A NEW YORK CELEBRITY. 



The picturesque form of Luc Aubree, 

 more familiarly known as "Frenchy," 

 is one of interest to all who have the 

 good fortune to behold him while in 

 action. His photograph pictures him 

 in characteristic attitude. Dress is 

 not his strongest point, though per- 

 sonal adornment is advanced to the 

 limit. With a huge bunch of oak 

 leaves strapped to his back, a bird's 

 nest or two carried in his hands and 

 an enormous bunch of wild flowers 

 and grass fastened to the lapel of his 

 coat, Frenchy is ready for business. 



Although past 73 years of age, he is 

 as supple and active as most men 30 

 years his junior; he is abundant in 

 humor and a favorite with all whom 

 he may meet. Every florist in Greater

New York knows and patronizes him. 

 Frenchy, after serving in the French 

 army — having been twice wounded — 

 came to this country, and for the past 

 quarter of a century has been follow- 

 ing his calling of greenhouse pedler. 



Most of his time is spent in the woods 

 and swamps gathering foliage, pussy 

 willow branches and ferns, the sale 

 of which enables him to exist. Deserv- 

 ing is he of his sobriquet — "The peri- 

 patetic woodsman."
