num. Capsicastrum var. Cleveland, ex- 

 cepting the color of the berry. John 

 W. Jones intends to propagate from the 

 best of these. A large print, three and a 

 half inches in diameter, of the Japan- 

 ese persimmon, Diospyros Kaki var. 

 Hyakume, grown outdoors in Tennessee, 

 was shown by John W. Jones; the presi- 

 dent then became reminiscent of Aus- 

 tralian days in the early eighties, when 

 this fruit was first introduced from 

 Japan by Geo. Brunning & Son, Brigh- 

 ton road, St. Kilda, Melbourne, Vic- 

 toria. E. M. 



Retailers Besume Meetings. 



The first regular meeting of the Ee- 

 tail Florists' Association of the Pitts- 

 burgh district was held Thursday eve- 

 ning, December 4, with a get-together 

 dinner at the Seventh Avenue hotel in- 

 stead of the customary luncheon of pre- 

 war times. 



This session also marked the resump- 

 tion of the meetings which were dropped 

 during the war on account of so many 

 other interests and was characterized 

 by a more representative attendance of 

 western Pennsylvania florists than any 

 meeting before the war. Because of the 

 approaching holidays, no scheduled pro- 

 gram had been arranged, the evening 

 being devoted to general discussion and 

 plans for the coming year's work. The 

 old officers — Ira C. Harper, president; 

 Gilbert P. Weaklen, vice-president, and 

 Orville Christman, secretary — have 

 been retained in order to spur on in- 

 terest and enthusiasm. 



Various Notes. 



Louis B. West, who was seriously in- 

 jured some eighteen months ago in an 

 elevator accident in the Farmers' Bank 

 building, now is giving every evidence 

 of great improvement and is expecting 

 soon to be again at his old post of busi- 

 ness in the salesroom of the A. W. 

 Smith Co. 



The Diamond Flower Shop, adjoining 

 the Harris theater, on Diamond street, 

 which came into being about six months 

 ago, has more than justified the ex- 

 pectations of its proprietors, who have 

 recently enlarged and improved the 

 quarters in anticipation of additional 

 business during the coming year. 



Louis M. Minsky, manager of the 

 erstwhile Grand Flower Shop in the 

 corridor of the Grand Arcade, has gone 

 into another line of business. 



Mrs. Thomas J. Cavanaugh, of J. M. 

 Johnston's Braddock store, is not con- 

 valescing so rapidly as had been hoped 

 for and will probably remain in Florida 

 until spring instead of returning home 

 for the holidays as she had expected. 

 Mrs. Cavanaugh is still at Bradentown, 

 where she went in the early autumn.
