Mr. Totty and another as a press com- 

 mittee to give reliable information to the 

 Associated Press. Messrs. Totty, Mar- 

 shall, Traendly and Lenker failed to de- 

 tect any injury to the trade from such 

 advertisements and the committee after- 

 wards reported that it had been decided 

 unwise to approach the daily press on the 

 subject. 



To compete for the Traendly transpor- 

 tation prizes, it was decided that no one 

 is eligible for the honor who is not a 

 member of the S. A. F. Mr. Traendly 

 made an interesting address on his visit 

 to Niagara with the executive committee. 

 He told of the fine rooms at the Interna- 

 tional hotel there, where meetings,, exhib- 

 its and existence could all be enjoyed 

 under one roof. He spoke of the national 

 flower show, the great work of the com- 

 mittee of fifty and the cooperation of 

 European exhibitors in making it the 

 grandest flower show the world has ever 

 seen. 



Robert Simpson, president of the Rose 

 Society, spoke of the many strong fea- 

 tures of the rose show in Chicago. Of 

 weak features of the show, he said, there 



were too many roses of three varieties 

 and too few Brides, Maids and the old 

 favorites. Too much sameness, he de- 

 clared, and for a successful exhibition 

 more than one variety of flower is 

 needed and the show would have been 

 improved a hundred per cent thereby. 

 W. A. Manda had the same complaint of 

 sameness to make in his < address, there 

 being no relief to the monotony. He 

 commended heartily the enthusiastic 

 preparation being made by the Chicago 

 people for the great exhibition in No- 

 vember. 



John Young told of his trip to the 

 Falls and Chicago, and of ex-Mayor Cut- 

 ler's courtesy to the executive committee 

 of the S. A. F. 



Altogether this was one of the best 

 meetings the club has ever enjoyed. 



Variotii Notes. 



A beautiful exhibition of flowering 

 plants was on parade last week at the 

 big glass area of the Julius Roehrs Co., 

 at Rutherford. Just because distribu- 

 tion had not begun, about everything 

 was sold and tagged and ready for this 



strenuous week. The most striking lots 

 were the azaleas, the lilies, the ramblers, 

 including the now famous Newport Fairy, 

 the hawthorns, the snowballs and lilacs 

 and, of course, the orchids. There is a 

 forest of bay trees. Harry Gould is now 

 traveling for this company. 



Bobbink & Atkins have now 150 acres 

 of nursery and 150 employees. "Impos- 

 sible to keep pace with the orders," Mr. 

 Atkins tells me, and everything there in- 

 dicates it. 



Peter Crowe had the time of his life 

 here last week, with the growers and auc- 

 tions and theaters and bowling. There 

 was not anything he missed on his an 

 nual visit. 



Hiratn T. Jones, of Elizabeth, has ap- 

 pmnted Myer, of Madison avenue, his 

 New York representative. Myer has a 

 big store on Fifty-ninth street for his 

 Easter overflow. 



Another wholessiler has come to town. 

 Last Tuesday at 9 p. m, Joseph J. Levy, 

 Jr., arrived. 



It is interesting to note the space de- 

 voted now in all the large daily news- 

 papers to Easter and its floral art, and
