is hoped to make this a general love 

 feast, in which retailers from all the 

 cities around New York may join, and to 

 which doubtless all the wholesalers and 

 growers will be invited. On the eve of 

 the wonderful season so close at hand, 

 this would be a send-off worth while to 

 all concerned. 



George Saltford is enjoying a week's 

 rest at his old home in Rhinebeck, N. Y., 

 "where the violets bloom." 



The wholesale streets are busy making 

 everything spick and span for the fall 

 opening, which will be, the nabobs say, 

 about September 15. 



The young men of the employee bri- 

 gade are all back from their holidays, 

 much the better and browner for the 

 open air life upon the mountains or near 

 the billowy ocean, and all are busily en- 

 gaged in putting the finishing touches on 

 the wholesale stores' decorations. 



The spirit of expectation is rampant. 

 A great season is prepared for, and a 

 strenuous one. It does not depend on 

 Harriman and Wall street, fortunately, 

 but is founded on the great harvests and 

 the general prosperity they are sure to 

 materialize. The same hope dominates 

 the retail enterprises everywhere. Stores 

 are being redecorated and improved in 

 every direction. Some of the new ones 

 will excel, it is said, anything ever before 

 seen in the metropolis. 



Carnivals are all the rage now at the 

 seaside resorts near J^'ew York. At As- 

 bury Park and Averne, as usual, our re- 

 tail florists are supreme. From baby 

 carriages to automobiles, their skill is 

 demonstrated. Luckily, these make a 

 needed outlet for the tremendous ship- 

 ments of gladioli and asters. Enough of 

 these arrive daily to decorate every baby 

 carriage in Brooklyn. 



Ihe seed and bulb houses are all busy 

 downtown with the largest summer retail 

 business they have ever known. Their 

 window decorations are renewed daily, 

 and several seem to realize more than 

 ever before the practical attractiveness 

 of a brilliant display. The coming sea- 

 son is quite promising and a great fall 

 trade is inevitable. 



Captain Berry won high score honors in 

 our club's bowling. Owing to the ab- 

 sence of Donaldson, Miesen and Fenrich, 

 the team was not as strong as expected, 

 but it "did its dumdest" and kept out 

 of the bottom hole, at any rate. Messrs. 

 O'Mara, Traendly and Young modestly 

 refused to risk their reputations. 



The club will meet every Friday eve- 

 ning at Thumm's alleys until further 

 notice. J. Austin Shaw. 



ALBANY, N. Y. 



The third annual outing and clam- 

 bake of the Albany Florists' Club was 

 held at Henkes Bros.' grove, near New- 

 tonville, August 15. The day was spent 

 in looking over the new greenhouse in 

 course of construction by Henkes Bros., 

 in sports and games and social inter- 

 course. Over 100 persons were present. 



On a meadow which sloped eastward 

 gradually toward the grove the games and 

 sports of the day were carried through. 

 James S. Snyder, of Rhinebeck, won the 

 fat men's race. The winners of the 

 other contests were as follows: Boys'
