Various Notes. 



Monday, September 12, the first fall 

 meeting of the New York Florists' 

 Club takes place, at its rooms in the 

 Grand Opera House building on Twenty- 

 third street. There will be convention 

 echoes. A good exhibit is promised 

 and samples of the prizes won at Roch- 

 ester will be on exhibition, with gen- 

 eral opportunity to test their value. A 

 ladies' night is contemplated in Octo- 

 ber. The club was never in a more 

 prosperous condition. It was repre- 

 sented at the funeral of Lyman B. 

 Craw, one of its most popular mem- 

 bers, Saturday, September 3, at Irving- 

 ton, by President A. L. Miller, W. F. 

 Sheridan, J. H. Pepper, James Meikel- 

 john and J. Austin Shaw. The club sent 

 a floral wreath. President Pierson, of 

 Tarrytown, a beautiful tribute and a 

 wealth of flowers from many friends 



and business associates banked the 

 room and covered the coffin. Mr. Craw 

 bore his long and severe illness with 

 wonderful patience and bravery, con- 

 scious for some time of the inevitable. 

 He was a man of rare business tact 

 and energy and had been connected 

 with the firm of Lord & Burnham for 

 over twenty years. He leaves a wife 

 and daughter, to whom the sympathy 

 of all in the trade is extended in their 

 great bereavement. 



The Long Island Bowling Club began 

 practice for Baltimore Tuesday after- 

 noon and evening, August 30. Every 

 Thursday Flatbush bowls harmoniously. 



At the floricultural exhibition of the 

 Swabian Volkfest, at Coliseum park, 

 Ridgewood, L. I., last week and this 

 week, liberal prizes were given for car- 

 pet bedding, geraniums, asters, bego- 

 nias, celosias, salvias, coleus and can- 

 nas, also foliage plants, palms, ficus and 



golden privet. John Dreier, of Middle 

 Village, displayed his skill, as usual, in 

 a miniature cottage garden, and l^ed 

 Marquardt, of the same town, con- 

 structed the great column of fruit and 

 flowers, the most attractive novelty of 

 the exhibition. The prizes were all in 

 gold, and the artistic work of the flo- 

 rists was greatly admired by many 

 thousands of visitors, especially on 

 Sunday. August F. Schrader, of Elm- 

 hurst, has been the superintendent of 

 this great festival for fifteen years. 

 Among the prize winners whose names 

 are familiar to all are: John Baumann, 

 John Dreier and Fred Marquardt, of 

 Middle Village; C. Woerner and Charles 

 Koch, of Flatbush; A. Miller, of 

 Jamaica, and Herman Maenner, of 

 Maspeth. 



Julius Roehrs left September 5 with 

 his son for a trip to Mexico. 



The MacNiff Horticultural Co., 62 

 Vesey street, has opened its auction 

 rooms, with Robert MacNiff at the 

 helm. He is a young man of splendid 

 energy and has many years of expe- 

 rience in this line of work. 



Charles Millang was autoing last 

 week among his growers, calling on 

 John M. Hunter & Son and T. W. Ly- 

 decker & Co., of Englewood, David 

 D-ean, son of the veteran, James Dean, 

 and he also visited Bretenzel. Ly- 

 decker & Co. have twelve houses plant- 

 ed to roses and carnations. In spite 

 of the dry season, he says Bretenzel 's 

 dahlias are superb. The auto was his 

 gift to his daughter on her nineteenth 

 birthday.
