Visitors. 



One of the first of the F. T. D. visi- 

 tors on the market this week was J. G. 

 Gammage, secretary and treasurer of J. 

 Gammage & Sons, London, Ont. He 

 has been busy buying supplies for the 

 fall and winter trade. 



The little child of Ed Kalisch, of 

 Kalisch Bros. Floral Co., St. Louis, Mo.,

ers' Club was held October 3, at the 

 greenhouses of Butler & ITllman, at 

 Northampton. There was an excellent 

 attendance of members and the meet- 

 ing was interesting throughout. Pros- 

 pects are bright for the fourth annual 

 show, which is to be held in the North- 

 ampton city hall, November 1 and 2. 

 The Henry F. Michell Co., of Philadel- 

 phia, offered one of its bronze medals 

 for competition, and it was voted to 

 award this for the best plant group. 



Instead of reading and discussing a 

 paper, each member brought a question. 

 These queries naturally covered a wide 

 field, but as a sign of the times it was 

 interesting to note that several had to 

 do with the increasing cost of doing 

 business. 



Butler & Ullman exhibited vases of 

 Ophelia and Russell roses of excellent 

 quality, and H. E. Downer showed flow- 

 ering plants of the water hyacinth, 

 Eichhornia crassipes. H. E. D.
