A Modern Sacrifice 



To induce you to buy Cut Flower and 

 Design Boxes we made the prices cheap enough 

 (the Flower Boxes are as good as ever) so that 

 you wouldn't mind putting in a stock of 500 

 or more in assorted sizes at these 

 prices, which are much less now 

 than later in the fall when the busy 

 season opens up. We want to over- 

 come the summer dullness and 

 these prices ought to do it.

gone to the resorts for rest and re- 

 cuperation. 



Koses, carnations, lilies and all other 

 flowers feel the strain and are at their 

 lowest ebb. If the growers realize ex- 

 penses nowadays, they are well satisfied. 

 Buyers are sovereigns in the wholesale 

 marts and no reasonable offer for any- 

 thing is refused. Gladioli are coming 

 fast. They will be the next of the spe- 

 cialties to flood the market, now that 

 the peonies have departed and asters 

 have begun to take their place. Every- 

 body must be growing Crimson Ram- 

 bler. Bunched nicely, they fell to al- 

 most nothing as the week ended. Far 

 better left at home to beautify the coun- 

 try places or illustrate their value for 

 hedging. There is little use sending 

 the flowers to the wholesale market. 



Variotts Notes. 



This is sweet pea week in New York. 

 The convention opened Wednesday, July 

 7. The exhibit and sessions are in the 

 Museum of Natural History and the 

 public may view the display without 

 cost. The metropolitan papers are fea- 

 turing the exhibit and giving it gener- 

 ous notices. The cunning hand of Or- 

 ganizer Bunyard is seen in the well 

 created publicity. A banquet will be 

 tendered exhibitors and promoters Thurs- 

 day evening, July 8. Eminent speakers 

 have been invited and the launching of 

 the new society is made under happy 

 auspices and with flying colors. 



The seventy-eighth fair of the Amer- 

 ican Institute will be held September 

 21 to 23 at the Berkeley Lyceum build- 



ing, on West Forty-fourth street. The 

 annual chrysanthemum show of the so- 

 ciety takes place at the same hall, No- 

 vember 10 to 12. 



Charles Lenker, of Freeport, left Sat- 

 urday, July 3, for a voyage to his old 

 home, his first Efiropean trip in twenty 

 years. He was accompanied by one of 

 his sons. 



Saturday, July 3, saw many of the 

 growers of this vicinity, Long Island and 

 New Jersey, visiting and fraternizing 

 with their New York wholesale agents 

 and materializing harmonious conditions, 

 in preparation for the anticipated big 

 fall and winter trade, which is now in- 

 evitable because of the assured harvest 

 and the growing and universal pros- 

 perity. 



Nathaniel Meckelberg, of Traendly & 

 Schenck's, made an eflScient umpire at 

 the ball game. 



Congratulations are universal for Sarp 

 Burnett, of Burnett Bros., because of 

 his escape from single blessedness. The 

 happy couple spent their honeymoon at 

 Atlantic City. 



The Greek florists are laying plans 

 to make their outing, July 29, a record 

 breaker in attendance. They have a big 

 boat and orchestra engaged and will 

 have two Athenian bills of fare that will 

 tickle many American palates. The discus 

 throwing and Marathon race will be fea- 

 tures of the day. 



The list of travelers to the Cincinnati 

 convention is growing daily. To insure 

 Pullman comfort, write Secretary Young 

 and book yourself for the trip while <le- 



sirable berths remain. The Cincinnati 

 boys may rest assured New York will do 

 its share to make the silver anniversary 

 a grand success. 



James Coyle, of H. E. Froment's, and 

 Mrs. Coyle, will spend a month in their 

 cottage at Highlands, N, J. 



Most of the wholesalers are baseball 

 fiends and recreate in the afternoons. 

 The coming contests with the Chicago 

 (Jubs will clean up the street. 



A. L. Barnett, after an absence of al- 

 most two years spent in the west, has 

 returned to New York and will continue 

 to represent Reed & Keller. 



Sidney B. Wertheimer is sending his 

 friends souvenir post cards from Baden- 

 Baden, in Germany. 



Outins: Echoes. 



A full list of the prize-winners, and 

 some pictures, will be found on pages 12 

 and 13. 



Only eight of all the club's commit- 

 teemen were absent. 



The banishment of ice cream and 

 lunch from the boat and the noon break- 

 fast on arrival worked like a charm. 



The necessity of forming the baseball 

 teams a week ahead was emphasized, 

 only two of the four contests filled. 



There was ample time for five frames 

 for all the bowlers and next year will 

 see this error rectified. Few can get 

 their stride in three frames. 



Some of the lady bowlers made their 

 gentlemen contestants look like "thirty 

 cents. ' ' 



New York bowlers, would do well to 

 take Andrew Wilson along to Cincin- 

 nati. 



The running races by the ladies v^re 

 all hotly contested. There were few 

 falls and some fast traveling. The 

 grounds were perfect and there was room 

 for all. 



All the children's races had a dozen or 

 more contestants. The little folks had a 

 great time and carried home lots of 

 prizes. In fact, over $300 in gold found 

 its way into the pockets of the winners, 

 thanks to the widespread generosity of 

 the club members. Some of the success- 

 ful ones covered all expenses and had a
