 Also to thank them for the many courtesies shown 

 us in the year of 1918, which is at its close.

will regret to hear that he is ill at his 

 home in Patchogue, L. I. His absence 

 from the December meeting of the New 

 York Florists' Club was generally re- 

 marked upon as an indication that all 

 was not well with him. 



Many members of the New York Flo- 

 rists ' Club and their families were 

 guests at a tea given by the National 

 League for Woman's Service, at its 

 headquarters at 257 Madison avenue. 

 Invitations were sent to every member 

 of the club, and the tea was given as 

 a token of appreciation of the club's 

 cooperation with the league in its work 

 of flower distribution at the military 

 hospitals. 



Arthur Herrington, of Madison, N. 

 J., was in town last week and read to 

 his friends a letter he had just received 

 from Alfred Dimock, of London, Eng- 

 land, who was well known here a few 

 years ago as the representative of 

 Sander & Sons, the orchid specialists, 

 of St. Albans, England. The letter was 

 interesting as containing news, which 

 no longer could be censored, of the air 

 raids in and around London. Mr. Di- 

 mock 's oflSce windows were shattered 

 in one of the raids and during another 

 he was compelled to rush to safety. 

 Twice, he said, Covent Garden market, 

 the home of the London wholesale flo- 

 rists, was bombed, great damage result- 

 ing. Mr. Dimock- looks after the Lon- 

 don interests of the Yokohama Nursery 

 Co., Ltd. 



Harry A. Bunyard, who is now a Y. 

 M. C. A. secretary, was in Paris in the 

 early part of this month, after a short 

 stay in London. He was then expect- 

 ing to go to Bordeaux. 



A. L. Young & Co., the wholesale and 

 retail florists, at 54 West Twenty-eighth 

 street, have added fruit to their stock 

 and displayed in their window an as- 

 sortment of fancy boxes of fruit for 

 the holiday trade. 



Meyer Otile, of Biedel & Meyer, 49 

 West Twenty-eighth street, is able now 

 to get around, but, on his physician's 

 advice, he is relinquishing the cares of 

 business for a time. 



A merry party trooped into Secretary 

 John Young's office December 17 and 

 presented him with a huge cake, on 

 which were arranged fifty candles, em-
