 gant cigar box donated by Phil Kessler, 

 who also furnished one of the gobblers, 

 the club placing the other on the altar. 

 Enthusiasm and refreshments were abun- 

 dant. 



Thanksgiving night the Flatbush bowl- 

 ers held their annual turkey contest. As 

 usual, Mr. Riley won the large bird with 

 a total of 214 and Alfred Zeller removed 

 the medium bird as second prize. The 

 whole club participated. 



Saturday, November 27, George H 

 Blake, of Bonnet & Blake, Brooklyn, won 

 a 21-pound bird. 



Captain Berry has suggested a Christ- 



mas turkey contest for the New York 

 Bowling Club, December 15. This con- 

 test will be open to all members of the 

 Florists' Club and the Astoria, Flatbusu. 

 Jersey City and Madison clubs. Ihe 

 contest will begin at Thumm's alleys 

 promptly at 8 p. m. There will be three 

 turkeys if enough entries reach Captain 

 Berry in time to make this possible, one 

 for the high score, one for high average 

 in two games and one in the third game 

 to the score nearest 100, ties to be de- 

 cided by the roll off of one ball on each 

 alley. The entrance fee will be 50 cents, 

 and Mr. Berry will book entries Monday 

 evening, December 13, at the meeting of 

 the Florists' Club. No one can win more 

 than one turkey. It is possible a smoker 

 may follow the contest.

The Market. 



Thanksgiving week gave the florists 

 here a good, stiff trade. Chrysanthemums 

 wore in good supply and they sold well 



and at fair prices. They were the flowers 

 most in demand. 



Carnations are slow in getting into the 

 market in proper quality or quantity, but 

 are steadily improving. Paper White 

 narcissi are just making their appearance, 

 and they, with White Romans, will be 

 needed to take the place of mums for 

 funeral work. 



Trade conditions in this territory are, 

 in the main, highly satisfactory and 

 promise a good season. All the florists 

 are busy all the time. 



Varioui Notes. 



Dugan & Cain have purchased the Fair- 

 view Greenhouses and stock and will con- 

 tinue the business under its old name. 



Elwood Kline, formerly with Chas. P. 

 Mueller, and his brother, Norval, for- 

 merly with Culp & Co., have formed a 

 partnership and opened a flower store in 

 Newton, Kan. They have the best wishes 

 of their friends in the trade and have 

 every prospect of success. W. H. C.

 ual on receipt of 40 cents.
