 order. 



Various Notes. 



Next year we are to have a flower 

 show worthy of New York, whether it 

 will be the New Jfork Club or the 

 American Institute that fathers it. De- 

 pend upon it, the triumphs of the west 

 in this line, at Kansas City and Chicago, 

 have not passed unheeded. Take warn- 

 ing now of the good intentions of the 

 east, even if the path to the proverbial 

 Hades may be paved with them. 



P. O'Mara will give a lecture on 

 "Sports" before the Horticultural So- 

 ciety of New York at the American 

 Institute Wednesday afternoon, Decem- 

 ber 12. 



Dean & Co. have a fine range of 

 houses at Little Silver, N. J., all modern 

 and 350 feet in length, covering a total 

 of 50,000 square feet and all devoted to 

 Bride and Maid roses, sometimes send- 

 ing to the New York market 10,000 in a 

 day. The entire output is handled by 

 Traendly & Schenck. The stock is in 

 splendid^^ondition. The firm has been 

 established nine years. Mr. Dean is a 

 brother-in-law of Frank McMahon, of 

 Seabright, N. J. 



It is about time for the annual turkey 

 contest of the Flatbush Bowling Club, 

 an event of no small moment with this 

 perpetual brotherhood. Every Thursday 



evening the lover of good-cheer and 

 healthful exercise finds here a cordial 

 Welcome. 



Next Monday night, December 10, the 

 New York Florists' Club will bid fare- 

 well to 1906. It has been a prosperous 

 year with this strenuous organization. 

 •Many new members have been added and 

 great interest in the monthly exhibitions 

 and discussions displayed, the November 

 meeting being the banner night of all. 

 So keen is the interest in the election of 

 new officers for 1907 that it is hardly 

 necessary to suggest a crowd for Mon- 

 day. 



Visitors last Saturday were E. J. Fan- 

 court, of the Pennock-Meehan Co., and 

 John Westcott, president-elect of the 

 S. A. F., of Philadelphia. 



The wholesale employees have a neat 

 announcement card in all the stores. The 

 second annual ball takes place on Satur- 

 day, January 5, at the Manhattan Ca- 

 sino. The Twenty-second Regiment band 

 has been secured. A big crowd is as- 

 sured. The officers are Nick C. Schreiner, 

 president; Charles Matthews, vice-presi- 

 dent; John Foley, treasurer; John Egen- 

 brod, financial secretary; Arthur Wiese, 

 recording secretary. Last year the boys 

 proved their ability to carry through the 

 project most successfully. They will do 

 it again. 



New York vs. Madison. 



It was a reminder of old times — that 

 bowling match last Saturday evening be- 



tween the stalwart master gardeners of 

 the rose city and the vigorous seedsmen 

 of New York. It was the return match, 

 for these nervy Madisons scalped the 

 New Yorkers on their first meeting, and 

 after sleeping for two weeks on their 

 home alleys they came to the big city 

 with proud stride and the fire of victory 

 in their eyes. But the fires burned out 

 and the stride changed to weariness be- 

 fore the night was over. It was a sad 

 and solemn march to the station and 

 bedraggled feathers on the head-piecea 

 of the fallen braves. The rubber will 

 be played at Madison. ' 



New York has some fine players. Al 

 Rickards, Protin and Chadwick all made 

 fine averages, so did Keating and Duck- 

 ham for the visitors. Good-fellowship 

 was rampant, and Bobby Schultz, the 

 irrepressible, was in his element. The 

 "mule team" made melody and Totty 

 and his companions had some glowing 

 stories to tell of the mines and moun- 

 tains of Colorado. A fine lunch was 

 served. The score follows:
