 tained a party of eight leading carna- 

 tion growers at Cottage Gardens. 

 Among them were Robert Craig, Mr. 

 Pierson, M. A. Patten and Peter 

 Pisher. A visit was paid to some of 

 the neighboring establishments. 



The Dutchess County Violet Co. has 

 removed its headquarters to 115 West 

 Thirtieth street. C. A. Plumb is in 

 charge. 



John Baumann, for twenty years in 

 the florists' business, died at Middle 

 Village, L. I., the first of the year after 

 a long illness. He was highly esteemed 

 and a prominent member of one of the 

 ■oldest German singing societies, the 

 Schwabische Sangerbiind. 



In liis eighty-seventh year, on Janu- 

 ary 4, Samuel B. Parsons, Sr., died at 

 his Flushing home, of paralysis after 

 a lingering illness. He was universally 

 esteemed and beloved by all who knew 

 him. He was one of America's pio- 

 neers in the nursery business and one 

 of the best known and most thoroughly 

 efficient. His son, S. B. Parsons, Jr., 

 is superintendent of the Xew York 

 fity parks. 



Bridget Scanlon, the wife of James 

 .\Iallon, one of tlie best known Horists of 



Brooklyn, died January 4 at her home, 

 306 State street, of a complication of 

 diseases, after an illness of four months. 

 Mrs. Mallon was born in County Clare, 

 Ireland, about seventy years ago, and had 

 lived in Brooklyn for fifty-seven years. 

 Her husband survives her with four chil- 

 dren, all well known in Brooklyn. 



Lion & Co., the new ribbon house, has 

 located at 114 to 116 Spring street, in 

 fine offices on the first floor, ifi this, one 

 of the busiest wholesale sections of the 

 big city. Mr. Lion was a member of the 

 old firm of Lion & Wertheimer, now 

 Wertheimer Bros. Lion & Co. will make 

 a specialty of florists ' ribbons. 



The big ball of the wholesalers' em- 

 l)loyees takes place Saturday evening, 

 as already announced. It is an assured 

 success, many hundreds of tickets hav- 

 ing been sold and everybody is going. 

 The boys have gone to great expense and 

 shown much harmonious enterprise in 

 pushing the event to a satisfactory con- 

 summ;)tion. It will be a gala night and 

 deserves the patronage of every florist in 

 the city. 



Bowling. 



The bowling club has not recovered 

 from the all-night holiday effort of most 



of its members and the attendance was 

 limited. Next Tuesday practice begins 

 in earnest and all intending to belong 

 are urged to be present at the election 

 of the year's officers, captain, etc. The 

 active membership will total over twenty.
