The auction sales of plants, bulbs,

August Millang has purchased the 

 colonial dwelling on Whitestone ave- 

 nue, near Higgins lane, Flushing, L. I., 

 from James A. Gray. The house is on 

 a plot of four and one-half acres. He 

 plans to remodel the building and will 

 take possession upon the completion of 

 the alterations. 



When he issued his new booklet of 

 bouquets, designs, plant arrangements, 

 etc., Max Schling sent copies to the 

 florists with whom he has business 

 relations. Many in the trade, he 3ays, 

 have written appreciatively of the 

 illustrations, which were in color. He 

 adds that although some appear to 

 think the plates were the work of 

 imagination, the fact is that the etch- 

 ings were from the original, "the only 

 difference between the original and the 

 picture being that the artist could not 

 give the color the flowers really pos- 

 sessed. ' '

The Market. 



The thermometer during the last 

 week reached 96 degrees on several oc- 

 casions and the heat, with the con- 

 tinued dry weather, is having a bad 

 effect on outdoor plants. Everything 

 is suffering from the continued drought, 

 and those plants not having artificial 

 watering are faring badly. The warm 

 weather no doubt had its effect on 

 trade in general. The earlier part of 

 the week, business was rather poor, but 

 the latter half was up to the season's 

 average. Memorial day sales were 

 about as usual, but no unusual business 

 was done. There were plenty of out- 

 door cut flowers, which lowered the 

 prices on indoor stock. Peonies, of 

 course, had the call, but other stock 

 sold fairly well. Peonies were quite 



PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY 



A list of PLANT NAMES and the Botanical Terms moat freqtiently met with 

 in articles on trade topics, with the CORRECT PRONUNCIATION for each. 



"The Pronouncing Dictionary is just what I have wanted." 

 "The Pronouncing Dictionary fills a long-felt want." 



" The Pronouncing fiictionary alone was much more value than the sub- 

 scription price of The Review."

plentiful and sold reasonably low. 

 There were large quantities of outdoor 

 roses and Spanish iris on the market, 

 which could be bought at a low figure. 

 Some of the local growers, thinking of 

 the shortage in flowers later, put their 

 entire crop of peonies in cold storage, 

 to be brought out at some future date 

 when peonies will be conspicuous by 

 their absence. Bedding plant sales 

 have decreased considerably, many 

 growers being nearly sold out, and the 

 present supply is hardly as good as that 

 earlier in the season. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Feast & Sons had a fine dis- 

 play of peonies at their store on North 

 Charles street for Memorial day. 



It has been reported that Erdman & 

 Ulrich, of Belair road, disposed of their 

 entire cut of 30,000 peonies on Memo- 

 rial day.

W. Boone met with a painful accident 

 last week. While he was repairing 

 something on his motorcycle, the little 

 finger of his right hand caught between 

 the sprocket wheel and the chain and 

 was almost severed about at the second 

 joint. At the present time it is" doing 

 well, but will be disfigured permanently. 

 Lehr Bros., of Brooklyn, have finished 

 their new 300-foot house and have al- 

 ready partly planted it in roses, which 

 are looking well.
