M. H. LEVINE CO. 



874 Broadway New York City 



ELCO BRAND OF RIBBONS 



recently purchased from Paul Weiss. 

 Work is expected to start within a few 

 weeks. 



David Geddis, of the St. Louis Whole- 

 sale Cut Flower Co., and his right-hand 

 man, Mr. Hoerr, spent the week-end 

 here. P. J. Foley motored them to 

 Morton Grove July 23. 



A. E. Kunderd, Goshen, Ind., was 

 here July 25 to look over the gladioli 

 now coming to market. Several of the 

 most popular varieties in the market 

 were raised by Mr. Kunderd. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



The midsummer lull has struck New- 

 ark, but local florists report business 

 as good as could be expected. There is 

 more or less funeral work and now 

 and then a wedding. There is 

 some transient trade, though this is 

 small. Gladioli are the most plentiful 

 of the stock flowers. Roses and other 

 flowers, however, are sufficient for the 

 demand. 



Florists generally feel satisfied with 

 the volume of trade thus far this year, 

 considering the thousands who are out 

 of work and the general business de- 

 pression. An active season in the fall 

 is looked forward to with confidence. 



Various Notes. 



William H. Witheridge, 532 Broad 

 street, is replacing broken glass in his 

 greenhouse and renovating. 



The Washington Florists, 577 Broad 

 street, report that they have consider- 

 able funeral work and that this has 

 made their average business good for 

 midsummer. The aggregate business 

 for the first half of the year, they re- 

 port, is forty per cent above that of the 

 same months last year. R. B. M. 



TOEONTO, ONT. 



Business was quiet last week. It is 

 holiday season and the staffs of the va- 

 rious stores are taking the opportunity 

 to get in a holiday themselves. There 

 is little cut flower trade, but there is 

 some design work. 



The Rcnnie Seed Co. lost its elevator, 

 at Chatham, by fire last week. 



The annual picnic of the Toronto Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Association will 

 be held at the farm of Lady Eaton, at 

 King, August 18. 



Some excellent papers and addresses 

 arc to be given at the annual conven- 

 tion of the Canadian Florists' and Gar-
