New Zealand. 



An unheralded feature of the No- 

 vember club meeting was the address 

 of Charles Henry Fox. Mr. Fox has im- 

 proved his pillow basket since the To- 

 ronto meeting by adding a lid of wire 

 netting. Aided by this lid, Mr. Fox 

 was able to turn the pillow basket up- 

 side down without dropping a single 

 flower on the carpet. Then he told an 

 F. T. D. story. Here it is: "A cus- 

 tomer was in the habit of ordering flow- 

 ers sent by wire to a lady who was 

 traveling. A few days before St. Val- 

 entine's day he came in with the re- 

 mark, 'Fox, I have you stumped this 

 time. I want some flowers sent to my 

 friend. She is in New Zealand.' It 

 was a liberal order, $25 worth. I sparred 

 for time to find ways and means. At 

 3 o'clock that day I accepted the order. 

 A couple of months later my customer 

 dropped in to know what I had sent. 

 He said his friend had been deluged 

 with flowers. Spoke of a. yoke and a 

 couple of baskets. Probably tlie order 

 was filled with the ai<l of a sickle in the 

 field." 



Vaiious Notes. 



The record sale of the week, 125 

 chrysanthemums at $1 each, was made 

 by Martin J. Gannon. The flowers, 

 grown for exhibition, were white and 

 yellow Turner and a bronze. The sale 

 j)roves Mr. Gannon an able salesman, be- 

 cause he located a grade of stock that 

 is rare just when his customer wanted 

 it and obtained fair value for it. 



Recent visitors include T. P. Pritch- 

 ard, of Bedford Springs, Conn., and 

 Joseph Harris, of Sharon, Pa. 



Raymond C. Mayhew, president of the 

 Florex Gardens, of North Wales, Pa., 

 and Frank E. Miller, lately with J. H. 

 Small & Sons, of Washington, D. C,
