tion enjoyed their annual visit to the 

 Jersey growers March 14, meeting at 

 Hoboken and taking autos for the 

 journey, as usual. There were present 

 C. W. Scott, of Whitestone; Gerard and 

 Henry Dreyer, of Elmhurst; Oscar 

 Boehler, H. C. Steinhoff, Chas. Engeln 

 and H. Baumann, of West Hoboken; 

 Fritz Dressel, of Weehawken; H. 

 Schoelzel, of New Durham; J. H. Fies- 

 ser, of North Bergen; Julius Eoehrs, 

 Jr., of Rutherford; H. Ware, of North 

 Bergen; Wni. Pankok, of Whitestone; 

 F. W. Marquardt, of Middle Village; 

 Louis Schmutz and Phil Manker, of 

 Flatbush; Henry Schmidt, of Union 

 Hill; Mr. Lehnig, of Hackensack; W. 

 H. Siebrecht, Jr., of Astoria, and rep- 

 resentatives of the press. 



The first call was at Fritz Dressel 's, 

 in Weehawken, at one time the rubber 

 king. Next to H. C. Steinhoflf's, where 

 A. Dwyer is foreman. The next stop 

 was at John Eeichert's, at North 

 Bergen, where the fat man has a fine 

 general assortment. At J. H. Fiesser's 

 a call was made, and then on to New 

 Durham and Herman Schoelzel 's, where 

 Mrs. Schoelzel was the generous hostess, 

 serving an elaborate lunch to her hun- 

 grj' and thirsty visitors. Two new 

 ferns, sports of Scholzeli, were greatly 

 admired. Both are distinct types. Then 

 came Hackensack and Lehnig & Winni- 

 f eld's big plant. Woodsen & Christen- 

 sen, of Woodridge, came next, where 

 the big daisies are grown that are han- 

 dled by Wm. Kessler and Jas. McManus. 

 Then a call was made on the Julius 

 Roehrs Co., although a whole day is 

 needed to do the 100 big greenhouses. 

 The plant of Bobbink & Atkins drew 

 the travelers across the way and it 

 would take another day to do this es- 

 tablishment justice. Komitsch & Junge 

 and Emil Savoy, of Secaucus, were the 

 next places visited. The Exotic Nur- 

 series was the last establishment at 

 which a stop was made. Good stock 

 was the rule everywhere, and most of 

 ii, was already sold, we were told. 



The banquet in the evening was a 

 fitting close to a delightful day.
