f'xcessive, but by means of severe cuts 

 and concessions, the bulk of the ship- 

 ments now are cleanly disposed of. 

 Bulbous "stock is very abundant. A great 

 many Harrisii are with the wholesalers 

 and as low as $5 per hundred was ac- 

 cepted for the week's surplus. The or- 

 chid shipments are lessening and prices 

 hardening. 



Varioui Notes. 



McManus is handling Crisis, the fine 

 red carnation from J. L. Dillon, of 

 Bloomsburg, Pa. 



Fenrich is receiving an average of 

 1,000 bunches of sweet peas daily, of 

 splendid quality. Mr. Fenrich has just 

 recovered from a severe attack of 



grippe. Mr. Hurrell, of Summit, is the 

 latest battler with the disease. Few of 

 the wholesalers have escaped. 



John Scott has finished serving his 

 country as a juryman and is again de- 

 voting his energies to the interests of 

 Scottii to meet the demand for which, 

 new houses are to be constructed this 

 spring. 



Young & Nugent are handling large 

 quantities of gardenias, samples of which 

 were seen at the last club meeting. 



N. Lecakes has started for an impor- 

 tant visit to Greece, to be absent until 

 the first of May. John A. Foley will 

 have entire charge of his business inter- 

 ests until his return. 



Herman Maenner, of Bayside, had an 



encounter with a trolley car last week 

 that laid him on the shelf a few days. 



The busy season down town and 

 among the seedhouses is already in 

 evidence. The early demand through 

 catalogues is unprecedented. H. H. Ber- 

 ger & Co. announce a rapidly increasing 

 trade since the incorporation of their 

 business, the outlook exceeding any- 

 thing at this date in their history. B. 

 Suzuki is back from Japan, with inter- 

 esting stories of the war. Boddington 

 in the east and Bunyard in the west are 

 meeting with great success, their seed 

 business especially booming "far beyond 

 expectations," as Mr. Begbie expresses 

 it. 



A. L. Miller, of Brooklyn, is having 

 two houses 16x100 buUt this spring by 

 Lord & Burnham Co. at his Jamaica 

 place, where he has also thirteen acres 

 devoted to the nursery business. His 

 importations of European stock this sea- 

 son will be heavy. He is arranging for 

 a large stock of his new dahlia, Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria, for which a demand is 

 already in evidence. 



W. C. Krick, the inventor and manu- 

 facturer, is now well established in his 

 new quarters at 1164 Greene avenue, 

 Brooklyn. He numbers among his pa- 

 trons all the great supply houses of the 

 country. His new factoTy has all the 

 modem improvements.
