Orchids were away down last week; 25 cents was high and this was obtained only for the selects. Wonderful how fast the mums have come in this year I Two weeks ahead of schedule! Some fine novelties are already seen. Dahlias have made their farewell bow. The displays were good, and the variety of flowers was won- derful, but they were not half appre- ciated.

A Visit to Manda's. The invitation of W. A. Manda to the New York Florists' Club to visit his greenhouses and nursery at South Orange, October 17, was accepted by Messrs Siebrecht, Donaldson, Miesem, Bunyard, Traendly, Fiesser, Holt, Shaw, Wagenfohr, Dahlbom, Nilson, Henshaw, Falkner, A. J. Manda and Joseph Manda. The party met at Ho- boken, where Mr. Manda welcomed his friends and furnished special transpor- tation. On arrival at South Orange dinner was served at Mr. Manda's home and the health of his household was given in champagne. Addresses were made by Messrs. Siebrecht, Bufl- yard and Traendly. Mr. Traendly spoke of the great influence of Mr. Manda in the flower shows and the hope for his cooperation in the March, 1914, ex- hibition in New York. He also sug- gested Mr. Bunyard as the logical can- didate for president of the New York Florists' Club for the coming year. The investigating committee of the club had under consideration Mr. Man- da's new dahlias, including Mrs. Du- Pont and Beatrice Manda, and will re- port at the club's November meeting, which, by the way, will be ladies' night and at which Mr. Manda will make a suitable decoration. The company enjoyed several hours in visiting the nursery and inspecting the many novelties to be seen there. Everyone returned to the city lade
