C. W. Ward is in Michigan, and will 

 not be present at the Peony Society's 

 meeting at Queens this week. 



The ball game Sunday afternoon, June 

 6, at Jasper Oval, New York, between 

 the wholesale and retail employees, took 

 place as advertised and lasted over two 

 hours. There was a good audience and 

 the park holds 4,000 when it is full. Of 

 the wholesalers John Egenbrod was on 

 first base; Hale, catcher; Lawler, third 

 base; Tompkins, center fielder; all from 

 Guttman's; Matthews, of Koran's, short 

 stop; Jacolas, of Saltford's, right fielder 

 and manager; Golsner, of C. Millang's, 

 second base; Foley, of Lecakes & Co., 

 pitcher, and George Allen, son of J. K. 

 Allen, left fielder. Nic Schreiner and 

 O'Day were umpires. Of the retailers. 

 Wolf, with Jacobs, was pitcher, and Clark 

 and Koehler, of Wadley & Smythe's, 

 proved to be the best batters for their 

 side. The balance of the retailers were 

 not known to the wholesale contingent. 

 The retailers won, with the score closing 

 15 to 30. Teddy Hale made three home 

 runs, with three men on bases each time, 

 but even with this handicap against them 

 the retailers got their goat, cleaning up 

 thirteen runs in one inning. "Too many 

 outside professionals" is the excuse the 

 wholesale boys give for their defeat. 

 None but bona fide employees of the 

 wholesale and retail houses will be al- 

 lowed to compete at the club's outing, 

 July 1. 



Charles Thorley has in his Fifth ave- 

 nue window a large painting of his 

 "House of Flowers," which he expects to 



open in October. It shows four large 

 show windows, bay trees on first balcony, 

 box trees on the second and vines ancl 

 flowering plants all the way to the top 

 of the fourth story. If the reality is 

 anything like the architect's conception, 

 it will be a thing of beauty. 



Emil Schloss, the ribbon expert; A. J. 

 Guttman, William Ford and Peter Ok- 

 kerse are all serving their country as 

 jurymen this week. 



Mr. Kather, with Wadley & Smythe, 

 left Monday evening, June 7, for East 

 Greenwich to decorate for the ladies' 

 school commencement there this week. 



Charles Zuber, son of Vincent Zuber, 

 of Whitestone, L. I., was buried Sunday, 

 a large circle of his friends manifesting 

 their sympathy. His father has been in 

 the florists' business for over forty years 

 and is known in the east as the best 

 Brunner grower, his stock being handled 

 by Alex. J. Guttman. 



At the National Bowling Tournament 

 here Mr. Duckham, of Madison, and Mr. 

 Chadwick, of New York, are distinguish- 

 ing themselves and also some of the flo- 

 rist bowlers from Baltimore. 



Sigmund Geller, of the Geller Florist 

 Supply Co., leaves for Europe Saturday, 

 June 12, on the Cincinnati, and will visit 

 Germany and Austria, returning July 13. 

 Mrs. Geller, as usual, will manage the 

 business in his absence. 



BowUng;. 



Bowling seems to receive more atten- 

 tion at Astoria and Flatbush than in 

 New York itself, where Friday, June 4, 

 only a quartette gathered. The Friday 

 night opportunities are open to all until 

 time to start for Cincinnati, and a few 



of the faithful can always be depended 

 on. Last Friday Eobert Berry had the 

 high score, 164. At Flatbush every 

 Thursday evening the bowling club meets, 

 with always a quorum. Jute 3 several 

 visitors shared the honors with the locals, 

 as the following scores indicate: 



Player. 1st. 2d. 3d.

Unless the Dailledouze boys go to Eu- 

 rope, Flatbush will have a team at the 

 August convention. J. Austin Shaw. 



Secretary John Young announces that 

 there will be an exhibition of peonies and 

 outdoor roses at the Florists' Club meet- 

 ing June 14.

The Market 



Summer has arrived, and with it a 

 taste of summer business. I suppose the 

 total sales figure up fairly well, but the 

 prices are down to rock bottom. Some 

 good commencement business last week 

 helped things out a great deal, but out- 

 side of that there was nothing doing. We 

 now have to rely on June weddings. If 

 the present hot weather continues for ten 

 days, stock of all kinds will be scarce. 

 This will enable us to get something like 

 a fair price for what we can get hold of. 



Roses are coming in by the wagon- 

 load. The greater portion of the stock 

 is poor, and is sold for next to nothing. 

 Carnations are almost as bad, only they 

 do not look quite as poorly as the roses.
