dating the two organizations. All fur- 

 ther business was adjourned to the 

 next meeting. 



There were no exhibits at this meet- 

 ing, but Chairman Michael Fink, of the 

 good of the club committee, is making 

 arrangements for exhibits for the next 

 meeting. 



Various Notes. 



The wife of W. F. Martin, 609 East 

 Fortieth street, who has been ill for 

 several weeks, is sinking rapidly and 

 the attending physicians hold out no 

 hope of recovery. Two weeks ago Mrs. 

 Martin was taken to the Wesley Me- 

 morial hospital, but the surgeons re- 

 fused to operate, as they believed it 

 useless. She is now at home. 



John Zech says he finds no reason 

 to complain of business, Zech & Mann's 

 sales running ahead of a year ago, with 

 St, Valentine's day and Mardi Gras 

 both having provided a number of good 

 advance orders for the next few days. 



Bassett & Washburn are not so en- 

 thusiastic over Mrs. Bussell rose as is 

 the case with most of the growers 

 who have tried it. They question its 

 value as a midwinter variety. Never- 

 theless 10,000 or 12,000 will be planted 

 next spring, with the idea of cutting 

 while the cutting is good and then 

 letting the houses stand cold until 

 spring. 



Don 't be in a hurry to cash checks 

 for a tall, blond man of good appear- 

 ance who rides in a fashionable auto- 

 mobile. His method is to pose as a 

 member of the entertainment commit- 

 tee of a well known business men 's as- 

 sociation. He asks the florists for an 

 estimate on the cost of flowers for a 

 banquet. He represents that he must 

 secure the approval of the rest of the 

 committee on this estimate. Later he 

 returns, says the figures are satisfac- 

 tory, and offers to make a deposit. He 

 finds he has nothing but a check. The 

 victim is supposed to hand over the 

 change. This is a crude game and yet 

 David Hammer, 2014 West Division 

 street, lost $20 on it not long ago. 



White roses are not grown for this 

 market in anything like the numbers 

 of pink, but P. C. Schupp and Wm. 

 Homberg are well pleased with the 

 Double White Killarney growing at the 

 J. A. Budlong establishment. The 

 stock came from the Rhode Island Bud- 

 longs, where it originated. Mr. Schupp 

 says he thinks it the best white forcing 

 rose in America today. It will be 

 planted in considerable quantity for 

 next season.
