 were also mentioned, while Mr. Wheeler 

 thought from the Kentucky standpoint 

 the mint carried off the palm. 



Messrs. Duckham and Totty were up

Various Notes. 



The Horticultural Society of New 

 York holds its fifth annual exhibition 

 this week at Bronx park and it is to 

 be hoped a better attendance than usual 

 may be seen. The exhibits will be in 

 charge of Head Gardener Skene, which 

 guarantees the best of care for the 

 •xhibitors. The usual prize for the 

 year's best horticultural novelty has been 

 left out of the schedule this year. 



The boom in real estate in the suburbd 

 of New York is large enough to gladden 

 many a florist's heart these days. Mr. 

 Dreyer was relieved of much of his real 

 estate by the Pennsylvania B. B. to 

 his advantage some time ago and its lat- 

 est reaching out has included the prop- 

 erty of Charles Smith and Victor Dorval. 

 C. W. Ward is now within a stone's 

 throw of the greatest racing park in 

 the world. The florists who hold on will 

 walk on velvet before many years. 

 Away down on the outskirts of Flat- 

 bush, Jerome Suydam, the camationist, 

 is cutting his land into building lots 

 and disposing of his greenhouses. 



A week ago we "speeded the parting 

 guest," E. G. Hill, of Richmond, on his 

 way to Europe, intending to be back in 

 time for the Washington convention. 



Maltus & Ware, the custom house 

 brokers, headquarters for many of the 

 foreign bulb drummers, have removed to 

 14 Stone street. 



A call at the Julius Koehrs Co. 's palm 

 and orchid factory at Carlton Hill last 

 week revealed an enormous sea of bay 

 trees in every size and shape. The bay 

 must be growing popular, for Mr. 

 Boehrs tells me the advance orders will 

 take many and that not one of them 



will be left before the summer passes. 

 A Cattleya Mossise with nearly 100 

 blooms is probably the finest specimen 

 of this plant in this country. The 

 Boehrs Co. has had a wonderful sea- 

 son. 



If there is a busier nursery in the 

 neighborhood of New York than Bob- 

 bink & Atkins', at Butherford, I have 

 not seen it. Their 100 acres are but the 

 nucleus of what this firm will accom- 

 plish in due time. Both are young men, 

 tireless in their devotion to the great 

 work they have set out to accomplish. 

 Their importations of evergreens and 

 bay trees are reckoned not by car-loads, 

 but trains this season. 



Young & Nugent will fit up the first 

 floor of their property on Twenty-eighth 

 street as a palm room this week, which 

 wUl make their retail department very 

 complete and convenient. 



A property on Twenty-eighth street, 

 suitable for the New York Florists' 

 Club's home for all time, is in the mar- 

 ket and with a united effort on the part 

 of its members can be secured. 



The exodus to Newport has begun, 

 Hodgson, Siebrecht &> Son, Wadley & 

 Smythe and Leikens have already sent 

 on their forerunners to get everything 

 in readiness for an anticipated busy sea- 

 son. In the absence of Mr. and Mrs. 

 Leikens, Frank Good will have charge 

 of the New York store. 



Bowe had a big wedding at Summit 

 last week and one at the National Art 

 Club's rooms. Wild smilax with wis- 

 taria, apple and cherry blossoms and 

 white flowering dogwood were exten- 

 sively used with many lilies. Mr. Bowe 

 is the first florist to advertise extensive- 

 ly in the street cars of New York. 



The early closing movement is on, 

 both in the wholesale and retail stores, 

 the former shutting up shop at 6 and 

 the latter at 8 p. m. Alex McConnell 

 was the first to change from 9 p. m., the 

 ofScial hour all winter, with many a 

 necessary hold-over till the wee sma'

Tuesday of this week the Torrey Bo- 

 tanical Club met at the Botanical Gar- 

 den and "Violets" was the topic of 

 consideration. Dr. Britton opened the 

 discussion, which was very interesting. 



The next Florists' Club meeting, in 

 June, will be a special peony and pos- 

 sibly ladies' night and will precede the 

 yearly outing, which now promises to be 

 a great success. Tickets may now be
