ST. VALENTINE HINTS

ison, N. J., in a good speech. Martin C. 

 Ebel, also of Madison, spoke for pub- 

 licity. Eobert Craig was in his hap- 

 piest vein. Then Adolph Farenwald 

 urged Philadelphia to lead at the show, 

 as she has done in the past. The de- 

 bate closed with bright talk on matters 

 of interest. 



The exhibition was good. Samuel S. 

 Pennock was responsible for much of 

 it. His company showed Mrs. Charles 

 Russell rose. Robert Scott & Son staged 

 Irish Fire Flame, Killarney Brilliant 

 and U. B. Ford. Cottage Gardens Co., 

 Queens, N. Y., exhibited Matchless, its 

 new white carnation. J. D. Cockcroft set 

 up a great vase of Carnation Northport. 

 Scott Bros., of Elmsford, had some fine 

 carnation novelties. Traendly & Schenck 

 sent Salmon Queen. • Dailledouze Bros., 

 of Brooklyn, staged Enchantress Su- 

 preme. William Eccles was fine. On 

 the whole it was an exhibition worthy 



of the meeting that Edward Reid had 

 planned so well. 



Little Mary. 



Those whose business takes them to 

 Ludlow street are familiar with a child of 

 10 or 11 years, often seen watching the 

 unpacking and repacking. She seems 

 to love flowers dearly and will stand 

 gazing for a long time at the beautiful 

 blossoms. Sometimes she is alone and 

 sometimes she has a little group of 

 friends with her. She is always quiet 

 and never in the way. Often she goes 

 over to the desk where Mr. Meehan 

 stands, giving directions or receiving 

 visitors, and watches him wistfully un- 

 til a word or a nod tells her that she 

 may have an odd or broken flower, a 

 treasure that is highly prized. This is 

 Little Mary. A friendship has grown 

 up between the big business man and 

 the child, a friendship of few words,

suggestive on one side of a family care- 

 fully reared, with every advantage at 

 home; on the other of a rather forlorn 

 little life with few, perhaps no advan- 

 tages, the greatest pleasure an occa- 

 sional visit to her friend at the flower 

 house. 



Various Notes. 



The friends of Sydney Bayersdorfer 

 will be sorry to learn that he is ill at 

 his father's home in this city.
