DURING RECESS. 

 Washington vs. Baltimore. 

 The bowling team of the Florists' 

 Club of Washington entertained a simi- 

 lar body representing the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of Baltimore at sup- 

 per on Wednesday of last week and 

 thereafter treated them to a severe 

 defeat when the two teams clashed 

 on the alleys of the Rathskellar for a 

 three-string series. The Baltimore ag- 

 gregation consisted of Messrs. Boone, 

 Perry, Moss, Bauer and Klotzer, who 

 came over early in the day to take in 

 the chrysanthemum show held last 

 week by the Agricultural Department. 

 Their opponents were Messrs. Cooke, 

 Shaffer, Dalglish, Ernest and McLen- 

 nan. 



and dance at Buch Temple, Chicago 

 avenue and Clark street, on Dec. 4th, 

 from eight till twelve o'clock. Tickets 

 50 cents each. Allie Zech, chairman 

 of the sports committee, has the mat- 

 ter in charge and hints that there is 

 a surprise in store for the ladies.

 ment at the Hotel Sherman, free to

 ation, Chicago, will give a reception 



NEW YORK NOTES. 



A letter from Julius Roehrs, Sr., 

 who is in Trinidad, states that he is 

 feeling fine, but that the weather is 

 uncomfortably hot there. 



George Ditzenberg of the Woodcliffe 

 Floral Co., N. J., is dangerously ill in 

 the hospital at Hackensack, suffering 

 from a serious malady. 



Charles Thorley has closed up his 

 branch store on West 28th street but 

 has taken a store in West 29th street 

 which he will use for receiving de- 

 partment, stock room, etc. 



Peter Henderson & Co. are making 

 elaborate preparations for their large 

 exhibit at the National Flower Show 

 and will have a display that will 

 cause a sensation. 



August Jurgens, the well-known 

 florist of Chicago, was in New York 

 last week as a witness in the case of 

 the Federal Government against sev- 

 eral forwarding agents of Chicago, 

 charged with receiving rebates from 

 the B. & O. R. R. on shipments of 

 imported merchandise. It will inter- 

 est some of our western readers who 

 were fleeced by these custom house 

 brokers to know that they pleaded 

 guilty and were sentenced to one 

 day's imprisonment and fines from 

 $1,000 to $2,000. 



Very few florists in large cities have 



the facilities and advantages that Geo. 

 M. Stumpp enjoys in the possession of 

 over an acre of ground with green- 

 houses and frames, on East 67th street. 

 Here are raised much of the plant 

 stock, ferns, young palms, etc., for the 

 demands of his large store at Fifth 

 avenue and 58th street. The palm 

 houses are at present filled with prime 

 decorative stock, including specimen 

 palms of large size and superb quality. 

 An interesting and very pretty little 

 novelty for this season is some stand- 

 ard thymus in 3-inch pots in exact 

 miniature of standard bay trees. These 

 little gems which are about ten or 

 twelve inches high, Mr. Stumpp saya 

 were grown from cuttings made last 

 spring. They have been selling at ?3 

 apiece!
