NEW YORK NOTES. 



Chas. Loechner of New York city is 

 on a business trip through the west. 



John Meisem of Elmhurst, N. Y., ex- 

 pects to sail for Europe about May 31. 



The New York office of Peters & 

 Reed of Zanesvllle, Ohio, has been re- 

 moved to 23 West 23rd St. 



A. T. Boddington of New Yorli is in 

 Texas this week in attendance on the 

 State Florists' meeting at Waco. 



Julius Roehrs of Rutherford, N. J., 

 intends to start on a European trip 

 early in June. 



The Old Farm Nurseries (H. Den 

 Ouden & Son), Boskoop, Holland, have 

 appointed Otto Heinecken, 17 Battery 

 Place, New York, as their American 

 agent. 



The New York Cut Flower Ex- 

 change and Charles Millang have both 

 secured a new five-year lease on the 

 premises they have been occupying in 

 the Coogan building. 



John Donaldson of Elmhurst, N. Y.. 

 has just returned from a pleasure trip 

 to Richmond, Va., where he reports 

 having had a very enjoyable time. Mr. 

 Donaldson having recently disposed of 

 his home and greenhouse property has 

 purchased a place in Patchogue, and 

 win move there this summer. 



At the annual meeting of the Cut 

 Flower Exchange on Saturday, May 

 2, John Donaldson handed in his 

 resignation as president and John 

 Schneider of Astoria was elected to 

 fill his place. Alex Burns was chosen 

 to succeed Mr. Donaldson on the board 

 of directors. The balance of the 

 officers were re-elected. 



Quite a few of the wholesale florist 

 establishments announce that hereaf- 

 ter their places will be closed all day 

 Sunday. This is in line with the gen- 

 eral trend of sentiment among the 

 wholesale flower trade and the strin- 

 gent laws governing the hours of labor 

 will doubtless result in an entire ces- 

 sation of Sunday work in the whole- 

 Bale district. 



John R. Weir has severed his con- 

 nection with the James Weir Incorpor- 

 ated concern, Brooklyn, N. Y. "John- 

 nie" Weir, as he has been familiarly 

 known to the flower trade of New 

 York for thirty or forty years has an 

 unimpeachable record for business in- 

 tegrity and in whatever new connec- 

 tion he may establish he will have the 

 sincerest good wishes of the entire 

 trade. 



M. C. Ebel, of Madison, N. J., F. L. 

 Atkins, of Rutherford, N. J., and W. 

 H. Siebrecht, of Chappaqua, N. Y., 

 have been added to the New York 

 Flower Show Committee. The com- 

 mittee met and organized for the work 

 of the next show, and elected F. R. 

 Plerson, chairman, Theodore Have- 

 meyer, vice-chairman, John Young, 

 secretary and business manager, and 

 F. R. Newbold, treasurer. The show 

 will open at the Grand Central Palace 

 on Wednesday, March 17, 1915, at 2

 Tuesday night. The next meeting of 

 the committee will be held on Monday, 

 May 11, tor the purpose of preparing 

 the preliminary schedule.

FALL RIVER, MASS. 



THE MIRACLE. 



Unlovely tbings they were and cold 



As Death itself, last fall— 

 The bulbs I planted in the mold 



Beside my garden wall. 

 Yet here above each sodden husk 



A boureeoned beauty blows 

 And fills with hyacinthine musk 



The little garden-close. 



Ah ! lovelier, dearer seed than mine. 



Albeit cold as they, 

 I watched my widowed friend consign 



To church-yard mold today. 

 Yet he, in darkness, questioning 



The same Benignant Power, 

 Can neither see the distant spring 



Nor visualize the flower.
