Scotland and gave his opinions as to the 

 commercial value of dahlias, their ship- 

 ping difficulties and the ordeal they 

 were experiencing in their effort to se- 

 cure general appreciation in the cut 

 flower market. Mr. Peacock gave a very 

 interesting address, dwelling upon the 

 keeping quality of some of his varieties 

 and their wonderful profuseness. 



The event of the evening was the 

 characteristic address of Patrick O'Mara 

 on his western trip. It occupied an hour 

 and held the attention of everyone to 

 its close. 



Various Notes. 



Phil Kessler has removed his head- 

 quarters from "West Twenty-eighth 

 street to the Coogan building, corner 

 of Twenty-sixth street and Sixth ave- 

 nue. 



The general desire of the bowlers 

 seems to be the formation of a club to 

 meet on Tuesday evenings and several 

 of the members of last year's club are 

 now endeavoring to secure alleys that 

 will appeal to the old timers.

senting Kroeschell Bros. Co., is making 

 New York his headquarters. He reports 

 an excellent business. 



Fall fruits and nuts constituted the 

 exhibit and topic of discussion at the 

 first regular meeting of the season of 

 the Horticultural Society of New York 

 on Wednesday at the American Insti- 

 tute. 



New retail stores are rapidly opening 

 in every part of the city and so rapid 

 is the growth of New York there seems 

 to be abundant room for all. It would 

 be hard to conceive of any florist of ex- 

 perience, with a fair capital, failing in 

 such a venture here at the present time. 

 The field is the best on the continent. 

 Some firms have three or four prosper- 

 ous branches. There is no limit to the 

 future of floriculture in New York. 



A meeting of the committee having 

 in charge the employees' big ball in 

 January was held on Monday evenings 

 and the club will meet every Monday 

 evening hereafter. Matters are pro- 

 gressing nicely and the success of the 

 affair seems assured. A multiplicity of 

 extra duties owing to the continued ill- 

 ness of Mr. Ghormley alone prevents Mr. 

 Coyle's acceptance of the honorable of- 

 fice to which he was elected in connec- 

 tion with the enterprise. 



The auctions at Elliott's and Cleary's 

 go merrily on and larger crowds and 

 better prices indicate the growing in- 

 terest. Why the retail florists do not 

 1 wake up to this opportunity it is hard 



to understand. Bargains are numerous. 

 Grand palms and evergreens for decora- 

 tive purposes do not bring half their 

 values. The auction rooms so far see 

 few of the big retailers in comparison 

 with other years. Brooklyn, however, 

 is awake and some of its best florists 

 are weekly buyers. Even the palm pur- 

 chasers seem to be waiting for a freeze- 

 up before stocking their stores with the 

 needful plants. 



Herbert Greensmith, formerly with 

 the Clucas & Boddington Co., will go 

 to a Connecticut nursery firm. 



Ghormley had a shipment of Japan- 

 ese dwarf plants last week that found a 

 ready sale. 



Chas. Millang has just received a 

 large importation from Holland of 

 Aucuba Japonica, boxwood and retino- 

 spora in all sizes and varieties. He has 

 secured a large yard for their care and 

 display close to his wholesale house. 

 He has prepared one of his conserva- 

 tories for the display of his cut chrysan- 

 themums. Mr. Millang has postponed 

 his outing until later in the year and 

 has been unable to get away for his 

 usual trip among his growers on ac- 

 count of the stress of the season's busi- 

 ness. 



Bridgman has advanced to the Thos. 

 Young Co. store on Fifth avenue as 

 manager and Hanft takes Mr. Bridg- 

 man 's place at Twenty-eighth street. 



A visit to John Scott's place in Flat- 

 bush shows an entirely new range of 

 seven houses just completed, aggregat- 

 ing 20,000 square feet, which, with the 

 houses already on the property makes 

 an aggregate of 40,000 feet. Another 

 of 20,000 feet will be erected in the 

 spring of 1906. J. Austin Shaw. 



PETERSBtniG, III. — Thomas Salveson 

 expects to open his new retail store in 

 Springfield about October 1. 



Lebanon, Ind. — Paul O. Tauer has 

 two houses of roses in especially fine 

 condition and one exceptionally good 

 house of carnations. 



CoFTEYviLLE, Ka.n. — T. L. Eagle is 

 doubling the size of his greenhouses be- 

 cause of the increasing demand for cut 

 flowers and lettuce.
