THE TOTTY DINNER. 



A Most Enjoyable Event Held in New 



York City. 



The subscription dinner given in 

 honor of Charles H. Totty of Madison, 

 N. J. by about thirty of his friends at 

 Mouquin's Restaurant. New York City, 

 on Saturday eveniUK. .lune 5th. was an 

 enjoyable affair from start to tinish. 

 Many will be interested to read the 

 list of friends present and quotations 

 attached, as there was a personal 

 touch which made everybody I'eel at 

 home and closely connected. 



Mr. Totty has been obliged to change 

 his sailing date somewhat on account 

 of strikes in Havre, but he will soon 

 be on his way to the other side. Mrs. 

 Totty accompanying him, and they will 

 bring back with them on their return 

 their daughter who is studying at the 

 University of Paris, having won a 

 scholarship at the institution. Mr. Tot- 

 ty will visit the high lights in horti- 

 culture in Europe, and is particularly 

 interested in the forming of tlie com- 

 pany to grow roses in Southern France 

 under glass, following in a general way 

 American methods of culture. 



While our Federal embargo does 

 work against the bringing into this 

 country of horticultural products from 



abroad, it still is possible to bring in 

 new things in a limited way, and 

 while Mr. Totty is looking over all 

 the new things, we may be sure there 

 will be some results accrue from his 

 trip which will be interesting to the 

 growers on this side at a later date.
