dred. Some shipments of fine pe- 

 onies were received last Week. Those 

 in cold storage are about gone and 

 peonies soon will be out of the market. 

 Loads of feverfew and sweet williams 

 were carted to the river, there being 

 no demand for them. Outdoor sweet 

 peas flooded the market and the whole- 

 sale houses were crowded with daisies, 

 coreopsis, calendulas, gypsophilas, irises 

 and delphiniums. Eetail stores are do- 

 ing little business. 



Club Meeting. 



The special meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, held July 9, drew an attendance 

 of nearly 100. President Stumpp was 

 in the chair. 



Considerable discussion followed the 

 reading of the minutes of the last meet- 

 ing, participated in by F. R. Pierson, 

 W. A. Manda, Arthur Herrington, 

 Henry Weston and others. A motion 

 to reconsider the action with regard to 

 convention entertainment, proposed by 

 W. A. Manda, was defeated. A good 

 deal o-f independent entertainment ap- 

 parently is planned. Reports indicate a 

 large attendance at the convention. 



A. L. Miller announced considerable 

 space in the Grand Central Palace still 

 available for trade exhibits and Secre- 

 tary Young reported 10,000 square feet 

 sold in the Convention Garden and 40,- 

 000 square feet remaining. He sug- 

 gested an excellent opportunity for the 

 retail florists to make artistic plant- 

 ings. W. A. Manda referred to his in- 

 terview with Dr. Britton, who expressed 

 disappointment at the small space al- 

 lotted by the committee and gave a 

 promise of yearly opportunity for ex- 

 hibitors desiring space in Bronx park 

 for individual planting. 



W. M. Hunt and Harry Goldberg were 

 proposed for membership.

 Ladies' Auxiliary, and Seward Prosper, 

 of the Red Cross Society, the latter 

 thanking the club for its gift of $1,000. 

 A letter was read from F. R. Newbold, 

 with reference to the devastation in 

 France, suggesting America's help in 

 restoration. Max Schling suggested 

 that as soon as the opportunity comes 

 the response will be wide and generous. 



Secretary Young reported that reso- 

 lutions of sympathy had been sent W. 

 H. Maynard and family, in the loss of 

 his daughter, and resolutions were or- 

 dered for G. W. Hillman. 



Letters of resignation were read from 

 F. A. Bolles and Ed. A. Manda. 



It was ordered that membership with-
