"WHO'S WHO-AND WHY" 



W. WELLS. 



IT is highly complimentary that, after visiting us two years ago, W. Wells should 

 be coming back. He must like us. As everybody knows, at least, as every 

 chrysanthemum grower knows, W. Wells is the English end of the interna- 

 tional triumvirate that includes T. W. Pockett as its Australian member and 

 Charles H. Totty as its American representative. Mr. Totty is the mainspring 

 that is energizing the clockwork of the approaching National Flower Show at 

 New York, so why shouldn't his business associate run over from Merstham, in 

 Surrey, to attend? No reason at all, so he did. He arrived at New York this 

 week on the Mauretania, in company with several other distinguished gentlemen 

 who will assist in judging the show. 



Tuesday evening at nine o'clock 

 members of the association will assem- 

 ble in the men 's dining hall of the Mur- 

 ray Hill hotel for a Dutch treat and a 

 social evening. Wednesday the Na- 

 tional Gardeners' and Florists' Bowl- 

 ing Tournament will be held at Thumm 's 



alleys, Broadway and Thirty-first street, 

 beginning at nine o'clock in the morn- 

 ing and lasting throughout the day. 

 Other entertainment will be provided 

 during the week, which will be an- 

 nounced during the first days of the 

 show.
