The Weekly Rorists' Review* 



93J 



The Well-Built Establishment of Louis Otto, at Neenah, Wis. 



ones, are in demand. There is no dimi- 

 nution in the flood of hydrangeas and 

 gladioli. The general tone is improving. 

 Sales on Saturday were above the aver- 

 age in quantity, and with the rapid re- 

 turn of the flower buyers from their sum- 

 mer homes comes the inevitable demand 

 that will again start the retail and 

 wholesale wheels in motion. 



Qub Night. 



The club meeting Monday night drew 

 a fair house, notwithstanding the storm. 

 The exhibits were large and excellent. A 

 certificate of merit was awarded the F. 

 R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, for a grand 

 display of thirteen varieties of phlox, 

 fifteen varieties of dahlias, four varieties 

 of helianthuB and eight varieties of 

 hardy asters. 



H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia, Sent a fine 

 exhibit of helianthus, phlox, hybrid del- 

 phiniums and liatris, for which a certifi- 

 cate of merit was awarded. 



Bobbink & Atkins showed twenty-five 

 varieties of phlox, four varieties of 

 helianthus, three varieties of boltonia, one 

 sedum, two lobelias, three varieties rud- 

 beckia, two varieties helenium and three 

 varieties of hardy asters, for which they 

 received honorable mention. H. Beau- 

 lieu exhibited six varieties of dahlias. 



Messrs. Kakuda and Fellouris were 

 elected members of the club. Clarence 

 Saltford's resignation was accepted and 

 ^fe88rs. E. V. Hallock, C. Wayne Ward, 

 ^y. H. Donohoe, F. Boulon, Jr., and Wil- 

 liam N. Eeed were proposed for member- 

 ship. 



The members who visited the capital 

 city were called upon for their expe- 

 riences and criticisms. A vote of thanks 

 to the Washington club for the magnif- 

 icent hospitality of its members was 

 unanimously given. 



"Bobby" Sehultz, of Madison, gave 

 a very humorous account of his expe- 

 riences with the Nugent punch and Wash- 

 ington water, closing with some classic 

 poetry of his own composition. A. H. 

 Langjahr referred feelingly to his ex- 

 periences in hotels, woods and other 

 places. Mr. Weathered said it was the 

 most delightful convention he had ever 

 enjoyed and that the thirst for educa- 

 tion displayed by the younger members 

 was phenomenal. J. B. Nugent told how 

 he was so successful in catering. A. J. 



Guttman and C. H. Totty declared it was 

 the best time they ever had in their lives, 

 to which Mr. Manda added his endorse- 

 ment. The newspaper men each had 

 something to say and the question box 

 and Mr. BeauUeu occupied the attention 

 for the balance of a very enjoyable even- 

 ing. 



The next meeting will be canna and 

 chrysanthemum night and with good 

 weather there shoiild be an attendance 

 worthy of the membership. The bowling 

 club will then commence operations.

F. H. Traendly has recovered from his 

 hay fever, and Mrs. Traendly has passed 

 the danger point in her illness. 



A Vanderbilt decoration, most unique 

 and extensive, at Newport, last week,

 add to their reputation and bank ac- 

 count. 



Fred Zahn is again in business at 2082 

 Seventh avenue and doing well, having 

 fully recovered his health.

Byron S. Blake, of Rochester, is visit- 

 ing his son in Brooklyn. He is the in- 

 ventor of Blake's lever clip for rose

 nearly half a million of this very useful 

 little convenience. 



Geo. H. Blake and family, of Bonnet 

 & Blake, the wholesale florists of Brook- 

 lyn, has just returned from his summer 

 outing at Milford, N. J. Christian Bon- 

 net, of this firm, has the sympathy of all 

 in the loss of his mother, who died at his 

 home a few weeks ago at the age of 78 

 years. Bonnet & Blake have been re- 

 ceiving lately some grand aster stock 

 from Rochester and are making extensive 

 preparations for the coming season's 

 business and adding to their shippers 

 rapidly. 



Mr. Keller, of Reed & Keller, is ex-

minds him of Christmas and that the 

 firm is working night and day to fill 

 orders.

 and with his wife is spending his honey- 

 moon at Washington. 



N. Lecakes and John Foley are back

 exhibit of plants in and around their new 

 front, which is quite in keeping with its 

 neighbors.

 air of his old home at Poughkeepsie.

 say last week. J. Austin Shaw.
