou our es- 

 teemed friend, J. Austin Shaw.] 

 Here's to the Chappie of Chappaqua; 

 Here's to his loving and lovable Fran; 

 Here's to his Kiddies, 1, 2, 3, 

 All of them look pretty good to me. 

 The lietter the day the better the deed; 

 Ours for the trip on our speeding steed, 

 Oui-s for the journey that beats the Dickens, 

 Ours for the land of the pie and chickens. 

 Ours for the place where harmony stays. 

 Ours for the eggs his pullet lays. 

 Health we drink to the Sicbrechts all, 

 I'ajja and mamma and kidlets small, 

 Crandjia and babies and chauffeurs too. 

 Long may they live 1 sa.v — don't you? 

 Live on these glorious, healthful hills. 

 Where the air is pure and their beauty 



thrills: 

 Fav enough from the wicked old town 

 Where the hustle and bustle just knocks 



one ilo^'n; 

 Here, snug and cozy, near Nature's heart. 

 Far be the hour when this circle niu.st part. 

 Really to me, sir, it now appears 

 I'd like to stay here a hundred years. 

 So yt)U will if your wish comes true 

 And so we drink to the whole of you. 

 Grandpa and mamma and papa and all. 

 Long may it be ere the shadows fall. 

 May you grow younger and handsomer too — 

 If it is possible so to do, 

 .Vddin.g each day to your radiant health — 

 .\dding each hour to your growing wealth. 

 .\iid now to our lovable hostess and host 

 We drink long life, while wc drink tliis 



toast. 



The Chicago Bowling Club met 

 Thursday evening and put in the usual 

 hard work toward perfecting them- 

 selves in their team work. The totals 

 of the three games bowled are as fol- 

 lows; "Orchids" vs. "Roses" — Orchids, 

 2100; Roses, 2082. 



"Violets" vs. "Ca'-nations" — Carna- 

 tions, 1950; Violets, 1925. 



Pretty well matched, it would seem. 



{^Continued from pagt s8j) 



The market has 

 INDIANAPOLIS since last week. 



changed somewhat 

 There is a marked increase in the ship- 

 ments of cut llowers. Prices remain 

 at a reasonable level, but a good ad- 

 vance is anticipated soon. The rose 

 situation has improved considerably 

 and high grade .stock has shortened up. 

 .American Beauty and teas are fast get- 

 ting into winter form. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are coming in with a rush, white 

 predominating. Carnations are show- 

 ing signs of improvement and move 

 well at good prices. Lilies are of ex- 

 cellent quality and find a ready mar- 

 ket. Orchids are seen everywhere in 

 abundance. Sweet peas have appeared 

 but not in any quantity. The supply 

 of lily of the valley is about equal to 

 demand. The season for dahlias is 

 over around this vicinity. There is a 

 good market for all kinds of greens. 

 Southern sniilax especially being han- 

 dled in large quantities. The demand 

 for house plants has never been bet- 

 ter at this season of the year. The 

 Boston fern is more popular than ever, 

 although fancy ferns are in good de- 

 mand, also. Ficus pandurata is quite 

 popular with the buyers of more expen- 

 sive plants. Fern dish filling is quite 

 a specialty with many of the retailers. 

 While it takes a volume of this kind 

 cf business to run into money, still 

 every little bit helps. 



Week of October 

 PHILADELPHIA 11th to 16th— a 



fair volume of 

 business with probably an aggregate 

 ijicrease, but this satisfactory condition 

 was marred by the enormous influx of 

 stock of all kinds, among \*hich the 

 principal offenders were cosmos and 

 dahlias. The latter got their quietus 

 on Wednesday and the wind-up of the 

 week saw a much healthier tone. 

 American Beauty roses took a little 

 .iump on Friday, caused by a shorten- 

 ing up of shipments. Killarneys and 

 Marylauds are imjiroving very much in 

 both flower and stem, and as they run 

 now, are easily the leaders in their 

 colors. Brides and Bridesmaids are , 

 only so so. Some very choice chrysan- 

 themums are now arriving and the 

 volume of shipments continues to in- 

 crease. Among the best now are Vir- 

 ginia Poehlmann, Touset, Rosiere, Pa- 

 cific Supreme, Croesus, and Harry Bals- 

 ley. Carnations are improving in qual- 

 ity and quantity and moving off well. 

 Double violets have made their appear- 

 ance — Lady Campbell local and Marie 

 Louise from outside points. In orchids 

 there are plenty of good cattleyEis and 

 some nice spray varieties, such as van- 

 lias and oncidiums. Lily of the valley 

 very good and about enough to go 

 around. Gardenias also are good and 

 are moving off in very fair shape. 

 Greens, too, are plentiful. 



The first killing 

 WASHINGTON frost of the season 

 has left but little 

 vegetation around Washington. Busi- 

 ness is taking on its brisk fall pace 

 and there is a good demand for all 

 first-class flowers. Lily of the valley 

 is scarce and in great demand for the 

 many October brides. Carnations are 

 fine now and coming in in good quan- 

 tity.
