ORANGE, N. J. 



The regular monthly meeting and flor- 

 al display of the New Jersey Floricultur- 

 al Society was held May 6. A very prac- 

 tical and concise pa|)er upon ''Tlie Com- 

 mercial Rose from Planting to Cutting" 

 was read by Harry 0. May, of Summit, 

 his maiden etlort, which was well re- 

 ceived and provoked considerable' discus- 

 sion' from a large inmiber of members 

 present. Tlie usual display of cut flowers 

 came from Peter Uuli'. George Smith and 

 William Bennett and plants in pots from 

 D. Kindsgrab. Malcolm MacRorie and 

 Chas. Ashmead. Tlie orchids, Cattleya 

 Mossiae. C. ilcndelli, C. Skinneri and 

 Erassavola fragrans. were ficim the 

 houses of William Barr, of Llcwell3'n 

 Park, who devotes an entire range of 

 glass to thesei exotics, grown by Arthur 

 Eodvvell. These were of |)articular in- 

 terest and were noticed in illustrat'cd ar- 

 ticles in the public press. Two new 

 members. Paul Minder, of N'e^vark. and 

 William Reed, who has taken George 

 Smith's place at Colgate's, were elected. 

 A discussion upon new certificates for the 

 society filled out the evening. 



George Smith has taken possession of 

 the stand of JIa.ssman of East Orange, 

 which he recently purchased.

The Market. 



The good prospects for a rattling bus- 

 iness which were in evidence last week 

 were of such short-lived duration that it 

 almost took one's breatli away to see how- 

 prices tumbled. The bright, warm weath- 

 er brought flowers into bloom bj- the 

 thousands and they were piled into the 

 wholesale houses by the wagon load. 

 The warm weather seemed to have had a 

 depressing effect on the demand, which 

 for a couple of days dwindled to almost 

 nothing. At present business is much 

 better, there is not so much stock in 

 sight and tlic temperature is cooler. Tlie 

 hot weather socjii made itself seen in the 

 quality of the stock. Roses, especially, 

 are getting small and Beauties are losing 

 color. Carnations, also, are losing size 

 and red ones are beginning to suffer 

 somewhat. There are lots of calla and 

 longiiiorum lilies and they sell ifuite 

 .\'ell. but at low prices. Violets have 

 breathed their last and are now out of 

 this market till next fall. Buli>ous stock 

 is also about done. Ferns and "green 

 goods" are as la.st reported. 



Various Notes. 



G. Bruuer's Sons, of this city, have 

 gotten out a little catalogue describing 

 their varied stock of hardy hybrid, per- 

 petual, climbing and tea roses for gar- 

 den and bedding purposes. They have 

 been in the business for years and their 

 .stock is of the best and contains many 

 varieties. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Society will be held Saturday 



evening, May 14. Nominations for board 

 of directors for the coming year will be 

 in order and our annual picnic will also 

 be talked over. Anyone with some new 

 or novel plan will be welcomed.

BRANT & NOE. 



A recent visit to the establishment of 

 Brant & Noe, at Forest Glen, 111., where 

 I met many old friends and made some 

 new ones, was one of my pleasant ex- 

 periences. Mr. Brant has the happy 

 knack of making visitors feel so much 

 at home that they almost imagine they 

 are there in fact and so feel no com- 

 punction in critically examining every 

 house. I felt so and did so, and am 

 pleased to record that their roses, the 

 Beauties in particular, are a revelation. 

 In size, color and shape of bud they are 

 simply perfection. The quantity of high 

 grade long steins they are cutting cer- 

 tainly shows that Jlessrs. Kimel and 

 iSahn, the managers, are masters of the 

 art. 



A finer crop of carnations it has not 

 been my fortune to see this season, and 

 judging from the qualify of the young 

 stock they are at present fielding, and 

 the go-ahead way the work is being 

 conducted, it is a good augury for the 

 coming season. Bibes. 



CoLUMBU.s. O. — A new greenhouse will 

 replace the dilapidated structure at City 

 park. Architect Frank L. Packard has 

 charge of the plans. The city has no 

 money with which to build the green- 

 house and a bond issue ■will be necessary.
