Joll.N VuLM. 



We have often marvelled at tlie tre- 

 mendous amount of detail work which 

 John Young, as secretary of the S. A. 

 F. and of tlie N. Y. Florists' Club, man- 

 ager of National Flower Show and. 

 lastly, wholesale florist, manages to 

 accomplish. Next to a man's own 

 (lualifications and energy under such 

 circumstances, comes a faithful lieu- 

 tenant. That. Mr. Young has had in 

 George Hildenbrand and it is a recog- 

 nition fully merited and wisely be- 

 stowed when Mr. Young takes his 

 well-tried employee into partnership, 

 as announced in his advertisement in 

 this paper. Mr. Hildenbrand has a 

 record of twenty years in the whole- 

 sale flipwi-i- tr:H|. |ir;Hlii;ilI\ :tll nf tli;il 



NEW YORK NOTES. 



B. H. Farr will be the lecturer at 

 the next Florists' Club meeting, Juno 

 14. Peonies, of course. 



Chas, H. Totty has returned from 

 California enthusiastic about liorticul- 

 ture in tliat State and the hospitality 

 01' the California florists. He says it 

 will be a big mistake if any florist lets 

 the opportunity slip by of seeing this 

 wonderful State, and what it is doing. 

 It has been a great treat to him and a 

 revelation in many ways. 



Loyalty to the Brooklyn baseball 

 team and the dramatic circumstances 

 that surrounded Zach Wheat's home 

 run drive over the fence in the ninth 

 inning of last Tuesday's game, proved 

 fatal for Chauncey Martin, a florist of 

 Brooklyn. He dropped dead of heart 

 failure while cheering the prowess of 

 the Robin's left fielder. 



We were satisfied with the results 

 from the HORTICULTURE ad, and 

 may be able to give you some further 

 business in the future. 



Sincerely yours.
