Show, which opens April 5, will be a 

 fitting mate of the National Flower 

 Show. We are to be honored by the 

 visit of the Duke and Duchess of Con- 

 naught and Princess Patricia, who are 

 patrons of the red cross tea garden at 

 the Grand Central Palace, in connec-

H. W. Thomas, of D. C. Arnold & Co.,

 illness, and will remain at the resort 

 for some time. 



The sympathy of many friends is 

 tendered John and Ambrose Cleary in 

 their bereavement by the death of their 

 mother, Thursday, March 23. 



C. C. Trepel will have as novelty at- 

 tractions, at his store at Blooming- 

 dale's, a Japanese garden department, 

 with small native attendants, and a 

 Holland section, with little Dutch la- 

 dies, in costume, selling bulbs, nursery 

 stock and other importations. Mr. 

 Trepel will establish an auction depart- 

 ment, selling two days in the conserva- 

 tory on the roof and one day, each 

 week in the store. 



Madison avenue is fast becoming the 

 center of the retail cut flower industry, 

 a dozen new stores having been opened 

 during the last year. From Forty- 

 fourth street up to Seventy-second 

 street nearly every block has its floral 

 emporium. 



J. H. Small & Sons will move May 1 

 to their new store at Fifty-second 

 street and Madison avenue. The high 

 rentals of Fifth avenue and Broadway 

 are thus avoided. 



The plant auctions are in full swing. 

 At the MacNiflf Horticultural Co. rooms 

 the crowds of suburbanites increase 

 at every sale. Two auctions here are 

 conducted simultaneously. 



The seedsmen have had a breathing 

 spell during the cold weather, but now 

 that spring is really here they are at 

 it again, night and day.

 the National Flower Show. 



The New York Galvin store was vis- 

 ited last week by Thomas Galvin, of 

 Boston. Mr. Galvin is greatly pleased 

 with the season 's record under the 

 care of Manager Decrie. 



Louis Michel, formerly with Charles 

 Abrams, of Brooklyn, has opened a 

 store on his own account in the Or- 

 pheum, at 578 Fulton street.

Retailers Can Make Bird Houses a 

 Paying Side Line 



"PLOWERS, the Garden, Birds and Bird 

 *■ Houses are all so closely connected that 

 the sale of the latter can readily be made in 

 combination with Flowers and Plants, as also 

 for ornaments for Gardens and Summer 

 Homes. 



Send at once for my CATALOGUE and Price List of 



HAPPY BIRO HOME HOUSES 



I took up the manufacture of Bird Houses some time 

 ago, and because other retail florists throughout the 

 country have sent me many orders and inquiries I have 

 gone into the making of Bird Houses in still larger quan- 

 tity to supply the demand, and now have a splendid line 

 to select from.
