Various Notes. 



President Scott's dinner to the 

 club's officials, retiring officers and 

 trustees on Saturday evening at the 

 Vendome was a delightful affair and 

 the ideas advanced by all in behalf of 

 a continuance of the club 's prosperity 

 cannot but bear abundant fruit. The 

 menu was the best the house affords 

 and the evening a most harmonious 

 and interesting one throughout. 



A course of free lectures, and popu- 

 lar ones, on agriculture and horticul- 

 ture begins on Wednesday of this week 

 at the American Institute in the Berke- 

 ley Lyceum. It will be continued dur- 

 ing the winter on the second and fourth 

 Wednesdays of each month. The first 

 lecture, on "The Soil," will be given 

 by George T. Powell, president of the 

 Agricultural Experts' Association. 



Notwithstanding the remarkable 

 mildness of the weather, la grippe, that 

 arch enemy of the florist, has been 

 abroad and has laid unholy hands on 



some of the elect. George Saltford 

 was one of its victims last week, and 

 John Birnie, against whom the bleak 

 winds of auld Scotia blew in vain, had 

 to lower his colors to the foe on Satur- 

 day. 



On Monday the earth was clad in its 

 first white garment of the year. Just 

 enough of ' ' the beautiful ' ' fell to re- 

 mind us we are not out of the woods 

 yet and that spring, like the prodigal 

 son, is still "afar off." 



The next event of general import- 

 ance in the east is the carnation con- 

 vention in Boston. Everybody seems 

 to be planning for the trip, not the 

 carnation experts only, and we have a 

 few of them, but the wholesalers and 

 the growers from all around us. It 

 looks as though President Fisher's esti- 

 mate of "the greatest ever" will come 

 true, 



Arthur Merritt has located in the 

 old Hammond headquarters on West 

 Thirtieth street, close to the pioneers. 

 Hart and Perkins, and his gilded 



leucothoe wreaths make an attractive 

 window. Mr. Merritt 's patent on these 

 simple, durable, beautiful wreaths is 

 secured. They will outlast the immor- 

 telles, are useful in all kinds of floral 

 designs and a large demand for them 

 has developed from out of town, while 

 all the bon-ton stores use them here in 

 their decorations. 



In our references to Mr. Coyle last 

 week we omitted to mention a seven 

 years' engagement with Charles Mil- 

 lang, the originator of the wholesale 

 plant convenience in this city. 



Charles Totty, of Madison, the Rich- 

 mond king in the east, was in the city 

 Saturday. His wholesaler, Mr. Fen- 

 rich, was a victim of la grippe several 

 days last week and was still under the 

 doctor's care on Sunday. These are 

 strenuous days for the men worn out 

 by the holiday rush and behind hand on 

 sleep and rest. One needs a large re- 

 serve reservoir to maintain the pace- 

 of this rapid village.
