NEWS NOTES.

 plate of Iris Kaempferi var. Senjo No 

 Hora. 



The florists of Albany, N. Y., have 

 signed an agreement to close their

 July and August. 



On Sunday, July 12, fire caused about 

 $2500 damage to the stock of Frank 

 Neiscbert Co., manufacturers of artifi- 

 cial flowers, at 39 Barclay street, New 

 York. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co., florists' sup- 

 plies, located at 1129 Arch St., Phila- 

 delphia, have been losing goods 

 through the theft of some of their em- 

 ployes. 



The contract for building green- 

 houses and instruction rooms at the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College was 

 not awarded, all of the bids submitted 

 having exceeded the amount of the ap- 

 propriation. 



Charles Derynck, who since 1902 has 

 rented the Smith greenhouses on St. 

 Lawrence Boulevard. Montreal, pur- 

 chased them in April and is gradually 

 remodelling and rebuilding. This is 

 the oldest florist's establishment in 

 the city, having been started by David 

 Smith sixty years ago. 



Springfield, Mass., is in state of won- 

 derment over the sudden descent of 

 myriads of white moths on the electric 

 light poles and wires of that city. The 

 moths are regarded by local experts 

 as "rare specimens which have not 

 visited the vicinity since 1862." In our 

 humble opinion the snowy visitor is 

 nothing other than the notorious 

 browntail moth. Around Boston we 

 have learnt the meaning of these "July 

 snow storms." 



The range of greenhouses at Chicago 

 originally known as the Garfield Park 

 Rose Co.'s plant is to be torn down. 

 The ground has now become too valu- 

 able for that purpose. These green- 

 houses were built in 1885 by C. C. Col- 

 lins and passed into the hands of the 

 Peck estate the following year. In 

 L887 they came under the control of C. 

 FrauenfeMer and remained so to the 

 present time. Mr. Frauenfelder has a 

 fine retail store on Madison St., .and is 

 now enlarging and making extensive 

 improvements. Mr. Frauenfelder es- 



tablished this business in 1884 and is 

 the pioneer florist of the West Side. 

 He will have a fine place when com- 

 pleted. 



PLANT TRADE IN CHICAGO. 



The usual summer quiet is on but 

 there is a fairly good demand for Bos- 

 ton ferns, asparagus, rubbers, arau- 

 carias and aspidistias. There are 

 practically no blooming plants in the 

 market. Chrysanthemums are coming 

 on finely. Groweis are working up a 

 good stock of pot chrysanthemum 

 plants, also cyclamens. Primula sinen- 

 sis and obconica. Lorraine begonias, 

 poinsettias, etc.. for the fall and winter 

 trade.
