 J. M. 



G. H. Woodrow, secretary and treas- 

 urer of the Fifth Avenue Floral Co., 

 has sent word to the Flower and Gar- 

 den Club that in addition to the dona- 

 tion he has previously made to that 

 club for the purpose of assisting in 

 making a "city beautiful" for the 

 centennial, he would also give 1,000 

 tomato plants. The Fifth Avenue con- 

 cern 's first donation to the club was 

 5,000 salvia plants. This was made 

 during the centennial flower contest, 

 and they were offered regardless of the 

 result of that contest, which resulted in 

 salvia being chosen.

 and were elaborate. His dinner com- 

 mittee were Messrs. Milliot, Drexler,

 town; Manda, for the New York Flo- 

 rists' Club; Sperry, for the press, and
