man of the outing committee, with his 

 own carnations, while Julius Eoehre pre- 

 sented every lady with an orchid, and 

 John Scott decorated the men with his 

 choicest gardenias. 



A splendid dinner was served at 7, 

 quite the equal of any of the club's 

 dinners in New York, and after an elo- 

 quent welcome by the president, Anton 

 Schultheis, he put upon Fred Atkins the 

 duties of toastmaster, a position Mr. 

 Atkins filled with rare unction and suc- 

 cess. Interesting addresses were made 

 by Miss Mills, the able president of the 

 Hinode Florist Co., and by Messrs Craw, 

 Whilldin, Julius Roehrs, Sr., Louis Du- 

 puy, F. H. Dressell, A. L. Miller, Secre- 

 tary Siebrecht, Herman Steinhoff, John 

 Scott, Alfred Zeller and Paul and Henry 

 Dailledouze. Mr. Atkins and Mr. Schul- 

 theis both made interesting addresses, 

 the keynote of all the speeches demon- 

 strating harmony, loyalty and stability. 



Various Notes. 



The eighth annual outing of the New 

 York Florists' Club took place Wednes- 

 day, July 1, at Wetzel's Grove, Point 

 View, L. I., the same convenient and 

 delightful resort where the club has pic- 

 nicked so often and so successfully. 

 There was a good crowd and every ar- 

 rangement was perfect. 



The Bickards brothers have both been 

 visiting their patrons in New Jersey and 

 New England and bring back optimistic 

 views on the outlook. Will Rickards 

 will represent the ancient house of 

 Bridgeman's at the convention. 



R. G. Wilson, of Brooklyn, and family 

 returned last Friday from a week's out- 

 ing in the Oranges. Mr. Wilson, who is 

 president of the Brooklyn Retail Flo- 



rists' Association, says the society has 

 already 200 members " and is growing 

 weekly. He intimates a similar associa- 

 tion will be established in New York 

 by the retailers, the two working in 

 harmony. 



The referee in the bankruptcy of Hicks 

 & Crawbuck, 76 Court street, Brooklyn, 

 sold at auction, June 30, the stock and 

 fixtures of the firm. 



Mr. Hanfling, of the firm of Russin 

 & Hanfling, returned last week from 

 ■Europe and announces the selection of 

 many novelties in the supply line and an 

 enjoyable trip to his old home. 



Samuel Woodrow, the plantsman, is 

 making a successful trip through New 

 England. 



Bonnet & Blake, Brooklyn, are taking 

 turns at their usual outings, one in his 

 fishing smack adding to his stock of fish 

 stories and the other shortly to begin 

 his summer holiday at his old home in 

 Rochester. 



Joseph J. Levy, of John Seligman & 

 Co., with his family, leaves next week 

 for a sojourn in the mountains and re- 

 sorts of Sullivan county. 



Rudolph Asmus had the misfortune to 

 fall and break his thigh last week. The 

 accident is a most serious one and will 

 put Mr. Asmus on the shelf for many 

 weeks. 



William Duckham, of Madison, will 

 make his annual visit to Europe this 

 week. 



Frank Millang and family have moved 

 to their summer home at Yorktown, 

 N. Y., on the shores of Lake Katonah. 



McKenzie Westwood, of the firm of 

 Mengham & Westwood, 422 Columbus 

 avenue, with his family, has gone for a 

 visit at his old home in Canada and 



afterwards for Plattsburg, N. Y., on 

 Lake Champlain, to be away until Sep- 

 tember 1. The new firm has had a 

 satisfactory start. 



The Dailledouze brothers, Paul and 

 Henry, known everywhere as "the heav- 

 enly twins," leave this week for a trip 

 to Denver, Yellowstone, Portland, Alaska 

 and southern California, and it will be 

 months before they return home. They 

 will visit all the western florists in their 

 travels. 



L. B. Craw, of the Lord & Burnham 

 Co., was a guest at the plant growers^ 

 outing last week, and voiced the interest 

 of his house in the progress of the so- 

 ciety and his readiness to do his share in 

 increasing its capacity. 



Miss Zeller, daughter of Alfred Zel- 

 ler, of Flatbush, met with a painful ac- 

 cident June 25, falling downstairs, but 

 fortunately escaped with severe bruises. 



Anton Schultheis, of College Point, 

 leaves this week for his annual visit to 

 Europe. His sons will manage the big 

 plant in his absence and have added a 

 steam launch to their other ambitious 

 ventures. 



Mr. Schumacher, of Pankok & Schu- 

 macher, Whitestone, L. I., is now in Ger-^ 

 many. 



Trepel, in Brooklyn, had the high- 

 school order, the rules this year making 

 uniformity requisite. Enchantress car- 

 nations and field daisies in shower bou- 

 quets were largely used in all the schools.. 

 J. H. Troy, who is a genial Irishman; 

 and not Englishman, as I was guilty of 

 calling him a couple of weeks ago, is: 

 just completing the planting of over a 

 mile of rhododendrons in Central park, 

 the gift of Mrs. Russell Sage. Over 

 ' 23,000 plants were used, and over $40,-
