 florist at Fifty-eighth street and Fifth 

 avenue, who has just celebrated his six- 

 tieth birthday, sails June 2 for a five 

 months' holiday in Europe, hunting and 

 traveling near his old home, having 

 earned by thirty-five years of service a 

 well-merited rest. 



Mr. Stumpp, as a fitting close to these 

 years of devotion to his trade affairs, 

 has presented to his son, George E. M. 

 Stumpp, his entire business interests, 

 which include the splendid store on 

 Fifth avenue, one of the finest in this 

 country. The transfer took place May

 wishes of a host of friends and the es- 

 teem and confidence of all who know 

 him. The son, who is 33 years of age, 

 has spent his whole life in the business 

 and is well equipped to carry it forward.

The Market. 



The rainy spell of the last two weeks 

 has depressed business to a marked de- 

 gree. There has been a perceptible fall- 

 ing off in trade, even in funeral work. 

 Business has been good, however, on 

 Saturdays, owing to the special sales. 

 Mothers' day trade and the regular 

 week-end volume of business. In this 

 part of the state we have had so little 

 sunshine that there has been a scarcity 

 of flowers of all kinds. Quantities of 

 roses have been coming from the east 

 and south, but this immediate market 

 has been barren, with the exception of 

 snapdragons, carnations and a few 

 sweet peas and tulips. The great crop 

 of carnations was cut for Mothers' day, 

 so that last week the quality of these 

 flowers was only fair. Eoses of all 

 kinds are good. Sweet peas are get- 

 ting better right along, with an im-
