TSAENDLT GIVEN TIME. The annual banquet of the New York Wholesale Florists' Protective Association was held at the Hotel Bres- lin October 28 and was a great success. To the committee in charge, A. H. Lang- jahr, P. J. Smith and William P. Ford, credit is due for the able manner in which all details were arranged. The banquet room was tastefully decorated with autumn leaves and yellow chrys- anthemums and on the large table was a centerpiece of Hoosier Beauty roses. Each member wore a gardenia bouton- niere. A fine musical program added to the enjoyment of the repast. Coffee and cigars being served, P. J. Smith introduced Walter F. Sheridan as master of ceremonies, who ably offi- ciated, as might be expected of him. He first called upon Frank H. Traendly, president of the association, and to the great surprise of that gentleman, pro- ceeded to pass sentence upon him for all the good he had done for the asso- ciation during the eight years he has been at its head. After compelling his attention until everything in the way of nice things had been said of him, he presented him, on behalf of the associa- tion, with a beautiful gold clock and candelabra to match, as a token of the appreciation in which he was held by his fellow-members, and of his faithful service as their presiding officer. Mr, Traendly, who for once in his life was taken completely unawares, upon recovering his composure, first as- sured himself that the clock was run- ning on time and was in good working order, then feelingly expressed his thanks, and those of Mrs. Traendly, for the testimonial, promising to use his best endeavors to still further advance the interests of the association and to continue its efficiency. Each member present added a few words of appreciation to those of the toastmaster, and, it might be said, in- creased the discomfiture of the gentle- man under sentence. After these proceedings, a special meeting of the association was held, at which much enthusiasm over the suc- cess of the organization was evinced and many suggestions were made look- ing to a further extension of its work. The impression prevailed that there could be no better organized body of business men today than that found in the New York Wholesale Florists' Pro- tective Association, whose only aim is to improve, if possible, the wholesale market conditions in New York, and to advance and protect the interests of its members in every way. The secretary- manager. Ward W. Smith, was ^al^o warmly commended for the able manner in which he had fulfilled the duties of his office. At the close, announcement was made that Mr. Traendly had that day been appointed a member of the Society of American Florists' commit- tee on national credits and collections bureau. THE INTEENATIONAL SHOW. Five months may seem a long period to those of us who are not engaged in preparations for the next International Flower Show, to be held at New York, April 5 to 12, but to the men who are working like beavers to make the 1916 show overshadow all previous shows, this time seems to be all too short. With monthly meetings and a division of the general committee into subcommittees, the work of preparation is well ad- vanced; but with the idea, with which the workers are imbued, that the next show must present new features, new ideas, and, above all, show proguess from an expositional point of view, five months for further preparation is a pe- riod all too small. The idea of the rose garden, so well carried out at the show last spring, bids fair to become a most important feature of the next show, for the reason that the premiums offered are on a most liberal basis and sufficiently attractive to insure six or more exhibits in the class set apart for displays of this kind. Just think of it—six rose gardens! The rock garden, a much cherished institution on the other side of the water and an object of curiosity to many of our budding iiortiealturists, is
