Tulips are here, and other signs of spring. Cut lilac is of splendid quality. The shipments of \'iolets continue abnormal, and with the unseasonable weather little surprise is expressed at their recession in price. Vast quantities are cleaned up to the sidewalk merchants daily at alm(Tst sum- mer prices. Colder weather seems to be an absolute necessity to save the whole- sale market from demoralization. Fortu- nately this cannot be long delayed, and we will welcome whatever will bring the greatest good to the greatest number. Qub Meeting. The Florists' Club held its monthly meeting January 11 and the attendance was close to the century mark, the en- thusiasm and good fellowship unbounded. The new oflScers were installed. Presi- dent Hallock's address was a gem of eloquence and all the new officers and trustees gave assurances of devotion to the club's interests. Secretary Young predicted the best year in the club's his- tory. Vice-president Turner filled the chair at the president's request for a time and seemed "to the manor born." President Hallock's committee ap- pointments were as follows: Legislative Committee—P. O'Mara, John I. RayDor, F. R. Pierson. Essay Committee—S. S. Butterfield, Leonard Barron. A. H. Langjahr. . Committee on Awards—C. H. Totty, Robt. Simpson, Frank H. Traendly, A. L. Miller, A. R. Kennedy, W. Duckham, W. F. Sheridan. Exhibition Committee—C. B. Weathered. John Scott, Jos. Manda, W. E. Marshall, John Birnie, Harry O. May. House Committee—J. B. Nugent, Jr., Jos. Fen- rich, B. M. Schultz. , Outing Committee — H. A. Bunyard. LoulS Schmutz, Jr., J. Austin Shaw, Chas. Webber, J.

Elliott. J. K. Allen read the treasurer's re- port, which was most satisfactory and showed a balance in the bank of $3,- 150.81. The report of the trustees, W. E. Marshall chairman, was read and ac- cepted. A long discussion took place concern- ing the donation of silver and bronze medals to the Chrysanthemum Society of America, participated in by Messrs. O'Mara, Totty, Marshall, Scott and Traendly. The ultimate result was the carrying of the motion to that etifect. Chairman Turner, of the award com- mittee, announced a visit by the mem- bers to the Scarboro plant of the F. R. Pierson Co. January 9 to pass upon the merits of White Kill.arney. The committee gave the new rose a score of eighty-nine points and recommended the award of the club's certificate. A very interesting exhibit was made of hybrid amaryllis by Harry Turner, six distinct varieties of great size and beauty, which received a cultural certificate. J A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, sent a fine plant of Begonia President Taft, which was awarded a certificate of merit. A plant and 100 cut blooms of the new single violet, Baronne Rothschild, were shown by F. W. Fletcher, of Auburn- dale, Mass., who was given a hearty vote of thanks. George Geatrus, of West Hoboken, exhibited a dozen pots of a new fern closely resembling Scottii and Boston, on which judgment was de- ferred. The names of eight life members were enrolled. For membership in the club the name of Leonard Barron was proposed. The February meeting of the club will be carnation night. A. H. Langjahr of- fered three books as prizes, for the best vase of twenty-five blooms of a new car- nation not yet distributed, 100 blooms of Enchantress, and 100 blooms of Law- sou. It was decided to have the annual din- ner as usual aud all details were left to the committee, the club first voting in favor of inviting the ladies, on motion of Mr. Weston, ably seconded by John Scott, who is now fully recovered from his long illness. The committee jippoint- ed is W. E, Elliott, A. L. Miller, J. A. Shaw and J. B. Nugent, Jr. It was de- cided that the club have its usual outing in the summer. Various Notes. As reported in last week's issue, E. V. Hallock, the new president of the Flo- rists ' Club, entertained the incoming offi- cers, and those whose terms have just expired, at a beefsteak dinner at Castle Cave, Wednesday evening, January 6. The affair was a great suf.cess. The photograph, which might be entitled *' Sweet Sixteen, appearing in this issue, speaks for itself. President Hal- lock announced his committee appoint- ments and there was full discussion as to the club's work in the year just opened. F. W. Fletcher, of Auburndale, Mass., was in the city January 11 and a guest of the New York Florists' Club. The floral staff of Bloomingdale Bros, presented W. Wallace Burnham with a handsome loving cup, a token of affec- tion and esteem. Mr. Burnham's suc- cessor has not yet been appointed. R. Harry Cathcart, Jr., president of the Yuess Gardens Co., of Newburgh, was in the city January 11. He reports a successful season and is concentrating his two stores in the one large building, the whole of which will be utilized hereafter. Walter Mott, of tliis company, is now on his western trip, which will extend to Buffalo. Anton Schultheis, of College Point, is sending some fine valley, orchids and lilac to Horace E. Froment. Joseph A. Fenrich is doing jury duty— a two weeks' galling vacation for a busy man. James Meikeljohn, formerly with the Knickerbocker hotel, as manager of its floral department, is now on the road for H. Frank Darrow. Philip Recht, representing the Hinode Florist Co., was called suddenly to Europe last week on account of the serious illness of his father. Miss Mills, proprietor of the Hinode Florist Co., says her Easter specialties will be wistaria, flowering cherry and miniature Japanese gardens, with plenty of lilies.
