idea of the market's needs and supply is 

 secured, harmony of prices and interests 

 encouraged and fraternity in its most 

 practical form exemplified to the mutual 

 advantage of all the members of the as- 

 sociation. 



E. W. Fenger, of Irvington, N. J., has 

 for some time been shipping his stock to 

 Henshaw & Fenrich in the corrugated 

 pasteboard boxes manufactured in Brook- 

 lyn by the Thompson & Norris.Co. He 

 says he finds they save express charges, 

 are durable, malang many trips before 

 giving out, and he likes them better than 

 any shipping box he ever has used. 



Gottlieb Myer, on Madison avenue, has 

 been busy of late. He had the family 

 order at the funeral of Mrs. Ward Mc- 

 Allister. Wednesday, October 20, at the 

 home of the bride and the Church of the 

 Epiphany, he had the decorations for 

 the Watts-Jackson wedding. In No- 

 vember the sister of Miss Jackson will 

 be married to Mr. Goodsell, the nursery- 

 man, and Mr. Myer will have the deco- 

 rative work to do. The new yellow rose, 

 which he handles exclusively in New 

 York, he has named the Golden Beauty. 

 The rose originated at Raymond, Miss., 

 with Prof. C. S. North, superintendent 

 of education there, and was called by 

 him the Peary, but later changed to the 

 Frederick Cook. What further trouble 

 this will cause the pole travelers ia a 

 matter of conjecture, but of the beauty 

 of the rose and its popularity Mr. Myer 

 declares the proofs are all here, and no 

 records are buried anywhere. It is a rich 

 yellow, of strong stem and lasting 

 quality. 



Bowling for the fall and winter season 



begins this week in New York. Captain 

 Berry has decided Wednesday evenings 

 the best for the majority and this will 

 not interfere with the matches of the 

 club with Astoria and Flatbush.

Horticultural Society Affairs. 



A meeting of the Horticultural Society 

 of New York was held at the American 

 Museum of Natural History Wednesday, 

 October 13. Fourteen new members were 

 elected, including one life member. The 

 election was also announced of T. A. 

 Havemeyer as a vice-president. An in- 

 terested audience listened to the lecture 

 announced for the day, "Coniferous 

 Evergreens; Their Use in the Land- 

 scape, ' ' by George V. Nash. The speaker 

 illustrated his remarks with numerous 

 lantern slides, some of them colored. 



In a previous issue of this paper at- 

 tention was called to the exhibition of 

 this society to be held at the American 

 Museum of Natural History November 

 3 to 7. The exhibition will open on the 

 evening of November 3 at 7 o'clock, and 

 this evening will be devoted especially to 

 the reception of the members of the so- 

 ciety, the museum and afiSliated organi- 

 zations. On Thursday, Friday and Sat- 

 urday the hours will be from 9 a. m. to 

 10 p. m., with the exception of the hours 

 between 5 and 7, when the museum will 

 be closed to the public. On Sunday the 

 exhibition will be open from 1 to 5 p. m. 

 It is to be noted also that this exhibition 

 is entirely free, no charge being made 

 for admission. 



It is hoped that all will appreciate the 



advantages offered by this exhibition, and 

 that all who can will enter the competi- 

 tion. All are welcome as exhibitors, 

 whether members of the society or not, 

 and an invitation is extended to socie- 

 ties and individuals to participate. The 

 secretary will be pleased to send a sched 

 ule to anyone on application. Address 

 communications to George V. Nash, sec- 

 retary. Horticultural Society of New 

 York, New York Botanical Garden, 

 Bronx Park, New York City. 



The management makes an especial 

 request that entries be made early, so 

 that space may be properly allotted, thus 

 insuring a prompt placing of exhibits 

 immediately on arrival. 



Those who have visited the American 

 Museum of Natural History are acquaint 

 ed with the beauties of its interior and 

 the excellent facilities offered by its 

 spacious halls for exhibition purposes. 

 To those who are not familiar with this 

 building, a word of explanation may be 

 welcome. The main entrance is on the 

 ground floor, on Seventy-seventh street. 

 A large foyer succeeds the entrance cor- 

 ridor. This foyer is oval in shape and is 

 illuminated by numerous incandescent 

 lights, and would make an ideal place in 

 which to exhibit large specimen palms 

 and other plants, and perhaps some of 

 the larger specimens of chrysanthemums. 

 All entering the museum pass through 

 this foyer. Opening from this are three 

 radiating halls, well lighted by simple 

 windows, and well suppUed with electric 

 lights. Cases, placed transversely on 

 either side of the broad central aisle, di- 

 vide these halls into smaller compart- 

 ments, in which may be placed individual
