at 50 cents Saturday, and quality is ex- 

 cellent. There promises to be a better 

 market for St. Valentine's day. The 

 finest orchids at times were down to 50 

 cents each but McManus says the de- 

 mand is widening steadily. 



Considerable stock of all kinds came 

 in frozen last week. We have so little 

 winter around the city, shippers grow 

 careless and run into weather that it 

 does not do to tamper with. The early 

 market some days was almost deserted. 

 Only nine growers materialized the morn- 

 ing of the big storm. No wonder Ru- 

 dolph Fischer, the f reesia man, is going 

 to California. 



Qttb Meetinc:. 



The Florists' Club's meeting Monday 

 evening, February 11, was largely at- 

 tended. President Totty occupied the 

 chair. The exhibits of carnations and 

 other flowers were extensive and beauti- 

 ful. Business engagements prevented 

 the attendance of the canteen officer, and 

 Will Kickards and Bobby Schultz filled 

 his shoes acceptably. The outing com- 

 mittee reported a grove secured for July 

 2 and all other details under way. 



Henry Hornecker, R. E. Berry, Albert 

 Weisenberger, A. Begerow, A. F. Faulk- 

 ner and Geo. E. Dickinson were elected 

 to membership and Messrs. Eccles, Ken- 

 nedy, Pause and Geraghty proposed. 

 Some suggestions in the president's ad- 

 dress were discussed, the formation of a 

 bowling club among them. The enthu- 

 siasm in behalf of a club backed by the 

 organization did not materialize. An 

 independent club to meet in the after- 

 noon is in process of arrangement, how- 

 ever, and will soon be in operation. 



The committee on closer relation with 

 the S. A. F. was instructed to report at 

 the next meeting. The resignation of 

 Edward Hitchings, now of Pasadena, 

 Cal., was accepted. The exhibits were: 



A vase of Welieome" carnations by 

 Dailledouze Bros. The committee visited 

 this firm January 17 and awarded the 

 flower 91% points. The thanks of the 

 club were given the exhibitors. 



Toreador, from H. Weber & Sons, 

 scored 87 points and received a prelimi- 

 nary certificate. Mabelle, from the same 

 firm, was not in condition for exhibition. 



Pink Imperial and Imperial, from 

 Guttman & Haines, were not in condition. 



A vase of Winsor, from F. R. Pierson 

 Co. and already certified, received the 

 thanks of the club. 



From F. Boulon & Son came fine 

 Princess of Wales violets. 



Twelve vases of sweet peas, all new

 public for the carnation. 



Messrs. O'Mara and Birnie gave in- 

 teresting addresses inspired by the ex- 

 cellent papers read at the convention, 

 and Messrs. Young, Traendly, Butter- 

 field and Shaw gave testimony to the 

 success of the Canadian convention. A 

 vote of thanks was given the Toronto 

 Florists' Club for its devotion to the 

 happiness of the New York visitors.
