educated by the time Sunday arrives to 

 the fact that McKinley day is here. 

 Every wholesaler has a handsome card 

 announcement of the memorial. If 

 Brother Altick could walk through the 

 New York streets today he would have 

 ample evidence that his enthusiasm has 

 borne fruit. Saturday should be a great 

 day for carnation growers in the big 

 city and everywhere through the land. 

 That it will be, is sure by the flood of 

 advance orders already received by the 

 wholesalers. 



Among the retailers there are universal 

 indications of satisfaction with the pres- 

 ent condition of trade. Everybody is 

 busy. Dinners, parties, balls and wed- 

 dings are abundant. The automobile 

 show drew society in thousands. The 

 wearing of flowers was excessive. Great 

 events close at hand are the Old Guard's 

 ball, the Arion and the Emerald, all of 

 which many thousands will attend. Unique 

 floral decorations will characterize all 

 these events. Hanft Bros, will, of course, 

 handle the Arion decorations, as they 

 have done for a generation. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the club, Febru- 

 ary 13, will . be a record breaker. A 

 prominent camationist will read a paper. 

 There will be a grand display of all the 

 new carnations. The ladies will attend 

 in large numbers and the house commit- 

 tee will give them a royal welcome. It 

 will be Scotch night, with the assistance 

 of John Birnie's young ladies and much 

 other talent. 



F. R. Pierson was in the city Satur- 

 day and completed arrangements with 

 Guttman & Weber for the control of 

 the new red carnation, Victory. The 

 daily papers will now have more to say 

 of "frenzied floriculture" and I have 

 no doubt will give "Millionaire" Pier- 

 son credit for having paid $25,000 at 

 least for his latest capture. 



The outing committee of the New 

 York Club held its first meeting on Sat- 

 urday, elected officers and perfected ar- 

 rangements for the summer festival. 

 Messrs. Traendly, Bimie, Elliott, 

 Schenck, Schmutz, Langjahr and Shaw 

 were present. 



The Hoboken Bowling Club has reor- 

 ganized with a membership of sixteen 

 and the new officers are: Dietz, presi- 

 dent; Grundmann, secretary, and Stein- 

 hoflf, treasurer, with John Bimie mas- 

 ter of ceremonies. 



George Saltford has the la grippe and 

 Charles Millang has had a severe attack. 

 Wm. Ford has been fighting his old 

 enemy, lumbago. J. K. Allen had a hard 

 tussle with the demon. In fact it would 

 be easier to make a list of those who 

 have escaped. 



Pneumonia caused the death of the 

 father of Jos. J. Levy on Friday. His 

 friendjB in the wholesale trade extend 

 their sympathy. 



Mrs. Derby, of Bedford avenue, Brook- 

 lyn, whose husband once worked for 

 James Mallon, mourns the loss of her 

 son, who died last week. 



Mrs. Richard F. Jenkins, wife of the 

 florist at 664 Eighth avenue, died last 

 week of consumption, handsome designs of 

 flowers being sent to the funeral by the 

 wholesalers, Traendly & Schenck, Ford 

 Bros, and John J. Perkins. 



Fenrich is handling large quantities 

 of forsythia and some 36-inch Brides 

 and Maids that are eye openers. 



John J. Perkins is decorating and re- 

 modeling his store on West Thirtieth 

 street, so that it looks very attractive. 



Elliott & Sons are preparing for an 

 early season. No wonder, for half the 

 last week was springlike and mild enough 

 for gardening. These are the days "be- 

 tween hay and grass" but the revival 

 is close at hand. The bulb houses all 

 seem to be satisfied with the success of 

 their "commercial travelers," as Will- 

 iam Scott now calls them,, reporting a 

 flood of orders as the result of their can- 

 vass. 



President Traendly was prevented by 

 illness from attending the Chicago con- 

 vention, much to his regret. The attend- 

 ance from the east was a scattered one, 

 no special route being chosen. 



W. H. Johnson, who has had charge of 

 the greenhouses at Sing Sing prison for 

 some time, and a brother of the warden, 

 died of paralysis on Friday, aged 54. 

 He was born in Greenwich, Conn., and 

 was supervisor of Rye for some years. 



A wife, son and two daughters survive 

 him. 



Bowlins;. 



January 18 the return match between 

 Flatbush and New York was rolled, nine 

 members of each team participating. 

 New York won with a majority of 405 

 pins in the two games, so that with 

 the exception of the little accident at 

 Madison, the New Yorkers still have an 

 unbeaten record. On January 27 they 

 will wipe out this little blot on their 

 escutcheon. From present indications 

 New York will send as strong a team to 

 Washington as has ever represented this 

 city at a convention. Flatbush treated 

 her guests, as usual, with lavish hospital- 

 ity. The score follows:

FROSTS IN FRANCE. 



Cables frorii Paris have reported in 

 the past month unusual frosts in south- 

 ern France and in the Riviera. Great 

 hardship has been brought upon the 

 flower growers in this usually favored 

 region and their loss will run into a 

 vast sum of money, being particularly 

 heavy in the San Remo district. Govern- 

 ment aid has been necessary in some 

 sections. 



Philadelphia, Pa. — The Board of Ap- 

 praisers has held that ruscns leaves should 

 not be assessed as manufactures of palm 

 but as ornamental leaves.
