Florists' Qtd) Meeting. 



The May meeting of the club was held 

 Monday evening, about forty being pres- 

 ent. It was bedding plant night, under 

 the management of John Bimie and the 

 exhibit he succeeded in getting together 

 was large and creditable. The award 

 committee awarded certificates of merit 

 for culture for their exhibits to the 

 following: S. A. Steinhoff; Chas. 

 Hunt, Port Kichmond, N. Y.; Herman 

 Mende, Ceacaucus, N. J.; Pesenecker &

side; F. Dressel, Weehawken. Honorable 

 mention was given to the following: 

 Geo. Fick, West Hoboken; Aug. Kreis- 

 inger, Jersey City; Chas. Heinz, West 

 HoboKen; Mr. Tonicassia, Brooklyn. 



Guttman & Weber exhibited a vase 

 of Carnation Victory, chairman O'Mara 

 made a very appropriate address before 

 reading the awards. He characterized 

 the exhibits as the "stuff" for every- 

 day service in the New York market 

 and well worthy of the cultural awards 

 bestowed. 



The printing of certificates of award 

 was ordered and the change in the by- 

 laws and the increase in the salary of 

 the secretary were unanimously adopted. 



J. B. Nugent "made good" with an 

 elegant spread of chicken casserole and 

 other delicacies that his own personal 

 larder supplied and that everybody 

 warmly appreciated. His appointment 

 on the transportation committae was 

 an appropriate recognition of his serv- 

 ices. Messrs. Sheridan and O 'Mara were 

 named as the other members of the 

 committee. 



The question box was opened about 

 10 p. m. "What are the essential quali- 

 fications of a judge of plants and 

 flowers?" was the first consideration 

 and Messrs. O 'Mara and Scott of Tarry- 



.town humorously and learnedly discussed 

 it. "Are street merchants detrimental 

 to the interests of the wholesaler and 

 retailer!" was opened by A. H. Lang- 

 jahr, who referred to the street fakir 

 as a necessity. Mr. Darsley spoke of 

 the times when 20,000 plants were of 

 more value than 50,000 now, stating 

 that the plant trade is absolutely in the 

 hands of the street peddlers. John Don- 

 aldson agreed with Mr. Darsley. Mr. 

 Marshall spoke of the increasing de- 

 mand for window boxes as a result of 

 the street merchants' aggressive cam- 

 paigns. Messrs. Wallace and Wheeler 

 gave humorous accounts of the street 

 bulb salesmen. Mr. Darsley denounced 

 the sales of roses by department stores 

 as injurious to legitimate trade, while 

 Mr. Wheeler thought the evil rights it- 

 self in its eye opening influence. 



The question as to the most valuable 

 plant introduced in the memory of the 

 members met 'with an assortment of 

 opinions that left the matter still un- 

 decided. Mr. O'Mara put in a claim 

 for Ampelopsis Veitchii; Mr. Darsley, 

 the double geranium; Mr. Lenker, the 

 Crimson Rambler rose ; and Mr. Scott, of 

 Tarrytown, the American Beauty rose. 

 Mr. Bimie said ninety per cent of all 

 plants brought to the market were ger-
