held by the members of the organiza- 

 tion. Mr. Duckham was greatly sur- 

 prised, and for a few moments was so 

 touched that he could not collect him- 

 self. He then thanked the organiza- 

 tion for their beautiful gift. 



Uncle Dan Voorhees, who is known 

 as a Republican leader in the county, 

 and claims that he has never made 

 a speech in his life, spoke for a few 

 moments to the memoers. He said 

 that he was now sixty-five years old 

 and this was the second florist ban- 

 quet that he had attended, and that 

 from now on he would attend the next 

 twenty-five. He was followed by Ar- 

 thur T. Boddington, Mayor W. G. 

 Badgley of Chatham and Hon. George 

 W. Downs. 



New York Club Dinner. 



It is rumored that the New York 

 Florists' Club will give another "Din- 

 Dan" or dinner dance at the Biltmore, 

 on Saturday night, March 17th; which 

 is the first Saturday of the Flower 

 Show — also St. Patrick's Day. 



In addition to a dinner of rare good- 

 ness, witli the happysome accompani- 

 ment of dancing, there will be a mys- 

 tery. Chairman A. I. Miller says that 

 it's going to be "A Big Joy Bubble," 

 which will be burst in the centre of 

 the room at exactly 12 of the clock." 

 Further than that, Abe is dumb as an 

 oyster. The committee urge an early 

 reservation of tables. Tickets for 

 lady or gentleman, will be $5 each.

TOMATO SEED FOR YOUR 1917 CROP 



You will get an enormous crop of Tomatoes from Bolgiano's Tomato Seeds this year. 

 Our Seed was saved from one of the largest crops we have ever had, due to being favored 

 by weather conditions. The vines were loaded with Large, Solid, Red Fruit. We know 

 positively by planting Seed from this "Big Crop" your yield will be much larger than If 

 you had houffht seed grown where the weather conditions were not favorable.
