■when the large bits are eliminated from 

 the retailer's regular income. 



Society is leaving for the summer col- 

 onies two weeks earlier than usual. The 

 exodus is already in full swing. Before 

 the end of the month there will be good 

 cause for every department of the trade 

 to take a holiday. Doubtless July 1 will 

 see A general conforming to the system 

 of other years and the closing of the 

 wholesale doors at 3 p. m. 



The Rose Meeting. 



The union meeting of the American 

 Rose Society and the Horticultural So- 

 ciety of New York was held at Bronx 

 park June 10 and 11. This joint dem- 

 onstration was naturally expected to ma- 

 terialize both a large attendance and a 

 large exhibition, but it did not. In fact, 

 if J. H. Troy, of New Eochelle, had for- 

 gotten to come, the rose show would 

 have required much less room. But the 

 genial Englishman saved the day. He 

 made a splendid display and did it ar- 

 tistically, using fancy vases, hampers and 

 baskets in his arrangement. He well de- 

 served the F. R. Pierson silver cup. Sil- 

 ver medals were awarded W. A. Manda 



and Dr. Van Fleet for exhibits of "Wi- 

 churaiana hybrids. Other exhibitors were 

 F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, collections 

 of peonies, outdoor roses and sweet peas 

 of many new and popular varieties; R. 

 Vincent & Sons, of White Marsh, Md., 

 geraniums, over thirty varieties; Harry 

 Turner, of Castle Gould, L. I., Malmai- 

 son carnations; Lager & Hurrell and 

 Julius Roehrs Co., orchids. Mr. Troy 

 staged nearly fifty varieties of^oses. 



W. C. Barry, who 'was annoupced as 

 the lecturer of the occasion, was not 

 present, nor was his lecture reajK Leon- 

 ard Barron made a stereopticon exhibit. 



P. O'Mara was chairman and an- 

 nounced the fall exhibition of flowers 

 and plants at the Museum of Natural 

 History building. Eightieth street and 

 Columbus avenue, November 17 to 19. 

 The conclusion arrived at by the attend- 

 ance was that Bronx park is too far 

 from the beaten track to draw the in- 

 quisitive New Yorker. The Museum of 

 Natural History is quite central, easily 

 reached and quickly from downtown, and 

 ample in room and convenience for a big 

 show, if this city ever can be woke up 

 to its privileges flwicultural again. 



Ed. Roehrs, secretary of the orchid sec- 

 tion, is strongly in favor of a more cen- 

 tral spot for orchid exhibits in the fu- 

 ture. 



Vaxiotts Notes. 



Thomas Wholgren, head gardener for 

 Burden, of Westbury, L. I., is again a 

 hero. Last winter he was severely 

 wounded defending his employer's home 

 against burglars and last week he saved 

 the lives of two of the Burden children 

 and their governess in overcoming a mad 

 Newfoundland dog, being severely bitten 

 himself, his hand badly lacerated. Mr. 

 Wholgren was taken at once to the Pas- 

 teur Institute for treatment. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr., arrived at Rotterdam 

 June 17 and will make a tour of Europe 

 this summer. 



Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, of the J. M. 

 Kellar Co., Brooklyn, are also summering 

 in Europe and George Stumpp, the re- 

 tailer of Fifth avenue, and wife are en- 

 joying their annual tour in the same lo- 

 calities. 



Next Tuesday, June 23, the auction 

 season closes at W. Elliott & Sons, 42 

 Vesey street. Special invitations and
