NEW YORK NOTES. 



Alex S. Burns has moved from 

 Woodside to 54 Elmhurst Ave., Elm- 

 hurst, L. I 



. Very favorable reports are heard of 

 the new scarlet carnation that is be- 

 ing grown extensively by A. S. Burns, 

 Jr.. Spring Valley, N. Y. 



Maurice Fuld, of H. F. Michell Co.. 

 Philadelphia, is in town making ar- 

 rangements for additional space for 

 the International Flower Show. A. 

 E. Thatcher, Bar Harbor, Me., is 

 here interviewing Secretary John 

 Young on similar business. 



It is reported that Jacob Bracker, 

 the carnation grower of East Willis- 

 ton, Li. I., came to gi'iet while trying 

 out a new car last Saturday and both 

 the automobile and Mr. Bracker are 

 laid up for repairs. Mr. Bracker is 

 vice-president of the Growers' Cut 

 Flower Co., whose salesrooms are at 

 111 West 28th street. 



The enterprising venture of Wood- 

 row & Marketos in establishing a 

 depot at 41 W. 28th street, where a 

 full assortment of first class decora- 

 tive plants may be found at all times, 

 has demonstrated its value in this 

 holiday time, florists from out of town, 

 as well as local, finding it a great con- 

 venience, relieving them entirely of 

 the time-consuming and expensive 

 trips to greenhouses to secure stock 

 for Christmas trade. 



We noticed an excellent advertise- 

 ment by Penn in the Boston Post, Dec. 

 14. Violets were given the place of 

 prominence, with a cut of a bunch of 

 same, and announcement was made of 

 facilities for delivering holiday flowers 

 in any part of the XI. S. by telegraph. 

 Mr. Penn makes this sort of advertis- 

 ing pay him well and other florists 

 who keep themselves in seclusion are 

 losing in equal or greater degree in 

 consequence of their economy. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



The Rice field generals, A. Zirkman, 

 R. Shoch and J. Sealley, are in off the 

 road to help in the rush of getting out 

 the Christmas orders; and incidentally 

 to have a day or two with their near- 

 est and dearest around the holidays — 

 preparatory to "off again" the first of 

 the year for new worlds to conquer. So 

 great is the pressure in the order de- 

 partment that even the advertising 

 manager, E. J. Bowers, has been im- 

 pressed into servjce.

 mond, Virginia; Arthur E. Thatcher,
