NEW YORK NOTES. 



All reports from C. H. Totty con- 

 tinue favorable and his complete re- 

 covery from his recent illness and 

 operation seems now only a matter of 

 a short time. 



Guttman & Raynor have moved 

 across the street to the corner of 

 Sixth avenue and W. 28th street. It is 

 a basement store, but very spacious 

 and well adapted to the wholesale 

 flower business. 



The next meeting of the New York 

 Forists' Club will be held on Monday 

 evening, December 14. There will be 

 a big turnout of members undoubt- 

 edly, as the election of officers for the 

 coming year will be in order. Harry 

 A. Bunyard and I. S. Hendrickson are 

 the presidential candidates. 



Secretary .John Young is one of the 

 busiest men in New York these days. 

 What with the preparing of the 

 annual report and other S. A. F. bus- 

 iness, his duties in the N. Y. Florists' 

 Club and the multitudinous details in 

 preparation for the International 

 Flower Show which is now only three 

 months distant as well as the require- 

 ments of his own business .John Young 

 is certainly a very "live wire," 



Secretary Young reports regarding 



the International Fower Show to be 

 held at Grand Central Palace, New 

 York, March 17-23, 1915, that encour- 

 aging progress is being made. Many 

 applications are being received for 

 schedules, showing an increased in- 

 terest by possible exhibitors in the 

 competitive section. The sale of space 

 is also progressing satisfactorily and 

 orders for space in the official Souv- 

 enir program are being regularly re- 

 ceived. The guarantee list amounts 

 at the present time to $6,000. 



liear much of their troubles and of the 

 evident dislike the public- has for them as 

 a chiss, but nothing of ways and means 

 to rel eve their depressed animal spirit nor 

 provide them with gasoline and other neces- 

 sities. Make a start somebody. 



A LANSDOWNE HOWL. 



There are probably more florists to 

 the square toot in this nearby Phila- 

 delphia borough than in any other 

 similar community. Our readers will 

 therefore be interested in reading the 

 following amusing squib from the 

 Landsdowne News in re the late boost 

 in commuters' fares. G. C. W. 



THE NEW nOLIDAT. 



SuKgestions are now in order for tnaklng 

 Deeeinber fifteenth, a local h(>lida.v. "Rail- 

 road Day" it might be called in nienior.v 

 of former iuditt'eient or careless railroad 

 presidents wlio failed to make the most 

 of their opportunities. 



At the same time a relief committee 

 I'ould be organized to gather together the 

 loose cliange. if any. possessed by the com- 

 muter and put it in a fund for the relief 

 of the sulTering railroad stockholders. We 



THE WALKINO CLUB. 



A movement is already on foot to or- 

 ganize the ■■Anti-Railroad Walking Club 

 of Lausdowne." The organiz.ition proposes 

 to unite its meniliers into bands of twenty- 

 five's which will leave Lansduwne at con- 

 venient times and march to I'hiladelphla 

 and back each day Instead of patronizing 

 the railroad. 



Ea<h member will provide himself with 

 two nickels (saved from the carfare) to be 

 dropped into Cobb's creek as the Club 

 passes through Angora. It Is the Idea of 

 the organizers that as It becomes known 

 that there Is something In the creek In 

 addition to the odor, which, by the way, 

 does not stay in. pioneers will be gradu- 

 ally .attracted to the place and in time the 

 board of health will find this out and have 

 the dammed creek tilled up— or we should 

 say have the flllod creek dammed up. It 

 has been dammed up and down before, but 

 now It Is hoped it will be dammed up and 

 filled up so the malaria fearing public may 

 pass that way with less apprehension. 



Anybody with two nickels Is eligible to 

 membership. 



Fitchburg, Mass. Fire which swept 

 through the building at 424-44 Main
