NEW YORK CITY 



ply. Mrs. Goldbach devotes her time 

 to the store in the city and I believe 

 would sell this growing end of the 

 business it" she could get a buyer. In 

 a little potting-bench discussion it was 

 found that every one of the party 

 would be willing to sell out if they 

 could find a buyer; that is — every one 

 excepting the baby of the crowd. 

 Edward Beck, who is too new at the 

 business to realize what he is up 

 against. A little more experience 

 and he will be with the majority. 

 Siebold was next in line and here we 

 found some thirty varieties of geran- 

 iums being grown for the wholesale 

 trade and a bencli of handsome be- 

 gonia, with a few novelties tliat are 

 being kept sub rosa until further de- 

 veloped. They also have just finished 

 harvesting an immense crop of Salvia 

 Zurich seed which will be put on the 

 market with a germination test of 95 

 per cent. good. 



The next was a round table at the 

 Brunswick with President B. P. Barr, 

 Treasurer Harry K. Rohrer, Ex-Offlclo 

 Albert M. Herr, Guest of Honor Rob- 

 ert Pyle. T. J. Nolan and I). T. Con- 

 Bor who act as sort of connecting 

 links between the outside world and 

 the Club are too well known to need 

 a title. This group was joined later 

 by R. L. Mowbry, assistant treasurer 

 of the Dingee Conard Co. The rest 

 of the 23 who were on the visiting 

 trip scattered to various points of in- 

 terest until time for the regular Club 

 meeting, which started at 7.30, with 

 an attendance of some forty members 



which was augmented during the next 

 hour until seating capacity was ex- 

 hausted. The Dahlia Show committee 

 reported what they had accomplished 

 at the Fair. The visiting committee 

 reported that they had under consid- 

 eration a trip to Reading providing 

 that city had a flower show and it not 

 -Manheini would be the attraction for 

 November. 



Robert Pyle gave us a delightful 

 travel talk and after the lecture he 

 showed us some photographs made 

 during the tour and well deserved the 

 unanimous vote of thanks given him 

 tor the lecture. When we can get 

 such men as Mr. Pyle to give us a 

 talk and when he expresses his de- 

 light with the Club and its form of 

 management we begin to swell up 

 with pride — not the pride that goeth 

 before a fall for ours is an ambitious 

 pride, but if we want to be considered 

 as having any wisdom I guess I'd 

 better shut up for this time.
