Various Notes. An effort by the Massachusetts For- estry Association, State Board of Ag- riculture and other bodies to have the state legislature appropriate $300,000 toward exterminating the gypsy moth has been defeated by a considerable ma- jority and the motion to appropriate $60,000 for the introduction of natural parasitic foes was also defeated. It is probable that this terrible pest will cause widespread destruction this year, for the efforts of individual proprietors and local bodies will avail little. Active work iu fighting the elm leaf beetle has commenced in a number of towns and cities. The last few warm days have made the beetle quite active. Disparene, a form of arsenate of lead in p&ste form, is generallv used. ' W. N. Craig. EDWARD J. BERTERMANN. The accompanying portrait of Edward J. Bertermann is from a sketch made by the artist of the Indianapolis Sen- tinel and was published with the fol- lowing note: Edward J. Bertermann, general man- ager of the Bertermann Bros. Company, is one of the most thoroughly equipped floriculturists west of the Alleghany mountains. The company, of whose ex- tensive business he has for a long time had the practical business management, besides the subject of this sketch, in- cludes three other brothers—John Ber- termann, president of the corporation; Walter H. Bertermann, vice-president, and Irwin F. Bertermann, secretary- treasurer. The company long since established at 3002 E. Washington street, extensive greenhouses, where a large and varied stock is grown. With a thorough knowl- edge of the floral art Edward J. Berter- mann has coupled the force that has come to him from years of study of business methods and this naturally, has rendered him invaluable in bringing trade of the Bertermann Bros. Company to the splendid and profitable condition it enjoys in the local business world at this time. The Bertermann brothers have long been actively identified with the local, state and national association of florists, and the magnificent success which has attended the annual chrysanthemum shows in this city to a very large de- gree may be attributed to the wise judg- ment and excellent advice of the gentle- man whose portrait The Sentinel pre- sents today, Mr. Bertermann, who has been iq this country and city for twen- ty-seven years, will shortly leave for Europe and recently took out his nat- uralization papers in the Superior Court in order that he might go back to the land of his ancestors a genuine and un- questionable American citizen. He resides in a pretty home at 628 Lockerbie street, and is a warm personal friend of his neighbor, James WTiitcomb Eiley. Hanover, Pa.—F. E. Cremer has had some very nice contracts for plant beds iu the National Cemetery at Gettysburg. NEW YORK. The Market. The weather conditions are at last seasonable and the market seems to have settled down to its usual summer dull- ness. School commencement, Decoration clay demands and June brides may com- bine to lift things slightly, but the gen- eral sentiment is one of resignation to ihe inevitable. A reduction in the over- whelming supplies of the last two weeks may enhance values temporarily for Me- morial day, but at the present writing there is enough of everything and to spare. Outdoor stock is abundant, espe- cially valley and lilac, which are every- where and fine in quality and popular. The lower grades of roses and carnations come in floods and have no permanent value. Cape jasmines were a drug on Saturday, one firm with a shipment of 1,000 not having sold a dozen up to closing time. Lilies continue plentiful and cheap. Various Notes. Nick Schreiner, of J. K. Allen's force, will celebrate the outing holiday by mar- rying Miss Mamie Flynn, June 29. Sigmund Geller returned home from his European trip on the Kaiser Wilhelm last Tuesday. Alex Guttman finds the added conven- ience of two telephones a necessity and lias no complaint to make of the season's business. Jos. Leikens, of Newport, was in town last week making some extensive pur- chases for his new store on Bellevue avenue there. He seems well pleased with liis progress and has the filling of the Beekman estate to complete, as an anchor to windward. The outing is next in interest to the club's peony and ladies' night on June 13. The official program will be dis- tributed next week and the list of sports and prizes far exceeds that of last year, while the attendance promises a similar increase. The committee ask all who will attend to communicate with Treasurer Sehenck at once that ample provision may be made for all. Among the prizes already offered are: Fire for the ladies' bowling match by Pres- ident Traendly; nine bottles of champagne by John B. Nugent to the winners of the base ball mutch; 16 by John Raynor and $5 by W. C. Mansfield for the men's bowling prizes; prizes for the one mile race and the married men's flfty-yard race, by Ford Bros.; 100 yard race, by Philip F. Kessler; half-mile walkinif match, by W. H. Ountber; boys' flfty-yard race, under 8 years, by Jos. Millang, two prises $4 and $2; boys' race, under 12, by John Young; boys' race, under 16, by Walter Sheri- dan; girls' race, under 8, by J. K. Allen; girls' race, under 12, by Chas. Schenclc; girls' race, under 16, by Moore, Hentz & Nash; two prizes for married ladles' race, by Sigmund Geller; old maids' race, by Joseph A. Millang; 100 yards special for growers, and their foreman only, the Lord & Burnham prizes $5 and $3; girls' race under 18, a $6 bolt of ribbon and a special press bowling prize of a handsome bronze inkstand, by John Birnie. Many more prizes and contests will be reported In our next. If any other of the club members desire to give further prizes they can at once communicate with President Traendly. Immense importations of European stock are arriving, among them a Bhip- ment of 600 bay trees to Julius Roehrs, many of them magnificent specimens The demand for the bay seems continuous and their use almost universal. Hardly a hotel or restaurant is without them. Their popularity increases and the over- supply which seemed at one time to threaten has not materialized. Eevolu- tionized Coney Island, with its magnifi- cent parks and dreamland, has found the bay just the tree for its summer
