ness. It turned out to be Alex. Guttman 's 

 charger and not the horse that carried 

 the knight errant over on Fifth avenue, 

 as some suggested. 



The superintendent ot the Lawrence 

 Estate, at Elmhurst, a Mr. Burkhard, 

 married his employer last week and with 

 her a half million dollars. This should 

 be an encouragement to all superintend- 

 ents, head gardeners and foremen every- 

 where. Mr. Burkhard was a widower and 

 Miss Lawrence a spinster of 50 years. 

 Everything comes to him who waits. We 

 congratulate the profession. 



Some great balls and pubUc decora- 

 tions are close at hand. Mrs. Astor's 

 will be, as usual, the society event of the 

 year; 1,200 invitations, the largest ever 

 given in New York. The Arion is close 

 at hand also. The opera season is at its 



height. The coming January will be the 

 most brilliant month old New York has 

 ever seen. March 4 Is very near. There 

 will be something doing every day and 

 night until the great inaugural ball at 

 WasMngton. 



Next week, Monday, January 9, the 

 first of the New York Florists' Club's 

 meetings for 1905 takes place. It will 

 be a great send-off and the president will 

 outline the policy whereby he will beat 

 his own record. There will be many fea- 

 tures of interest. Don't miss it. 



Alex. Westwood, at one time in the 

 retail florist business on Columbus ave- 

 nue, is now with J. H. Small's Sons, 

 Broadway, and was transferred to their 

 "Washington store for the holidays. 



Julius Roehrs, Sr., who has been very 

 ill at his home with bronchial pneumonia, 



is now considered out of danger. 



Here 's wishing you a Happy and Pros- 

 perous New Year. J. Austin Shaw. 



Newburg, N. Y. — The Yuess Gardens 

 Co. has been incorporated with $20,000 

 capital stock, by Robert H. Cathcart, 

 H. L. Force and 0. J. Cathcart. 



Kalamazoo, Mich. — J. H. Williams i» 

 now in charge of the greenhouses of the 

 Dunkley Floral Co., succeeding M. F» 

 Kyle, who has retired from active work. 



Paterson, N. J. — Ed. Sceery puts up 

 some very fine window displays. For 

 Christmas he had a rustic mill scene and 

 across a valley a church in which a wed- 

 ding was in progress. It attracted much 

 attention.
