no fears, while those who planted just 

 before the frost are hoping for the 

 best. 



Shakespeare comes in for his share 

 of flowers next Saturday when his 

 statue will be draped with festoons of 

 fresh blossoms and appropriate exer- 

 cises mark the anniversary of his 

 birth. 



The crop of Spanish Iris is said to 

 be a comparative failure, so many of 

 the plants coming "blind." The grow- 

 ers attribute this to the bulbs having 

 been grown too dry last summer. 



John Algotz, manager of the many 

 small parks aljout the city, has been 

 appointed to superintend the city nur- 

 series on the Gage farm. He will be- 

 gin at once the erection of greenhouses 

 and a dwelling house tor himself. 

 This work of the city in establishing 

 this enterprise is something of an in- 

 novation and the outcome will be 

 watched with interest. 



The opening of the new Blackstone 

 hotel Saturday came at a time when 

 the supply of flowers was abundant, and 

 Mangel, who had charge of the decora- 

 tions, used them to good effect. One 

 hundred large hydrangea plants were 

 artistically grouped and together with 

 daisies and large palms, the effect of 

 the whole was beautiful. The table 

 decorations at the several banquets 

 were much admired. The palms came 

 from .Tulius Roehrs Co., of Rutherford, 

 N. J. 



The Moninger Co, report business as 

 very active this spring. The amount 

 of greenhouse building calls for large 

 quantities of lumber, pipes, etc., and as 

 a result this company has purchased 



property adjoining their plant which 

 they will use for storage purposes. 



The few stray peonies drifting into 

 the market this week show that the 

 season for this favorite is upon us. 

 The variety generally known as Old 

 Red has made its appearance long, be- 

 fore its usual time. Mr. Reiser, of 

 Kennicott's, says he has had thirty 

 years' experience, and never knew 

 peonies to be so early before. He con- 

 siders it a bad sign for the peony 

 market. 



An occasional peony in a sheltered 

 spot in the parks is making a record 

 this week. 



Personal. 



Ben Zalinger, for five years with 

 Sinner Bros., in the Market, is now 

 working up a business for himself, 

 soliciting orders for flowers from clubs, 

 etc. 



Virginia Poehlmann, little daughter 

 of Mr. and Mrs. August, underwent 

 an operation for tumor, at the Augus- 

 tina hospital, on the 9th, and is re- 

 covering nicely. The tumor was 

 caused by a fall.

AT LAST WEEK'S TEST 

 BEFORE THE 



Nassau County Horticultural 

 Society 



APHINE 



Was pronounced by many 

 experts to be the most effec- 

 tive insecticide on the market 

 today for general greenhouse 

 and outdoor use. 

 The demonstration again 

 proved conc'usively that 

 Aphlne will do all that 

 is claimed for it. 

 A trial w II convince you.
