The Tarrytown Dinner. 



The annual dinner of the Tarrytown 

 Horticultural Society, January 13, was a 

 great success. A few New Yorkers en- 

 joyed the club's hospitality. The nja- 

 jority of diners-out from the city, how- 

 ever, were at Madison taking in the 

 smoker there. The Tarrytown dinner it- 

 self was in advance of all previous ban- 

 quets in its ten years' record. The table 

 and wall decorations in ferns, Winsor 

 and White Killarney, were by the F. K. 

 Pierson Co. A snow storm raged up on 

 those far-famed hills and kept the at- 

 tendance down to fifty. Abel Weeks, 

 the president, welcomed the visitors and 

 turned the duties of toastmaster over to 

 A. H. Brown, a past master in the art. 

 The best people of Tarrytown attend 

 these banquets. The principal speakers 

 were Surrogate Millard, Counselor Grif- 

 fin, Professor Case, of the high school; 

 Robert Patterson ; John F. Dinkel ; 

 Messrs. Lee, of White Plains; Dell, of 

 Mt. Pleasant; Wilson, of Short Hills; 

 F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, and Editor 

 Raymond, of that city. 



Vartotff Notes. 



It looks as if about a baker's dozen 

 will visit the Indianapolis carnation con- 

 vention from New York, but they will be 

 the top-notchers of that department of 

 the trade and will likely travel in a 

 jolly company. 



The dinner committee of the New 



York Florists' Club will meet this week 

 at the office of Chairman Elliott to per- 

 fect plans for the enjoyment of a big 

 crowd at this popular yearly celebration. 

 The inclusion of the ladies in the at- 

 tendance and the popular price at which 

 the dinner will be provided should bring 

 every member of the club, with his wife 

 or sweetheart, to the delightful reunion. 

 There is no reason why it shouldn't 

 be equal to the outing, in attendance 

 and popularity. The date will be early 

 in February, possibly on Lincoln's birth- 

 day. 



The dinner of the New York and New 

 Jersey Plant Growers' Association takes 

 place next Thursday, January 28, at 

 the Hotel St. Denis, at 6:30 p. m. Chair- 

 man Miller says it will be in line with 

 the two successful outings of the so- 

 ciety. Fred Atkins will preside at the 

 "feast of reason." 



The Rickards brothers sang at the 

 annual dinner of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety, at Red Bank, January 20. 



Madison Square Garden is crowded 

 this week with the second big auto show 

 of the year ; 15,000 were in attendance on 

 the opening night. The booths, offices 

 and many of the machines show evidence 

 of the florists' art. 



Harry Bunyard, of Arthur T. Bod- 

 dington's, is on his western trip and is 

 missing all the good things in the din- 

 ner line that he loves fo have "warm 

 the cockles of his heart." Mr. Bod- 

 dington reports as recent visitors to
