A meeting of the Lancaster Florists'

 cost of our productions, which brought 

 out a lively discussion, but not much in 

 the way of practical results. Henry

 of a trip through the West and his 

 visits to various florists, among them 



Breitmeyer's at Mt. Clemens, Mich., 

 Van Bochove Bros., at Kalamazoo, 

 Mich., E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind.,

BOSTON FLOWER EXCHANGE. 



The annual meeting and banquet of 

 the Boston Flower Exchange was held 

 at the Quincy House, Boston, on Octo- 

 ber 26. The reception was held in the 

 parlor at 6.30 with a large attendance. 

 A fine orchestra furnished music. Dur- 

 ing the banquet an invitation to unite 

 the two markets in the move to Win- 

 throp square was read and a motion 

 made and approved that the invitation 

 be sent to the Cooperative Flower Mar- 

 ket Committee then holding their 

 meeting and banquet at the American 

 House. A dividend of 10 per cent, was 

 declared which might have been much 

 larger but for the fact that funds will 

 be needed for the prospective move. 

 There was considerable argument 

 about moving as the lease of the pres- 

 ent market does not run out till June. 

 It was decided to move in the early 

 spring. The same board was elected 

 with the addition of A. S. Parker of 

 Stoneham, to replace Thomas Pegler. 

 After the election there was an inter- 

 mission during which solos by W. B. 

 Goodnow and fine chorus singing was 

 enjoyed. The affair broke up at 10.30 

 and all declaied it was a very enjoy- 

 able evening.
