its meeting, with President W. W. Coles

 was received and concurred in, and the 

 committee was discharged with thanks. 

 A letter was read from E. T. Barnes, 

 asking the association to visit his place 

 early in October to view the dahlias. 

 Thia change was agreed to and the trip 

 will be made in October instead of Sep- 

 tember, as had been at first arranged. 

 A resolution was introduced, proposing 

 that a petition be sent to the S. A. F. 

 asking that body to adopt some scheme 

 whereby anyone who joins a local or- 

 ganization may thereby also become a 

 member of the national society. This 

 resolution was made the special order of 

 business of the August meeting. By 

 this time it was train time for many of 

 the members and the meeting was 

 brought to a close, everyone feeling 

 that the day marked a big step forward 

 in the affairs of the association. The

 thinks there is any way of 

 selling goods in the trade 

 more effective than adver-

 it's the most inexpensive way 

 in proportion to results. ,

OBITUAST. 



Peter MoreL 



Peter Morel, of the firm of Alorel 

 Bros., Scranton, Pa., died of pulmonary 

 trouble early in the morning of July 14 

 He had been ill for only a few days and 

 his friends were greatly shocked by the 

 unexpected news of his death. He was 

 the junior member of the firm and had 

 been more active than his brother 

 Louis, for the last few years in the 

 managing of the selling end of the busi 

 ness; hence he had a wide acquaintance, 

 especially among the florists of the 

 Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys, and 

 will be greatly missed in the trade. It 

 is believed that his characteristic en 

 ergy, which persisted almost till the 

 end, was one of the causes that 

 hastened his death. Contrary to the 

 physician's advice, he arose on Satur 

 day morning, July 12, and left his room 

 but was soon compelled to return to 

 bed, as his lungs could not endure the 

 rapid heart action which the exertiot 

 occasioned. The strain of the increased 

 heart action quickly brought on inflam 

 mation of the lungs, which took him 

 away Monday morning at 2 o'clock. 



Mr. Morel was of a genial disposition 

 and was an assiduous worker, spendinj; 

 many hours of each day in his business, 

 With his brother, he built up a large 

 vegetable and flower trade, adding t« 

 their greenhouses until the range cov 

 ered an extensive area. He is survived 

 by his wife, his brother, Louis, and 

 three sisters. 



Joseph Clarke.

 dener, Joseph Clarke, occurred at West

 them rare and diflBcult of culture, couW 

 be seen growing there with a rtckles-'

 plants and they seemed to appiecia'' 

 his kindly attentions. ,
