NOTES. 



Exhibitor! in the trade display sec- 

 tion were generally well pleased with 

 the business done. Fred Lantenschla- 

 ger, who represented Kroeschell Bros., 

 said that they found it to be one of 

 the best conventions for business m 

 every particular that they had ever 

 participated 1b. 



W. J. Kennedy worked like a 

 beaver in the management of the 

 sporting events and proved himself a 

 most indispensable factor in bringing 

 this important feature of Friday's en- 

 tertainment to so successful a conclu 

 slon. The boys presented him with a 

 handsome stick pin which was richly 

 deserved. 



There was plenty of entertainment 

 going on continuously which did not 

 appear on the regular programme and 

 many instructive trips as well to 

 places of trade interest. R. & J. Far- 

 quhar & Co. entertained a big dele- 

 gation of gardeners at their Dedham 

 nursenes on Wednesday afternoon. 

 On Thursday afternoon large parties 

 were lavishly received at Thomas 

 Roland's establishment and at Mon- 

 trose Greenhouses. 



Penn the Florist devoted his space 

 in the trade exhibition to a demonstra- 

 tion of the Talue of newspaper adver- 

 tising in the florist trade. The walls 

 of his booth were hung with framed 

 clippings of large advertisements that 

 he has had from time to time in the 

 various Boston dailies. It was an 

 unique and very impressive lesson in 

 practical business enterprise and Mr. 

 Penn's rapid advancement to a posi- 

 tion in the foremost rank of success- 

 ful florists is the best sort of evidence 

 that he has adopted a winning policy. 

 His booth had many interested visi- 

 tors.

Denny (stranger to Boston) : "Gee. 

 but I'm tired! D'ye know, I walked all 

 the way from the Metropolitan wharf

Sophisticated Friend: "Why, that's 

 nothing! That isn't far." 



Denny: "It was; the way I came."

 many curves?" 



Suave Native: "That, my dear sir, 

 shows the innate artistic instinct of 

 the true Yankee. The curve is the line 

 of beauty, and is rich in the element 

 of surprise." 



McXab (rather surprised at the free- 

 dom with which McCJregor was order- 

 ing things up to the room over the tel- 

 ephone) : "Why Mac, what makes you 

 so liberal today. You are usually more 

 thrifty." 



McGregor (susceptible to petti- 

 coats) : "Mac," said he, "the delightful 

 way that lassie at the end ot the line 

 talks to me, makes it a real pleasure 

 to order them up."
