ALUMNr OF THE N. Y. FLORISTS' 

 CLUB. 



At a meeting held on Monday, 

 March 13th, the ex-presidents of the 

 New York Florists' Club effected an 

 organization to be known as the Alum- 

 ni of the New York Florists' Club, in 

 which, at present, only past presidents 

 of the club are eligible to membership. 

 There were but three absentees. Alex- 

 ander S. Bums, the oldest ex-presi- 

 dent and at the present time a mem- 

 ber of the club, was chosen president 

 and Joseph A. Manda, secretary and 

 treasurer of the new organization. 



The call for the meeting was signed 

 by "the committee," one of which was 

 Frank H. Traendly. Mr. Traendly does 

 not claim the idea originated with him, 

 but grew out of a wish expressed by 

 several ex-presidents to keep alive the 

 memories and traditions of the New 

 York Florists' Club and for social 

 recreation. It is said the idea origi- 

 nated with Patrick O'Mara. 



There were present at this meeting, 

 Alex. S. Burns. Patrick O'Mara, Albert 

 Manda, Frank H. Traendly. Chas. H. 

 Totty, John B. Nugent, Walter F. 

 Sheridan, Joseph A. Manda. Harry A. 

 Bunyard and A. L. Miller. 



The next meeting will be held prior 

 to the next regular meeting of the 

 club, the second Tuesday in April.

 lence. Hardy perennials are the lead- 

 ing feature and the lists are extensive 

 and up-to-date. This book will be sure 

 to rivet the attention of the garden 

 maker and hardy plant lover. 



Hohn & Olson, The Park Nurseries, 

 St. Paul, Minn. — This is a very hand- 

 some work, highly artistic in every 

 feature. Its title, "Creating a Land- 

 scape," is well justified in the excel- 

 lence and appropriateness of the con- 

 tents. Plants for special places and 

 purposes are fully described and cul- 

 tural notes, etc.. of direct practical 

 Sipplication add permanent value to 

 the book. It is educational in its

 of patrons within the circle of influ- 

 ence of this enterprising firm. There
