 Ostendarp, have arranged to entertain

 his party, when they visit Cincinnati 

 next week. 



L. H. Kyrk had some tough luck and 

 good luck last Sunday, when he was 

 wedged by pickpockets. They seized 

 his card case instead of his pocketbook, 

 for which they aimed,

The Market. 



The Lenten season so far has been 

 quite satisfactory, as business has held 

 right up to that of the weeks preceding 

 Lent. There has been just about enough 

 stock so that it has cleaned up nicely, 

 to the great satisfaction of the* whole- 

 salers. The opening of the new Penn 

 hotel has contributed largely to the

business, requiring flowers for a num- 

 ber of large banquets, besides the gen- 

 eral decorations, which are being kept 

 up, both in plants and cut flowers. The 

 retail stores seem to be quite busy and 

 are not complaining of any Lenten 

 slump. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its monthly 

 meeting March 7, with the new presi- 

 dent, Carl Becherer, in the chair. There 

 was a good attendance, with plenty of 

 enthusiasm. The subject for the even- 

 ing was "Carnations." 



Bassett & Washburn, of Chicago, sent 

 their carnation. Belle Washburn, a splen- 

 did red, just the right shade, with long, 

 strong stems and good form. It was 

 well received 



The E. a. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., 

 sent Alice Coombs, which was thought 

 to be one of the best of the light, En- 

 chantress-colored pinks shown. 



There was also an exhibit of Peach 

 Blossom, a pretty, small. Enchantress- 

 colored variety, from an eastern grower 

 whose name I did not get. 



Some of the local growers exhibited 

 splendid flowers, as well as tulip and 

 hyacinth plants. Altogether, the ex- 

 hibition was a creditable one. 



The members presented to Neil Mc- 

 Callum, the retiring president, a gold 

 medal, as a slight token of their ap-

 ing the last two years. 



There seemed to be the best of feel- 

 ing toward the new president and no 

 doubt we shall have some splendid shows 

 at future meetings, especially as the 

 president himself is an expert grower. 



One of the features of the evening 

 was a large seal of Pittsburgh, four 

 feet in diameter, made by Pasquale 

 Fabbazzi, 167 Meadow street. The de- 

 sign was splendidly executed, both as 

 to form and color. The immortelles 

 were pasted on singly, in a manner that 

 required much patient work.

 Penn hotel is a large, handsome glass 

 refrigerator, in which Bandolph A Mc-
