The Rochester Florists' Association 

 held its fourth annual banquet April 

 24, at the Hotel Rochester, and about 

 100 members and their wives attended. 

 The tables were placed in the shape of 

 a letter U, with the speakers at the 

 bottom. The decorations consisted of 

 pink carnations. W. T. Logan was 

 toastmaster, and called upon the fol- 

 lowing for addresses: John Dunbar, 

 who spokfton "The Horticultural Hori- 

 zon;" A.fe. Crockett, ''The Rochester 

 Flower Show;" W. H. Dildine, "The 

 Successful Florist of the Future;" F. 

 B. Messing; R. G. Salter, "Reminis- 

 cences," and H. P. Neun. President 

 John Dunbar said: "If we are cor- 

 rectly informed, a $60,000 appropria- 

 tion by the legislature for the horticul- 

 tural department of the Agricultural 

 College at Cornell, for horticultural ex- 

 perimentation, mainly along ornamental 

 lines, is assured. This certainly widens 

 our horticultural horizon." 



The entertainment committee was 

 composed of F. W. Vick, G. B. Hart, 

 0. B. Ogston, J. M. Keller and T. B. 

 Scblegel. The association was organ- 

 ized in January, 1908, and now has a 

 membership of 161. The officers are: 

 President, John Dunbar; vice-president, 

 George Arnold; secretary, H. B. String- 

 er; treasurer, William L. Keller. 



Middlebush, N. J.— Edouard C. Mat- 

 thes will open a branch store in the new 

 Jelin building, in New Brunswick, N. J., 

 and expects to make it one of the finest 

 flower stores in the state. Mr. Matthes 

 has greenhouses at Rosedale, L. I. 



Middletown, N. Y. — J. Meiklejohn 

 has sold his business here to F. X. 

 Dienst, the Cottage street florist. Mr. 

 Meiklejohn, who is well known in the 

 trade in New York city and elsa^here, 

 is said to have injured his health by 

 his strenuous work in developing his 

 business during his year or more in this 

 city, and is compelled to retire for a 

 time in order to get the needed rest.
