three to prepare sketches for such a badge 

 to be submitted to the club for its adop- 

 tion. The chairman appointed W. N. 

 Budd, J. C. Vaughan and L. CoatErworth. 

 The next meeting will be September 22 

 when nominations for officers will come 

 up. The election occurs October 27. 



A New Firm, 



During the week A. L. Vaughan and 

 Fred Sperry have concluded arrange- 

 ments for opening a general wholesale 

 cut flower and florists' supply business 

 in the Exchange, 58 and 60 Wabash ave- 

 nue. They plan to carry as full a line of 

 cut flowers as may be had and to put in 

 a stock of florists' supplies which they 

 hope to develop to one of the largest and 

 most complete in the country. They also 

 expect to do considerable business in 

 bulbs. The firm name will be Vaughan & 

 Sperry. Neither gentleman is a stranger 

 to the trade, Mr. Vaughan having trav- 

 eled with supplies and bulbs for more 

 than sixteen years. He was a member of 

 the old firm of Vaughan, McKellar & 

 Winterson. Mr. Sperry was with Mr. 

 McKellar years ago but has been in Flor- 

 ida recently for his health, which is now 

 of the best. 



Various Notes. 



D. F. Simonds was eating a sandwich 

 in a refreshment establishment at Ogden 

 avenue and Congress street September 7, 

 when four masked men held up the place. 

 Mr. Simonds, who does business as the 

 Ogden Floral Co., 848 West Harrison, 

 lost $32 and a watch. 



Sam Pieser is out after an illness of 

 six weeks, during which he underwent a 

 very successful operation for appendicitis 

 at Wesley hospital. Mrs. G. H. Pieser 

 is at the same institution, convalescing 

 from a three weeks' illness with typhoid. 

 E. E. Pieser is expected home in a few- 

 days from Manitoba, where he has been 

 six weeks, daring which time he buried 

 Mrs. Pieser 's father, who was well along 

 in the eighties. 



Bassett & Washburn received 12,000 

 Japanese longiflorum bulbs on Tuesday. 

 These were shipped direct from Japan by 

 Henry & Lee. 



C. W. McKellar is handling Dendro- 

 brium formosum. Few cattleyas are 

 available. 



C. M. Dickinson is home from Mt, 

 Clemens and attending to business once 



more, after seven weeks' illness. He is 

 feeling nearly as well as ever. 



Miss Nellie C. Moore has returned to 

 her place at the Exchange after a few 

 weeks' vacation. 



Albert Fuchs shipped Bome big sago 

 palms to the St. Louis exposition yester- 

 day. They are the same plants he ex- 

 hibited at the Buffalo and Chicago expo- 

 sitions. 



A. L. Bandall Co. gets Clematis pani- 

 culata, which would be thought to be a 

 good seller, but it isn't, not even at a 

 quarter a bunch. 



Peter Eeinberg is a member of the al- 

 dermanic committee to arrange for the 

 Chicago Day celebration at the St. Louis 

 exposition October 8, the anniversary of 

 the great fire. 



O. J. Friedman has a good-sized and 

 well equipped store at Thirty-fifth street 

 and Michigan avenue. He is now build- 

 ing a small conservatory in the rear. 



Lubliner & Trinz, who have the store 

 on Randolph street above Kennicott's, 

 have opened another store on Jackson 

 boulevard near Dearborn street. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The market is beginning to "sit up 

 and take notice." The last of the week 

 found a thorough cleaning up of ice 

 boxes and supplies at some price, which 

 is looked upon as a godsend after the 

 weeks of over-abundance. In the ex- 

 perience of the wholesale trade no such 

 summer has ever been experienced. At 

 times the wholesalers have been practi- 

 cally helpless, but the merchants and the 

 market have wonderful recuperative 

 powers and in a month the long night- 

 mare will be forgotten. 



The Jewish holiday was the cleansing 

 event of last week. With the opening of 

 the schools, the frosty air, the coming 

 again of the sidevmlk merchants, and the 

 theatre openings and the advent of vio- 

 lets and chrysanthemums, the fall activ- 

 ity will begin. Both wholesalers and re- 

 tailers are ready for a strenuous season. 



The Jewish holidays will continue until 

 next Monday. Nearly a milKon Jews 

 call New York City their home. They 

 use many flowers but there will be 

 enough to go around. In fact, there are 

 enough asters and gladioli here to keep 

 the million happy daily. 



It is too early for violets, though a 

 few have arrived, occasionally good in 

 quality, but generally small, colorless and 

 undesirable. There is a time for every- 

 thing, but it isn't time for violets nor 

 mums. "Every dog has his day" and 

 so has every variety of flower. The 

 dahlia will rule king from now until 

 frost dethrones it. G-rand quality and 

 variety characterizes moat of the ship- 

 ments reaching the New York market. 



The orchid demand increases and out- 

 side cities are developing a metropolitan 

 appreciation. A large shipment of grand 

 Cattleya gigas was made to a prominent 

 Buffalo house on Thursday. The demand 

 for water lilies has vanished. Fine va- 

 rieties for a long time realizing $5 per 

 100 could not be moved on Saturday. 



Club Meeting. 



The first meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club for the season was held 

 Monday evening, about fifty members 

 being present and a most eothusiaBtic 

 session enjoyed, while the exhibit of flow- 

 ers was one of rare extent and excellence. 

 President Traendly was in the chair. 



The outing committee reported a bal- 

 ance on the right side of the ledger. Mr. 

 Sheridan read the resolutions on the 

 death of Frank Traendly, Jr., only son 

 of the president, to which Mr. Traendly 

 feelingly responded. Treasurer Weath- 

 ered read his report, showing a balance 

 of over $1,200. Henry Beimels, of Wood- 

 haven, was elected a member. The nomi- 

 nating committee appointed by the presi- 

 dent is Messrs. Burns, Sheridan, O 'Mara, 

 Hafner, Nugent, Miller and Bunyard. 

 The committee of awards, through Chair- 

 man O'Mara, spoke in eloquent terms of 

 the splendid exhibition of the evening, 

 expressing the gratitude of the club an.l 

 appreciation of the enterprise of F. E. 

 Pierson Co., H. A. Dreer, Clucas & Bod- 

 dington Co., A. L. Miller, Pankok & 

 Schumacher and H. Beaulieu. 



The F. B. Pierson Co. had a very large 

 exhibit of phloxes, cannas and dahlias, a 

 whole flower show in itself. A. L. Miller 

 showed dahlias Grandview, Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria and Camaeliflora. H. 

 A. Dreer showed twenty-two varieties of 

 hardy perennials. Clucas & Boddington 

 Oo. showed ninety varieties of daUias, 

 also phloxes and other hardy flowers. H. 

 Befeulieu staged about fifty varieties of 

 dahlias. Pankok So Schumacher showed
