 choice cattleyas at $1. The best cypri- 

 pediums sell at $2 per dozen. 



Violets, thanks to Yale, were selling 

 in New York November 25 at $1.50 per 

 hundred. Good prices may be depended 

 on until Thanksgiving. Sweet peas are 

 fast improving in quality. A few south- 

 ern-grown gladioli are here, and there 

 are plenty of stevias, narcissi, callas, 

 wallflowers, bouvardias and antirrhin- 

 ums. The supply of autumn leaves 

 shows no diminution and the demand 

 remains. Holly trees, well berried, have 

 arrived, and southern mistletoe, as per- 

 fect as ever, is here. 



Vailous Notes. 



The next meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club will be held December 11. 

 Much interest is already taken in the 

 nomination contests for the various of- 

 fices, especially for that of president. 

 There are five candidates for that office 

 — Messrs. Pierson, Schenck, Stumpp, De 

 Forest and President Weston. 



Walter Mott, representing B. F. Ham- 

 mond, of Beacon, N. Y., is in the city,

 tion.

Joseph Trepel, of Brooklyn, cele- 

 brated the opening of his new building 

 and store at 1060 Broadway November

 pleted for the formation of the club 

 immediately after Thanksgiving. 



S. J. Eeuter, of Westerly, R. I., passed 

 away Friday, November 24. He was 

 buried November 26 and many in the 

 trade here attested their respect by at- 

 tending the funeral services or sending 

 floral tributes. Mr. Eeuter was univer- 

 sally respected. 



E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., Philadelphia, was in the 

 city November 24.

"Give me that money!" said a bold 

 bandit to George Kaucher, manager of 

 the Bowery store of Adolph LeMoult & 

 Son, who was taking $38 from the cash 

 register preparatory to closing at 11 

 o'clock, on the night of November 15. 

 Mr. Kaucher threw the money into a 

 vase of mums and grabbed the in- 

 truder. When Mr. Kaucher recovered 

 consciousness he found he had been 

 stuffed into the icebox where the cut 

 stock is kept. Fortunately, the latch on 

 the door had not caught, so he got out 

 and called the police. He found the 

 $38 where he had thrown them. A few 

 coins were scattered over the floor, 

 which the police said the robber had 

 thrown there in rage at not having got 

 more money. 



John H. Muller, a retired florist, who 

 was in the business in Brooklyn for
