NOVELTIES 



THAT ARE NOVELTIES 



We have!8hown you some of our novelties; 

 we have told you about others. Still others we 

 will tell you about, but what we most want is to 

 have you come and see them — seeing is believing. 



Come right here, see the immense truck loads of cases coming from the steam- 

 ers, see the shelves on shelves and story after story filled with Florists' Sup- 

 plies, see the ingeniously contrived novelties and all the best of the staples, and 

 see the dispatch with which the orders are going out, their size and their 

 numbers. Will you come?

cents. Oncidiums are here and as 

 popular as ever. Prices are fairly 

 steady on lilies and valley at last 

 week's quotations. For the poorer 

 j-rades of gladioli and asters there is 

 no demand. The windows are brilliant 

 with tritomas, cosmos and paniculata. 

 Ketailers seem hopeful and enterpris- 

 ing. All the stores are newly deco- 

 rated and the general tone as to the 

 coming season is optimistic. 



At Newport the society people have 

 been continuous in their decorative 

 floral engagements, and the New York 

 branches have had no cause to com- 

 plain. 



Various Notes. 



Monday, September 8, the New York 

 Florists' Club opens the season at its 

 rooms in the Grand Opera House, on 

 West Twenty-third street. President 

 Siebrecht requests a large attendance, 

 and there will be many interesting 

 addresses by those who attended the 

 convention. 



Secretary Young is home again and 

 already enthusiastic about the coming 

 spring flower show in New York. He 

 had ^ delightful stay in Minneapolis 

 and evidently cannot say too much in 

 acknowledgment of the fine support 

 and continuous courtesy of the florists 

 of the Twin Cities. 



Dreyer Bros., of Elmhurst, have 

 now added to their fine plant the ten 

 large greenhouses and four and one-half 

 acres of the Hinode Floral Co., of 

 Whitestone, L. I. At Elmhurst the firm 

 has sixteen houses, devoted to dwarf 

 Bostons and Scottii ferns, 50,000 table 

 ferns, kentias, araucarias, cyclamens, 

 ficus, mums, and 1,000 pot roses. After 

 the present season the Hinode property

will be used entirely for plants. Among 

 the stock purchased with the place 

 are many fine dwarf Bostons, hardy 

 roses and poinsettias. These young 

 men are energetic, experienced and 

 popular in the trade, and their success 

 is assured. 



The large greenhouse plant of Anton 

 Schultheis, at College Point, is well 

 worth a visit now. An interesting fea- 

 ture is the Skinner system of watering, 

 which he has installed in all his green- 

 houses. He is greatly pleased with it. 

 It is economical and helpful in every 

 way. There is no end to the plants in 

 this establishment. Ivory mums in 

 pots are nearly ready for distribution. 

 Whitmani and Boston ferns, and also 

 Piersoni and Scottii, are in good sup- 

 ply. Boses in pots are being grown in 

 increased quantity. There are five 

 houses of cyclamens, 10,000 poinsettias, 

 ardisias and several houses of orchids! 

 Everything is in good condition and 

 will be ready for the fall business. 



Sydney B. Wertheimer has returned 

 from a western trip which included the 

 convention and is highly pleased with 

 general conditions in the trade in that 

 section. 



The New York Florists' Supply Co., 

 organized to do a general business in 

 florists' supplies, has been licensed to 

 incorporate with $50,000 capital stock.
