Various Notes. 



At a special meeting of the directors of 

 the Retail Florists' Association Septem- 

 ber 7 it was decided to hold a smoker 

 Friday, September 17, at Reisenweber 's, 

 on Fifty-eighth street, to which the 

 mayor and prominent city officials will be 

 invited as well as leading retailers in all 

 the suburban towns. An elaborate vaude-

 numbers sixty-five members.

Monday, September 13, the fall re-

W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., the secretary of 

 the New York and New Jersey Plant 

 Growers' Association, said early this 

 week that the response to the invitations 

 to that society's outing Thursday, Sep-

 bowlers.
