thanks given them for -their exfellent 

 work. All the details, flower, table deco- 

 rations from the liberal donors, musical 

 program and elaborate menu, were thor- 

 oughly up-to-date. 



This limited attendance should be the 

 clinching argument in favor of a popular 

 dinner for the New York club. One of 

 the members has suggested a $2.50 din- 

 ner, at one of the popular hotels the 

 Saturday after Easter, the ladies to be 

 invited^ and a program of music and 

 speeches by prominent horticulturists of 

 Boston, Philadelphia and New York. 



Vice-president Marshall looks dignified 

 in full dress, and Treasurer Allen seems 

 * * to the manor born. ' ' These Jersey- 

 ites are throwing out their chests since 

 the tunnel has put them within ten min- 

 utes of New York. 



Messrs Esler and Du Rie, the young old 

 men of the club, from .Jersey, were ' ' feel- 

 ing their oats, ' ' as happily as any of 

 the boys. 



The young blood is coming rapidly to 

 the front in the club. There were few 

 of the old-timers on hand. Some of 

 them are sadly missed, too, and a reunion 

 that would bring them all together once 

 more would be an event worth featuring. 



Secretary Young still misses the use 

 of his broken wrist, but loyally shoulder- 

 ed his responsibility and took in the din- 

 ner -with gusto, notwithstanding his 

 handicap. 



Walter Sheridan gave no indication 



of his appendicitis experience at the call 

 to dinner and took the usual risks of 

 absorptive skill, with cheerful safety, 

 now that there can be no further opera- 

 tions. 



There was no abnormal overflow of 

 hilarity. The effervescence bubbled over 

 in song. Everybody was in good voice; 

 at times the windows rattled and the 

 rafters rung. Street cars and policemen 

 stopped and listened, and no one slept 

 in the St. Denis until Sunday morning. 



P. O'Mara was held up by a previous 

 engagement. First time he has missed 

 a club banquet and he was missed. 



If all the club members, 250 of them, 

 would take example by Mr. Guttman, 

 and bring seven guests along, the at- 

 tendance at the next banquet will be 

 1750. Why not? 



The retail florists of New York were 

 so busy Saturday night, with funeral and 

 theater work, not one of them attended 

 the banquet, but Alex. McConnell, our 

 oldest life member, sent two handsome 

 representatives. 



Take it for all in all, it was a pretty 

 good dinner and everybody but ,Tohn en- 

 joyed it immensely. 



Various Notes. 



The outing committee of the New 

 York Florists' Club has arranged for 

 the annual outing at Wetzel's grove, 

 Wednesday, July 1. The grove, the steam- 

 er and the orchestra are all engaged 



and an effort will be made to have the 

 horticultural societies with headquarters 

 at Glen Cove, Bay Shore, Red Bank, 

 Madison, Orange and Tarrytown, coop- 

 erate with the New York Florists' Club 

 io this annual festivity. There are many 

 members of the New York club in these 

 sister societies. The vice-president, W. E. 

 Marshall, is chairman of the outing com- 

 mittee; Charles Schenck, treasurer, and 

 J. A. Shaw, secretary; Joseph A. Alanda 

 and Robert Schultz, sergeants-at-arms. 

 The following have been adiled to the 

 committee: Harry Bunyard, A. .T. Rick- 

 ards, Joseph Fenrich, Harry Hoffmeyer, 

 Philip Kessler, Alex J. Guttman, Al- 

 fred Wheeler, John Donaldson, R. E. 

 Berry, Charles H. Totty. A grand suc- 

 cess is confidently anticipated. 



The March meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club will be held Monday even- 

 ing, March 9, and it promises to be of 

 special interest. The outing committee 

 will evolve its program, the banqueters 

 will tell their experiences, and a lecture 

 will be delivered by L. C. Corbett, of 

 the Department of Agriculture, Wash- 

 ington, on "The Preparation of Green- 

 hou.se Soil." In addition to all this, 

 there will be an exhibit of i)lants and cut 

 flowers and the genial Will Rickards and 

 his canteen committee will make things 

 interesting.
