midsummer conditions in the cut flower

liarket since the end of June; schools 



Ire closed, society is in Europe, or on 



Ts way there, or at the seashore, or the 



fountain resorts of the Catskills and 



Idirondacks; even the weddings are 



tew and far between; "nothing doing"

"WHO'S WHO-AND WHY" 



MES. FANNY WAEENDORFF. I 



MES. FANNY WAEENDORFF, of New York city, will celebrate her seventy- 

 seventh birthday in September. "When asked to state her age a few days ago, 

 she responded, "I am still 18." In view of her energy, her love for her business 

 and her continuous interest in its progress, the claim rests upon a good foundation. 

 Her present headquarters and home are in the Ansonia, one of the leading family 

 hotels of New York, and there are few stores in the world that can compare withi 

 her establishment there, the Ansonia Flower Shop. Mrs. Warendorff has long beem 

 called "the mother of florists," and she hag the honor of furnishing six stalwart 

 sons to the florists' industry, in its retail department. Her first store was at 115 

 Fourteenth street, east, next door to Steinway hall. From Fourteenth street she 

 moved to Broadway, near Twenty-eighth street, where Alex. Warendorff bow 

 presides. Her other sons have charge of stores at the following locations: In 

 the Empire building, 71 Broadway; on Madison avenue, near Fifty-ninth street; i» 

 the Liberty building, at Liberty and Nassau streets, and in the Ansonia hoteL 

 Herman Warendorff is manager of the combined industries. Mrs. Warendorff'* 

 grandsoif, a son of Joseph Fleischman, is at the head of the Fleischman store, at 

 the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. Mrs. Warendorff is univer- 

 sally respected, in the trade and out of it. It is hard to realize that this remark- 

 able woman has passed the "three score and ten" limit, for she is still as active, 

 alert and artistic as many a lady of half her age. She left for the White Moun- 

 tains, New Hampshire, Jurite 30, to remain there till September. 



shipments of lilies continue daily; $20 

 per thousand would buy the best of 

 them July 5. Valley also is down, little 

 of it bringing over $2 per hundred. The 

 usual variety of summer flowers con- 

 tinues and much of this is never sold 

 at any price. Only a part of the sweet 

 peas sent in last week were sold and 

 the discard has been getting more than 

 its legitimate share. The supply of 

 orchids continues abundant; 35 cents 

 seems to be the limit for th^ finest of 

 the gigas. ,Much of the stock sells be- 

 low this and the lower grades can be 

 purchased at $15 to $20 per hundred. 

 The demand has shrunk to the lowest 

 of the year to date. 



Various Notes. 



A goodly party will go to Boston on 

 the boat Friday evening, July 11, to 

 attend the meetings of the American 



Sweet Pea Society and the National 

 Association of Gardeners. 



Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, are send- 

 ing a specially fine lot of orchids to 

 market at present. They sell their cut 

 through George C. Siebrecht. 



John Young leaves this week for 

 Minneapolis, to remain there until the 

 close of the S. A. F. convention. 



L, W. Kervan is now at his home, 

 fully restored to health, after his four 

 weeks' hospital experience. 



Eussin & Hanfiin? took complete pos- 

 session of their new store on West 

 Twenty-eighth street July 1 and will 

 devo e the next two months to neces- 

 sary changes, removing their entire 

 business to its permanent home Septem- 

 ber 1. Mr. Hanfling returns from Eu- 

 rope the last week in July. 



Donald Shagnon, aged 20 years, for- 

 merly an employee of the Kervan Co.
