are at the height of their festivities. 

 Added to all this, new roses and car- 

 nations have arrived. Better and 

 better daily are the shipments, and 

 before another fortnight has flown the 

 good ship of prosperity will be speed- 

 ing sut'cessward on an even keel and 

 with all sails set. 



P^verybody is predicting a great fall 

 and winter trade, and, according to the 

 law of averages, this is a most reason- 

 able conclusion. Orchids are scarce and 

 prices advancing; no difficulty what- 

 ever in getting 75 cents each for the 

 best of them. There is no decrease in 

 the flood of gladioli and asters. The 

 new varieties of the gladioli, includ- 

 ing, still, America, and the long- 

 stemmed, large flowered specimens of 

 the latter, sell at good fair prices, but 

 the rank and file of them go at almost 

 any price that may be offered. 



The wholesale stores also are hand- 

 ling great quantities of Hydrangea 

 paniculata grandiflora, cosmos, trito- 

 nias, goldenrod and rudbeckias, as 

 well as dahlias. Valley at 2 cents 

 and lilies at 3 cents are not calculated 

 to warm the cockles of the growers' 

 hearts. Still hope springs eternal in 

 the human breast, and most of the 

 growers and the wholesalers take the 

 situation and their medicine philoso- 

 phically and wait with patience for the 

 good time coming. 



Convention Echoes. 



The one cloud that cast its shadow 

 over all was the sudden death of John 

 Birnie, a man universally respected and 

 beloved. His funeral at West Ho- 

 boken, N. .1., Friday, August 18, was 

 attended by nearly all the florists of 

 this section of .Jersey, including also 

 many of his Long Island brethren and 

 his New York, lassociates. He was 

 buried with impressive Masonic cere- 

 monies and his loss'^ill be especially 

 felt by the New York Florists' Club, 

 of which he was one of the oldest and 

 most faithful members. 



Many New Yorkers spent Saturday, 

 August 19, at the national capital and 

 at Mount Vernon. 



The enjoyment of the sports Friday, 

 August 18, was almost terminated by 

 the cyclonic storm that swept every-

body to cover, rocked the big boat 

 alarmingly and broke up the ball game 

 and the shooting contests. Otherwise 

 the outing was most enjoyable and the 

 immense throng was fed and enter- 

 tained with marvelous detail, complete- 

 ness and universal satisfaction. There 

 was enough of everything and to spare. 



After Mrs. Traendly won the $75 

 silver cup the ex-president could be 

 touched successfully for any reason- 

 able loan and new dignity was added 

 to his stride. 



All the prizes were valuable and 

 worthy of the occasion and the splen- 

 did club that provided them, as well 

 as the generous givers from many other 

 cities. 



The exhibits of the ribbon men were 

 among the most seductive of the many 

 displays and for some reason the space 

 around them was filled by a crowd at 

 all times of the handsomest young 

 ladies in the Armory. 



Eobert L. Graham earned fairly the 

 title of "the young man eloquent." 



Nobody envied President-elect Vin- 

 cent the sunny smile that irradiated 

 his face after the votes were counted. 

 His presentation addresses to Eobert 

 L. Graham and Eobert Halliday were 

 masterpieces of eloquence. 



Every officer and every member of 

 every committee of the Baltimore 

 Florists' Club has just cause for pride 

 and self-congratulation. 



New York thinks it deserves some 

 of the society's appreciation in furnish-

ing it with a secretary of twenty-five 

 years' experience and it believes the 

 society will add another twenty-five 

 years to his enviable record. 



The ladies' society has grown to most 

 creditable size under the presidency of 

 our Mrs. J. V. Phillips. There is no 

 good reason why it should not number 

 500 at Chicago. 



It is conceded that President Asmus 

 is a natural orator and his impromptu 

 address after the presentation of his 

 $300 silver service proved it. 



Messrs. Traendly, Berry, Scott and 

 Kakuda were uneasy while New York 

 was losing its first game and thought 

 it was about time to use them as sub- 

 stitutes in the bowling contest. The 

 result proved their uneasiness well 

 founded. 



Oscar Boehler and Emil Leuly, of 

 New Jersey, still hold their places at 

 the top of the list of old bachelors, 

 their hopes glimmering more and more 

 faintly as the years come and go.
