The meeting of the New Jersey Social Florist Club on January 2 was a de- lightful one. It was unlike the previous meetings, as there were no discussions, but was given overentirely to recitations, singing and music from the flute, piccolo and zither. Mr. John N. May, the presi- dent of the club, and the one to whom the club feels indebted for his kindness in furnishing a bowling alley and reading room for the use of the members, was presented with a very fine and large crayon portrait of himself. The artist was Mr. Charles Storer, of Boston. It was the gift of the club and Mr. May's employes as a token of their appreciation anil liigli esteem for him as an em])loyer, associate and friend, and for his unwav- ering fidelity to promote the interests of the clnl), both socialh' and intellectually. The reading room and bowling alley are open every evening (except Sunday) and the library, while yet small, is soon to be increased to a good size. The fol- lowing gentlemen have kindly conti-ibuted toward it: Mr. Peter Henderson, Jersey City, N. J., five volumes, Mr. Geo. Nich- olas, of Summit, seven volumes, and Mr. Alfred Dimmock, of Summit, The Reich- enbachia. which is not yet completed. But Mr. Dimmock kindly donates them soon as they are issued. It is a very fine work on orchids by F. Sander, of St. Albans, Eng. The bound volumes of Am. Florist have been sent by the pub- lishers for the actual cost of producing tliem. Not only horticultural works find their way there, but also works of fiction, history and literature. Many other vol- umes have already been promised, among which is the American Garden bound. We hope that many clubs like the above will be formed all over the country, that our craft may be elevated to the front ranks and hold its place among the great industries of our country. Lyman B. Coddington. New Providence, N. J. ZI
