It was the evening before the day of 

 great, but false news, and the gathering 

 gave vent to some pent-up patriotism 

 through the singing of national songs — 

 and they certainly knew how to sing. 

 Judge John McNichol was the soloist, 

 and it was interesting enough to induce 

 many regular patrons of the restaurant 

 to remain at table much longer than 

 customary, at least the manager said so. 



The forthcoming number of the Gar- 

 den Magazine is awaited with interest 

 by the trade. It is to be devoted largely 

 to the S. A. F. national publicity cam- 

 paign. The cover carries an appropriate 

 illustration in the usual good style for 

 which the magazine is noted, and the 

 slogan, "Say It with Flowers," is 

 prominent in the design. As the mag- 

 azine is displayed on most of the news- 

 stands throughout the country, the 

 slogan will get a tremendous amount 

 of publicity. 



Harry Hoffmeier, the florist at Broad- 

 way and Eighty-sixth street, has added 

 a fruit department to his store. The 

 store is now open until midnight or 

 later. 



Louis Wise, until August last a sales- 

 man in the store of John Young & Co., 

 sailed for France last week as a mem- 

 ber of a surgical unit, to be attached 

 to one of the divisions in training there. 



Harry A. Bunyard, who is now a Y. 

 M. C. A. secretary, went overseas two 

 weeks ago. 



Charles H. Connors, of the horticul- 

 tural research and investigation de- 

 partment of the New Jersey Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station, New Bruns- 

 wick, N. J., was in the city last week. 

 He had with him some fine blooms of a

new carnation grown at the station, a 

 variety thought to be worthy of dis- 

 semination. It is a cross between 

 Princess Dagmar and Matchless, has 

 a good calyx, stem and form of flower; 

 is said to be easily propagated and has 

 all the earmarks of a good commercial 

 variety with one exception, color, which 

 is a strong purplish crimson. It is 

 thought, however, that used with white 

 carnations it would be desirable in fu- 



neral work, just as was the variety, 

 Governor Deneen, which was introduced 

 ten or more years ago, but which, unfor- 

 tunately, was so weak in the calyx that 

 it disappeared from the market. 



Brooklyn has a florist trade commit-
