vid^d an extra room for the comfort of 

 the guests at the musical and literary 

 feast, but spread dainties tempting to 

 every palate and pre-arranged a distribu- 

 tion of the exhibits so that every one 

 of the fair sex became a walking peony 

 garden when she left the hall. Mr. 

 Nugent sang many songs in fine voice 

 and was ably assisted by the professor. 

 Dancing was also indulged in. Wallace 

 sang Scotch songs and Pepper told dia- 

 lect stories and some of the young ladies 

 did their share of the singing though 

 called on unexpectedly. The best of 

 good feeling prevailed and the whole 

 evening was voted a fine success. This 

 places another feather in the president's 

 cap and makes the road all the rougher 

 for his successor to travel. 



The exhibits were first-class and 

 Messrs. Guttman, Guttman & Weber, 

 Chas. Lenker and the Cottage Gardens 

 received the unanimous thanks of the 

 club for their displays. Peonies were 

 sent by Messrs. Ward and Lenker and 

 Victory never better by Guttman & 

 Weber. 



The transportation committee reported 

 that it will notify the members by letter 

 as to the route to the convention in 

 August. A letter from Commissioner 

 Kennedy, of the Brooklyn parks, was 

 read, announcing the rescinding of the 

 order closing the Prospect park conserva- 

 tories to the children. A letter of 

 thanks was ordered sent as the club's 

 recognition of his prompt attention to 

 president's suggestion. Messrs. 



the 



Kakuda and Fellouris were proposed for 

 membership and the resignation of J. C. 

 Gowmg was accepted. 

 The club thus closes the most success- 



ful six months of its history. In beauty 

 and extent of exhibits, average attend- 

 ance, harmony, union of interest and 

 good fellowship, its record has never 

 been equaled. The outing is expected 

 to be the consummation of a brilliant 

 season. The programs were distributed 

 at the meeting and since our last report 

 J. W. Eeimels, Charles Lenker and C. 

 W. Ward have been added to the list of 

 prize donors. The tickets are going fast 

 and President Traendly requests that 

 those who are going send to Treasurer 

 Schenck, with remittance, as soon as pos- 

 sible so that proper arrangements for 

 entertainment may he made. The com- 

 mittee anticipates an attendance of 400. 



Various Notes. 



Quite a number of growers, bulb men, 

 retailers and wholesalers have gone or 

 contemplate a European trip. Don't 

 hear of any newspaper men, however, 

 going over, except Dimmock and John 

 Birnie. Birnie slyly got away without 

 waiting for the club's send-off and god- 

 speed, to which he wad emtitled for faith- 

 ful service. He sailed last Wednesday on 

 the Oceanic for Bonnie Scotland and a 

 visit to his aged mother, jle will have 

 to take a swift boat home if he does not 

 wish to miss the outing. There is a 

 younger John at home, who is managing 

 things while he is away. 



A new wholesaler will make a bid for 

 a share in the cut flower pie. Phil Kess- 

 ler has graduated from the management 

 of the Cut Flower Exchange into a full 

 fledged mogul and he has a good list of 

 growers on his string already. He is a 

 popular fellow, generous, tireless and 

 everybody wishes him success. He will 



be located above Young & Nugent 's on 

 West Twenty-eighth street. 



A new heating company makes its bow 

 this week, the Johnston Co., with offices 

 at 1133 Broadway, the same building 

 where the Lord & Burnham Co. and the 

 Parker-Bruen Co, make city headquar- 

 ers. Mr. Johnston is a graduate from 

 the firm of Hitchings & Co. 



The bowlers last Friday were con- 

 spicuous by their absence, the secretary 

 and treasurer maintaining the semblance 

 of organization. Some fine averages were 

 made, however, and nothing under 150 

 goes. 



Charles Loechner, with Suzuki & lida, 

 is back from his European trip. 



A goodly number of the New York 

 seedsmen are planning to attend the 

 convention of the Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion at Alexandria Bay, June 20. A grand 

 time has been promised the visitors. No 

 more restful and delightful spot could 

 have been chosen. 



A firm of Greeks doing business as the 

 Olympia Florist at 52 and 101 West 

 Forty-second street have filed a petition 

 in bankruptcy, scheduling liabilities of 

 $3,012 and no assets except those covered 

 by a chattel mortgage. The debts were 

 all contracted between April 15 and 

 May 15. 



The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and 

 Sciences has received an endowment for 

 a botanical garden. 



A practical joker is reported to have 

 put a live lobster in Wm. Gilbert's 

 pocket. Gilbert started for town and 

 had plenty of room on the "L" train.
