ness of the big city. ' ' Down the line * ' 

 is no misnomer. Up and down they go, 

 seeking an outlet for their stock and 

 using all "the tricks of the trade" to 

 maintain their custom and hold their 

 patrons.. Later the balance of the ship- 

 ments arrive at the wholesale houses. 



Variott* Notes. 



Many of the great lights of horticul- 

 ture are expected here this week. Ex- 

 President Breitmeyer's wireless message 

 announced his coming Sunday, and here 

 he is. The big show at Macy's prom- 

 ises heavily. Everybody is coming to see 

 it. 



All the flower shows around New York 

 are breaking records. Down at Madison 

 last Friday I saw one of the most per- 

 fect exhibitions ever set up. C. H. Totty 

 had many of his new varieties on ex- 

 hibition, some of which must prove uni- 

 versally popular. His Kichmond roses 

 were the best we have seen in the east. 

 He has the largest stock of any of the 

 growers in this section. Joseph Fenrich 

 handles the New York shipments from 

 Mr. Totty 's greenhouses. Wm. G. 

 Badgeley, one of A. J. Guttman's ship- 



pers, secured first prize for his Maids, 

 an honor the young gentleman may well 

 be proud of. 



Harry May and Miss May, of Summit, 

 were among the visitors and with them 

 were Joseph HUl and his bride, of Rich- 

 mond, Ind., son of Gurney HiU and a 

 chip off the old block for geniality and 

 energy. 



Chas. W. See, bookkeeper for a decade 

 with Siebrecht & Son, with his brother, 

 were owners of the "Tom Paine" farm 

 near New Bochelle until last week, when 

 a syndicate bought the 115 acres for 

 $140,000. Mr. See will retain the old 

 homestead. 



Wertheimber & Co., the importers of 

 Japanese goods for florists, have some 

 fine novelties this year^ Christmas bells 

 being a specialty. 



The Florists' Board of Trade grows 

 in popularity. Gradually names are 

 added in their quarterly issues, until now 

 the book has quadrupled in size. The 

 management appears well pleased with 

 the progress made. 



SchloBS Bros, have some great novel- 

 ties in red and green rfbbons for Christ- 

 mas. They are the originators of 



numerous novelties that have appealed 

 to the artistic florists of the country. 

 Their trade is growing constantly. 



McMillan & Son, of Hudson Heights, 

 N. J., are shipping an average of 2,000 

 Ivory, pink and white, daily to the New 

 York market, splendid stock which Ford 

 Bros, find no difficulty in distributing. 

 It is hard to find a more generally popu- 

 lar variety, even now, than the old Ivory 

 that has held its place for half a score of 

 years. 



Chas. Schenck, of Traendly & Schenck, 

 discovered a thief in the store one night 

 last week and chased him down the 

 street and into the arms of Bob Cum- • 

 mings, the robust actor. The thief 

 proved to be a former employee who had 

 retained a key and was going through 

 the place each Saturday night. He was 

 let off with a night in the cooler. The 

 surplus is now growing again. 



Robert Craig was in town last week, 

 growing young again. 



That innovation of a flower store on 

 the big steamship Amerika bids fair to 

 have a following, and doubtless before 

 long every large steamer will be consid- 

 ered old fashioned without this con- 

 venience. 



Hardy roses, evergreens and other nur- 

 sery importations are appearing at the 

 auction rooms and good crowds and 

 prices encourage the sweet-voiced per- 

 suaders in their strenuous work. 



H. H. Berger & Co. report by far the 

 best season in their history. They are 

 still very busy. The prospect for Japan- 

 ese stock next year is higher prices. 



The exhibition of the New Jersey 

 Floricultural Society took place Monday 

 and Tuesday of this week and was a fine 

 success. Mr. Bennett, the secretary of 

 the society, was married a week ago to 

 Miss Maud Williams. 



November 13, the New York club will 

 hold its November meeting at the Grand 

 Opera House and as this is chrysanthe- 

 mum night and the last fioricultural 

 night of the year's exhibitions. Presi- 

 dent Traendly requests the club members 

 to turn out 200 strong. The caterer will 

 "cate" more elaborately than usual and 

 the official guidance for 1906 will be de- 

 termined. J. Austin Shaw.
