000 children supplied. James McKellar 

 told us of the committee's plans for the 

 Buckeye Lake picnic July 17. This 

 affair promises to surpass the great suc- 

 cess of last year, when over 100 at- 

 tended. There will be sports and games 

 of all kinds, with prizes. At this meet- 

 ing Frank Kemp, who is with the Clover 

 Hill Greenhouses, was elected an active 

 member. The secretary of the club an- 

 nounced the winners of the point total 

 prizes, for the winter season, as fol- 

 lows: I. D. Siebert, with 123 points, 

 $5; R. A. Currie, with eighty-three 

 points, $3, and Sherman F. Stephens, 

 with sixty points, $2. Plans were per- 

 fected for a rose and strawberry show 

 on June 11. The business meeting over, 

 the hospitable Fifth Avenue Floral Co. 

 entertained the club with a fine colla- 

 tion, after which music, games with 

 prizes, and a very enjoyable social even- 

 ing quickly brought the hour to mid- 

 night. 



Various Notes. 



Mayer & Guthke, who have for the 

 last twenty-six years been the agents 

 here for Landreth's seeds, report a 

 most satisfactory season, although the 

 trade has come late. 



The firm of Graff Bros, will be 

 changed to William Graff, Samuel Graff 

 withdrawing and going to Chicago. This 

 firm certainly has a very fine business 

 here, and it is continually increasing. 



C. A. Roth has been busy lately; he 

 says that the trade of Memorial day 

 was by far the best ever done in Colum- 

 bus. White stocks at $1 a dozen were 

 a leader with him. 



The annual "posey party" was held 

 last week by the Home for Friendless 

 Children, the object being to have the 

 florists and other friends donate plants 

 and seeds enough for the grounds. As 

 usual, they received plenty for the pur- 

 pose. 



The Columbus Floral Co., although 

 only started a few weeks, has been doing 

 a very good business, especially in 

 flowering plants. The Memorial day 

 trade of the firm was twice what was 

 expected. 



George Bauman, who makes a spe- 

 cialty of supplying the trade here with 

 ferns and other green stock, reports the 

 demand and sales for Memorial day 

 larger than ever before. 



The Clover Hill Greenhouses did an 

 enormous business for Memorial day. 

 They have the transient business at 

 Green Lawn cemetery. The writer, who 

 was there on the holiday, was surprised 

 at their great business. 



John Allston, a respected colored man, 

 who for thirty years has been in the 

 employ of the Livingston Seed Co., died 

 suddenly this week. Zero.
