Mention The Review when yoo write. 



Jos. -J. Suplee has been appointed 

 manager of L. Mutino's new store at 

 1274 Broadway. 



John Seligman, the wholesaler, and 

 Jos. J. Levy, lieutenant of A. J. Gutt- 

 man, have been enjoying a few days 

 at Niagara Falls. 



Harry Bunyard, with A. T.* Bodding- 

 ton, has returned from his "outing" 

 at the Alexian Bros. Hospital, of Eliza- 

 beth, N. J., quite recovered from a 

 struggle with his old enemy, rheuma- 

 tism, and ready for the strenuous trav- 

 eling which this enterprising house has 

 made necessary if its many customers 

 are to be seen even once a year. The 

 warerooms at 342 West Fourteenth 

 street were crowded to the doors with 

 shipments when I called last week and 

 the deserved success which Mr. Bodding- 

 ton has developed far exceeds expecta- 

 tions. 



C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., is 

 sending fine stock of the Richmond rose 

 to market through Jos. H. Fenrich. 



Now that New York has several whole- 

 sale plant stores, the conveniences for 

 the retailer are wonderfully and 

 promptly helpful and much appreciated. 



A. J. Guttman is much pleased with 

 his change of location to Twenty-eighth 

 street apd his added conveniences and 

 elegant oflSces. He reports a big de- 

 mand for Victory. Twenty-eighth street 

 will soon be a "double decker" at its 

 present rate of progress, a quartette of 

 wholesale florists being already installed 

 on the parlor floors. A few years should 

 see the whole street from Sixth avenue 

 to Broadway entirely devoted to floricul- 

 ture. Concentration would mean proa- 

 penty for all. 



W. F. Sherid^ has returned from his 

 annual visit to his growers up the Hud- 

 son, with glowing reports as to the out- 

 look. 



Brooklyn is reaching out for talent 

 across the bridge and the big depart- 

 ment store of Abraham & Straus has 

 coralled C. H. Grant, formerly with 

 Small & Sons and later in his own store 

 at Forty-third street and Seventh ave- 

 nue. An up-to-date flower department 

 will be managed by Mr. Grant. 



Novelties in carnations are again on 

 deck at John Young's from the Cottage 

 Gardens. 



J. K. Allen has been touring among 

 his many growers and laying founda- 

 tions for a big season. 



Wm. Ford, of Ford Bros., has also 

 been away for his annual pastoral calls 

 and, in fact, every wholesaler is takug 

 advantage of the lull to shake haMs 

 with the men who "toil and spin" in 

 the greenhouses and on whose ability 

 and faithful attention to business rests 

 the whole structure of New York flo- 

 riculture. 



A. J. Fellouris has a big stock of 

 ferns and galax stowed away in prepa- 

 ration for the winter season. He has 

 added to his force lately and is doing 

 a large shipping business. 



Charles Millang's conservatory is 

 filled to the doors with a splendid col- 

 lection of plants of all kinds suitable 

 for the retail florist and his facilities 

 for prompt delivery and the excellence 

 of his stock from the best growers make 

 him a necessity in the wholesale plant 

 trade of the big city. In this depart- 

 ment he has built up a wonderful busi- 

 ness in the last few years. 



This week Wednesday and Thursday 

 comes the American Institute's dahlia 

 show and autumn exhibition and next 

 week the gardeners' societies in every 

 direction will get busy. This one at the 

 American Institute will be "hoary yrith 

 age" for it is the seventy-fourth an- 

 nual. Only a few of us can remember 

 when they began. 



The auction season is in fuU swing 

 and Wm. Elliott & Sons report good 

 stock, good crowds and good business at 

 their new place at 201 Fulton street. 

 They have another big sale announced 

 for next Tuesday, September 26, and the 

 catalogue shows a fine lot of decorative 

 plants, also field-grown carnations, ferns 

 and bulbs. 



Bowe and many of the other promi- 

 nent retailers think business is earlier 

 and more encouraging than it was a year 

 ago. They are very optimistic as to the 

 season's prospects. 



Flatbush bowling is a thing that can 

 be wagered on safely every Thursday 

 evening. I have never known it to fail 

 in fifteen years, and for fifteen years be- 

 fore that they tell me the good work 

 has been recorded. Last Thursday the 

 Dailledouze boys, Riley, Louis Schmutz, 

 John Scott and Clem Wocker disported 

 themselves, making their usual good rec- 

 ords of 150 and over, with the veteran 

 Schmutz absorbing most of the "pots" 

 and showing few evidences of his 60 

 years. J. Austin Shaw. 



Here is another dollar for the Re- 

 view; it is both profitable and interest- 

 ing reading.— E. R. Bess, Canon City, 

 Colo. "
