Gardeners' Convention. 



The National Association of Garden- 

 ers, -which convened March 17 and 18 at 

 Sheffel'a hall, was an encouraging suc- 

 cess. The president, John Shore, con- 

 ducted the deliberations. On the open- 

 ing day 160 gardeners and florists at- 

 tended the sessions and ninety remained 

 to the banquet in the evening, J. T. 

 Withers delivered an interesting lecture, 

 with stereopticon slides, on "Tree Pres- 

 ervation," and James Bell read a paper 

 on carnations. The exhibits completely 

 filled the large room devoted to them. 

 Will C. Rickards acted as manager and 

 W. E, Maynard, the secretary of the 

 society, was a busy organizer and worker 

 in its behalf. Over 1,000 members are 

 now on the secretary's books, and over 

 200 of these beyond the Eockies. 



Jos. A. Manda made a fine exhibit of 

 orchids; Rickards Bros., their plants of 

 the selected strain of Primula obconica 

 grandiflora; Mr. Wynne, sweet peas, and 

 Mr. Stewart, three magnificent plants of 

 cyclamen, all of which received special 

 certificates. 



Carl Shafer's carnation exhibit was 

 especially good. W. Turner won the 

 bronze cup for muskmelons. The U-Bar 

 cup for the winner of the most prizes 

 was taken by Wm. Kleinheinz, of Ogontz, 

 Pa., with an average of one-half point 

 over Mr. Bell. Messrs. Lyons, Wynne 

 and Shaeffer were among the winners 

 also. 



O. V. Zangen exhibited his sprinkler 

 and E. R. Thieler his flower vases and 

 jardiniere. 



The next meeting will be held in Phila- 

 aelphia in 1910. 



The banquet was well attended, Presi- 

 «ent Shore in the chair. To the toast of 



The President," led by Al Rickards, 

 the gathering joined in the national 

 anthem. The toast to "The National 

 Association of Gardeners" was re- 



sponded to by Messrs. Kleinheinz, Bell 

 and Stewart; "The Horticultural 

 Achievements of New Jersey," by C. H. 

 Totty; "The Commercial Drummer," by 

 W. H. Marshall, and ' ' The Horticultural 

 Press," by W. H. Maynard and A. F.

Brooklyn Retailers' Dinner. 



The Retail Florists' Association of 

 Brooklyn was much encouraged by the 

 success of its first annual dinner and 

 theater party, March 16, briefly reported 

 last week. The affair was creditable in 



every way, the best element of the re- 

 tail trade of the City of Churches being 

 there, with many invited guests. May 

 Irwin was presented with a great basket 

 of flowers, as heavy as herself, by the 

 society. . The dinner was flrst-class, and 

 the program of music excellent. The 

 management was perfect, Messrs. Jahn, 

 Phillips, Wilson and Crawbuck making 

 special efforts, in conjunction with sev- 

 eral of the leading lady florists of the 

 city, in making the afflftir a brilliant suc- 

 cess. All this tends to harmony and 

 mutual benefit. 



Various Notes. 



, April 12, the day after Easter, will 

 be the date of the next meeting of the 

 New York Florists' Club. The outing 

 committee has been busy, and announces 

 the date of the club's annual holiday, 

 Thursday, July 1, and the place, Duer's 

 pavilion and handsome grounds, at White- 

 stone Landing. 



All the auctions are in full blast, and 

 prices are ahead of expectations. W. J. 

 Elliott says the opening sales were a 

 surprise in the attendance and interest, 

 and the demand for roses especially 

 warm. Ambrose Cleary made a completo 

 clearing up of the big roomful March 19. 

 Both these houses sell every Tuesday ami 

 Friday through the season. Over at the 

 Fruit Auction Co., on Franklin street, J. 

 P. Cleary sells every morning, but Mon- 

 days, at 10:30, the stock he selected in 

 Europe, and so suburbanites and retail 

 florists have greater facilities for stock- 

 ing up than ever before in their experi- 

 ence. 



George Hildenbrandt is convalescing

Lyman B. Craw underwent successfully
