WASHINGTON NOTES. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Small, Jr., 

 Washington, D. C, are visiting their 

 son in Cleveland, O. 



Henry Pfister is giving up his store 

 at 118-120 Connecticut Avenue, North- 

 west, due to an inability to renew the 

 lease thereto. No information has as 

 yet been given out as to Mr. Pfister's 

 plans for the future. 



George H. Cooke, of Connecticut Ave- 

 nue and L streets, is being forced to 

 look for a new location due to the pro- 

 posed tearing down of the building in 

 which he is now located. The new 

 Ijuilding will occupy the site of sev- 

 eral of those in the block and upon 

 the completion of the work Mr. Cooke 

 will have the second store from the 

 corner of L Street and facing on Con- 

 necticut Avenue. Mr. Cooke has not 

 as yet completed his plans covering the 

 intervening four months, but in all 

 probability he will take a store in the 

 vicinity for that period. 



It is reported that W. A. Taylor has 

 been selected to succeed Dr. B. T. Gal- 

 loway as assistant secretary of agri- 

 culture when the latter leaves for his 

 new duties at Cornel! University, the 

 latter part of August. Mr. Taylor, 

 prior to becoming connected with the 

 bureau of plant industry, of which he 

 is at present the chief, was an assis- 

 tant pomologist. Three years ago, 

 when H. G. Powell was acting chief of 

 the bureau of plant industry, Mr. Tay- 

 lor became his assistant and later he 

 l)ecame the permanent assistant chief. 

 About a year ago upon Dr. Galloway's 

 appointment to his present position. 

 Mr. Taylor was made chief of the 

 bureau. He is a man of wide exper- 

 ience in technical agricultural work 

 and has had considerable experience in 

 the department as an administrator. 



CHICAGO NOTES. 



Guy French, president of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club, states that their 

 car known as the "President's Spe- 

 cial", going to the S. A. F. convention 

 over the Lake Shore R. R., has many 

 florists now booked and Pres. Wlrth 

 and the Minneapolis florists will be in 

 their party. 



All kinds of accessories to the flor- 

 ists' stock show an increased demand 

 rather than otherwise. The wreaths 

 of magnolia leaves and prepared mate- 

 rials also gain in popularity each sea- 

 son. At Poehlmann Bros., T. Waters 

 of the supply department states that 

 the sales of these wreaths have been 

 very large. 



A feature of the American Beauty 

 Section at Poehlmann Bros, this week 

 is a large house of that 'rose, grown on 

 purpose for short-stemmed flowers, al- 

 ways in such demand for Memorial 

 Day. The plants are a mass of buds, 

 on stems ranging from ten to fifteen 

 inches, and the grower says this crop 

 of Beauties was timed as carefully as 

 the long ones for other occasions. 



Worcester, Mass. — The florist shop 

 of C. L. Midgley & Co., 209 Main street. 

 • has been bought by Carl Everberg. 

 Woburn. Mr. Everburg is now in pos- 

 session of the shop, although Mr. 

 Midgley will remain for a time longer 

 in general charge of the business, 

 which he has conducted there for sev- 

 eral years. 



FROM FATHER TO SON. 



George M. Stumpp, New York's 

 well-known florist, turned over to his 

 sou, George E. M. Stumpp, on May 

 16th, the business at 58th street and 

 Fifth avenue. George Stumpp estab- 

 lished himself at 58th street and 

 Madison avenue, thirty-four years 



George E. M. Stumpp. 



ago. Eighteen years ago he moved to 

 the palatial store on Fifth avenue, 

 which he has occupied ever since. He 

 has been prosperous from the start 

 and nobody who knows him will envy 

 Mr. Stumpp his well-earned retire- 

 ment from business cares. He goes 

 to Germany on the Kaiser Wilhelm 

 II., on June 2, and will not return un- 

 til late fall. George E. M. Stumpp, 

 whose portrait appears in this col- 

 umn was brought up from boyhood in 

 the florist business. He developed a 

 rare taste and originality in the ar- 

 rangement of flowers and is at all 

 times ready with new ideas in deco- 

 rative effect. Visitors to the New 

 York spring flower show will recall 

 the rich arrangement there shown, all 

 the handiwork of this versatile young 

 man. He is a worthy successor to his 

 father and can be depended upon to 

 uphold the prestige of the name. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Most of the stores here close about 

 noon on Memorial Day except in the 

 outlying district where there is plant 

 and wreath business to be done. 



Mr. Gracey reports that things are 

 progressing favorably for the Florists' 

 Club outing. The date will be June 

 16th, instead of the 10th, as at first

The attraction at the next meeting 

 of the Florists' Club is expected to be

 Garden," California, who arrived in
