The Wertheimer Bros, baseball team 

 defeated the strong team of' Smith & 

 Kaufman June 6, at Bronx field, by the 

 score of 9 to 7. The game was very ex- 

 citing and undecided until the last man 

 •was put out. The features were the 

 heavy hitting of Cloughley and M. Cohen 

 and the fine work behind the bat of 

 Hano. The victors have issued a chal- 

 lenge to any team in the silk trade and 

 are prepared to meet all comers. 



Plant Growers* Outing. 



The New York and New Jersey Asso- 

 ciation of Plant Growers held an im- 

 portant meeting at the Hotel St. Denis, 

 Broadway and Eleventh street, New York 

 city, June 2, at which a large gather- 

 ing was present. 



The committee which was appointed 

 at the last meeting to arrange for an out- 

 ing of the association, and which con- 

 sisted of A. L. Miller, Herman C. Stein- 

 hoflf, Herman Schoelzel and John Scott, 

 made its report. The association will 

 give its outing June 25, at Terra Ma- 

 rine Inn, Huguenot Park, Staten Island, 

 and tfie members will meet at the Staten 

 Island ferry, foot of Whitehall street. 

 New York city, at 10:30 a. m. on that 

 day and then proceed by boat, train and 

 automobile to the place of the outing. 



The committee has made full arrange- 

 ments for plenty to eat and drink, music, 

 dancing, games, races, bowling and other 

 sports and pastimes, and it is evident 

 that the association intends to have a 

 day's fun. In order to evade the per- 

 sonal tax on its capital, which has rap- 

 idly increased since its incorporation, 

 the association has decided to furnish 

 each of its members with tickets to its 

 outing gratis. It is expected that all 

 members, with their families and friends, 

 will attend and thoroughly enjoy them- 

 selves. W. H. SiEBEECHT, Jr., Sec'y.

Choice Stock 



■■■'•• '■ ■ ■ ' '^■'■' ■ 

 for the June Wedding work apd School Closing^s. Whatever you want, 



we can supply it. The following are some of our leading specialties : 



SWEET PEAS 



Fancy stock in the fancy colors. Enchantress- Pink and Lavender. 

 Also Blanche Ferry pink, blue and red. You will say these peas 

 are all right. 



PEONIES 



We can supply these in white and pink — in any quantity. This is 

 stock from the Famous Peterson Peony Farm, the finest collection 

 of peonies in the United States. The best sorts and plenty of 

 them. Prices right. 



BEAUTIES 



We have a range of Beauties grown specially for a cut in June and 

 later. These have much better substance, color, stem and foliage than 

 from plants that were cut from all winter. Try them; they're good. 



ROSES 



Our Maids, Brides and Richmond are all grafted stock. Much bet- 

 ter size and substance than own-root stock at this season. . 



CARNATIONS 



We grow the fancy sorts, like Aristocrat, Victory, Winsor, White 

 Perfecti" n. Enchantress, etc., and will not take a back seat for 

 anybody on quality of stock shipped. 



GREEN GOODS OF ALL KINDS 



You can order of Us 



with every certainty that you are calling on as good a 

 source of supply as there is in Chicago.

The Market 



The wholesale market seems to have 

 fallen back into its old rut, and things 

 were quiet and stock plentiful last week. 

 There was nothing of any note going on 

 among the leading retailers — a few wed- 

 dings and other social work, but nothing 

 large. Funeral work is about the only 

 thing that kept them going. This week 

 comes the closing of the large schools, 

 and a good business is looked for. With 

 these generally ends the season and so- 

 ciety will be looking for cooler places. 



The stock is now largely of roses, but 

 poor in quality. Carnations are still 

 good, but the bulk is becoming small. 

 The price for the best does not run over 

 $2 per hundred. Extra fine valley is 



in the market, and large quantities of 

 sweet peas, but not of the best quality. 

 Plenty of candidum lilies are being sent 

 in, with fair sales. The rest of the 

 stock is made up of a lot of outdoor 

 truck which does not bring much at 

 any time. Peonies from cold storage 

 are still coming in. Greens of all kinds 

 are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Quite a delegation of nurserymen will 

 leave here this week to attend the thirty- 

 third annual convention of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen at Milwau- 

 kee. This delegation will be under the 

 watchful eye of Frank Weber, who is 

 known in the Florists' Club as one of 

 the hustlers. 



The local seedsmen are making prepa- 

 rations for a large delegation to attend
