NEW YORK. 



Qttb Meetine. 



The final meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club for 1905 was held on 

 Monday evening, December 11, Presi- 

 dent Traendly in the chair. Over 100 

 members were present and every seat 

 was taken. Seldom has such interest 

 and enthusiasm been displayed. It 

 was a fitting close to one of the most 

 successful years in the organization's 

 history. Resolutions of sympathy were 

 read on the death of William Ghormley. 

 Five gentlemen were elected to mem- 

 bership and six propositions were read 

 by the secretary. The resignation of 

 David Gindra was accepted with re- 

 gret. 



The committee on awards reported 

 as follows: Herman Maenner, of Mas- 

 peth, L. I., twelve cyclamen, certificate 

 of merit; Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, 

 N. J., collection of orchids, cultural 

 certificate; F. Boulon & Son, Sea Cliflf, 

 L. I., pink sport from Mrs. Thos. Law- 

 son, judgment suspended until commit- 

 tee sees it growing; Cottage Gardens, 

 Carnation Alma Ward, white seedling 

 No. 569, pink, and Robert Craig, al- 

 ready passed upon, judgment sus- 

 pended; E. L. Engreen, Aqueduct, L, 

 I., seedling carnations, judgment sus- 

 pended; F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, 

 Carnation Helen Gould and White En- 

 chantress, judgment suspended. The 

 exhibit was most interesting and cred- 

 itable and added greatly to the interest 

 of the evening. F. Lautenschlager, of 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, was 

 present with a sample pipe tongs. 



The election of oflicers for 1906 pro 

 oeeded and the contest for several of 

 the offices was close, but harmony pre- 

 vailed. Unanimous endorsement was 

 given and all ended "merry as a mar- 

 riage bell. ' ' For president John Scott 

 had practically no opposition, Mr. Totty 

 retiring in liis favor. J. H. Pepper ran 

 neck and neck with Mr. Kuehne and 

 Mr. Weathered with Mr. Wheeler, 

 Messrs. Pepper and Weathered winning 

 out. For secretary John Young had 

 his usual walk-over and Messrs. Birnie, 

 Totty and Julius Roehrs, Jr., secured 



the trusteeships with something to 

 spare. Owing to Mr. Scott's election 

 to the presidency he resigned his office 

 as trustee and a new election for the 

 position will be held at the January 

 meeting. The club was never more 

 prosperous than at present and under 

 the new regime a continuation of its 

 progress is anticipated. President 

 Traendly retires from his two years' 

 tenure of office with an enviable record. 



A committee was appointed to draw 

 up resolutions on the death of the 

 mother of C. S. Allen, one of the 

 club's members. Mr. O'Mara also read 

 a resolution on the death of John Mor- 

 ris, an ex-member of the club. 



Mr. Stewart gave an account of his 

 visit to the flower shows at Kansas 

 City and Chicago and A. J. Guttman 

 read a very interesting paper covering 

 his attendance at the exhibitions in 

 these cities and Indianapolis. He 

 dwelt upon the beauty and extent of 

 these exhibitions in comparison with 

 our own and drew many useful lessons 

 in behalf of further effort on the club's 

 part from his observations while away. 

 He especially referred to the harmony 

 everywhere existing among the craft 

 in every department of horticulture, 

 whereby such great results were made 

 possible, the co-operation of the great 

 newspapers, the lectures and all else 

 that combined to bring about a certain 

 success. A further discussion of the 

 subject was laid over for the January 

 meeting. 



The general opinion seemed to be 

 that 1905 has gone out in a blaze of 

 glory to which Mr. Nugent and his 

 turkeys and wet goods added no in- 

 considerable part. 



The new bowling club was formed to 

 meet at the Coogan building. Twenty- 

 sixth street and Sixth avenue, on Tues- 

 day evenings commencing December 26. 

 The dues are $2 monthly, payable in 

 advance, and the following names form 

 the nucleus of what should make a 

 club a credit to the city: P. O'Mara, 

 Wm. Ford, Theo. Lang, F, H. Traendly, 

 W. Mansfield, A. .1. Guttman, Lyman 

 Craw, J. A. Pepper, Jos. Manda, Jos. 

 Fenrich, B. Hoffmeyer, Phil Kessler 

 and J. A. Shaw. 



Various Notes. 



Wertheimber & Co. report a great 

 demand for their Christmas bells. They 

 expect to ship re-orders right up to 

 Christmas Eve. 



As usual for Christmas the Hinode 

 Co., at Whitestone, have had a wide 

 call for their Japanese plants and gar- 

 dens. Their azaleas and wistarias are 

 grand stock for the holidays. 



Auctions are over for the season. 

 Elliott is well pleased with the change 

 to Fulton street. 



Mr. Walker, of Cleary's, has a badly 

 injured hand, the result of a conflict 

 with a Brooklyn trolley on Saturday. 



Carl Jurgens, of Newport, was in the 

 city on Monday. 



Wm. Ford has just returned from a 

 successful four days' gunning trip and 

 his brother is now enjoying a similar 

 outing, evidently laying in a stock of 

 ozone for a strenuous Christmas. 



James Hart comes daily from his 

 country home at Madison. He is still 

 shipping goods to customers who havit 

 been on his books since he began busi- 

 ness, before some of us were born, and 

 looks good for another generation. 



Geo. Cotsonas & Co. have some won- 

 derful holly and evergreen wreaths in 

 their windows. Values run up to $50 

 a dozen! 



We hear with regret of the death of 

 Chas, Fremd, the nurseryman of Rye, 

 N. Y., at the age of 72 years. He 

 leaves two sons, who are practical nur- 

 serymen and will continue the business. 



Alfred Dimmock, of Sanders & Sons, 

 sails on Saturday for England, just in 

 time to have his Christmas turkey in 

 the bosom of his family. 



Alex. J. Guttman reports an enor- 

 mous demand for Victory cuttings, over 

 200,000 having been already sold. 



Charles Millang has again added the 

 big store above his wholesale place to 

 his Christmas conveniences and is de- 

 voting the greater part of bis conserva- 

 tories to his cut flower trade, which he 

 says will be this holiday above all other 

 years in his history. 



McManus has every preparation made 

 for any possible demand for orchids of 

 all seasonable kinds for the Christmas
