 did so and the results were gratifying. The bugs were cleaned out 

 in short order, and I certainly reconimend SHO SHOT to every Klorist

New York and New Jersey Plant 



Growers. 

 A mysterious meeting of the .\'ew 

 York and New Jersey Association of 

 Plant Growers was held on the .Sth 

 inst. It was a regular meeting date 

 but the secretary had sent notices for 

 the members to meet at the office of 

 John Young, and had informed them 

 that they would be taken from there 

 to their meeting place. 



At the appointed hour a good repre- 

 sentation of the members was on hand 

 and after considerable questioning 

 they were escorted into taxicabs which 

 conveyed them through the Howery 

 and lower East Side to Little Hungary 

 on East Houston street. 



The business meeting was held in 

 the lodge room connected with the 

 premises. A considerable sum was 

 subscribed for the publicity campaign 

 of the S. A. K., and the matter of Sun- 

 day closing of establishments was con- 

 sidered but not finally acted upon. 



After the meeting a wedding gift, a 

 silver dish and basket, which had lieen 

 purchased by the members, was pre- 

 sented by William H. Siebrecht, Jr., 

 to Henry Schmidt, who had recently 

 re-married. The party then proceeded 

 tX} the basement where a hearty supper 

 (w'ith wine) was served, and returned 

 to the upper floor where they enjoyed 

 the evening festivities until midnight. 

 It is needless to say that the mys- 

 tery connected with the occasion 

 added a degree of pleasure as did the 

 surprise that was in store for the mem- 

 bers and it is predicted that the sec- 

 retary will have considerable difficulty 

 in selecting a place for the next meet- 

 ing which will afford as much fun as 

 was enjoyed at this meeting.
