Yours respectfully, 



Mention The Review when you write. 



A Visit to Childs'. 



No more interesting nme of tue year 

 than now, when all nature is bursting 

 into bud, blossom and song, can be chosen 

 for a visit to Floral Park, where, under 

 the guidance of Adolph Jaenicke, the su- 

 perintelident of the greenhouse depart- 

 ment, JdWn Lewis Childs' beautiful place 

 is seen. This is a center of specialties. 

 From this center are disseminatea yeariy 

 40,000 gloxinias, and an equal number 

 of tuberous begonias. Seedling gerani- 

 ums without limit as to quantity are 

 named after states: the best white, Penn- 

 sylvania; the best orange. New York; 

 the best scarlet, Ohio, and so on. Other 

 specialties are xSegonia Rex seedlings; 

 the new rose pink cactus, German Em- 

 press; fancy caladiums, of which 10,000 

 are propagated yearly; a large collec- 

 tion of variegated foliage plants; hot- 

 house grapes in pots, eighteen months old 

 in fruit; the scarlet daisy, the South 

 African Gerbera Jamesonii, now bloom- 

 ing in the open garden and perfectly 

 hardy; fifty varieties of lilacs in twenty 

 colors; 10,000 cyclamens in ten varieties; 

 calla lilies in fiiieen varieties — yellow, 

 white and pink; a collection of rare 

 palms, and the Phoenix Eoebelenii, from 

 Hindu-China, of which Mr. Childs has 

 150,000 seeulings and plants in all sizes, 

 the most popular palm introduction of 

 the new century. 



Mr. Jaenicke has been with Mr. Childs 

 for ten years and before coming to this 



country was with Haage & Schmidt for 

 seven years at Erfurt, Germany. His 

 ability as an expert plantsman is every- 

 where conceded. Floral Park has be- 

 come a favorite suburb of New York and 

 property is fast rising in vt^pe. There 

 is no more charming suburban section 

 near the metropolis. 



Various Notes. 



Madison furnished an unfortunate fire 

 in the burning of the house and green- 

 houses of John Eoper last week. Mr. 

 Roper narrowly escaped with hia life. 



W. G. Badgley, of Chatham, N. Y., 

 the rose grower, has leased the Ryan 

 greenhouses in that town, a plant double 

 the size of his own, and will devote the 

 houses to Bride, Maid and Kate Moulton. 

 His stock is handled by A. J. Guttman, 

 who returned Saturday morning from 

 his month's trip abroad. It is reported 

 that another of the Twenty-eighth street 

 wholesalers will make a trip to the 

 Orient this summer and one will visit 

 shortly at Mt. Clemens, Mich. Most 

 of these holidays will be postponed until 

 after the club's outing, July 2, tickets 

 for which are selling rapidly. 



Max Limprecht is still very ill at his 

 home in Jersey. His store on West Thir- 

 tieth street, last week destroyed by fire, 

 is to be rebuilt and modernized so when 

 complete the Limprecht Co. will be in 

 line with the best of the supply centers 

 in New York. 



A. J. Fellouris moves to his new place 

 at 52 West Twenty-eighth street this 

 week. A. M. Henshaw, the new whole- 

 saler, will also have his headquarters at 

 this address and opened last Saturday 

 with encouraging patronage. The young- 

 er generation of wholesalers is much in 

 evidence and rumor has several more 

 booked for similar enterprises in Septem- 

 ber. It is a great city and there is al- 

 ways room for good men at the top. 

 Mr. Henshaw has been for some time 

 with A. L. Young & Co. 



On Saturday evening the largest 

 steamship in the world, and the most 

 luxurious of floating palaces, arrived at 

 New York, the Kaiserin Auguste Vic- 

 toria. It seems impossible ever to con- 

 struct anything more perfect and won- 

 derful in its line. On the topmost deck 

 is a great palm garden enclosed in glass. 

 A round glass cupola in the ceiling floods 

 it with light. The walls are covered with 

 vines. A landscape of castles and foun- 

 tains forms an effective background. 

 There is a florists' shop, too, perfect in 

 its appointments, where orders for each 

 day of the voyage may be left and a 

 supply of fresh flowers is always avail- 

 able. Suites cost from $3,000 down. 

 That's nothing. Many a florist will make 

 his honeymoon trip on the big boat if 

 the days of prosperity continue. Several 

 wholesalers and sons of wholesalers are 

 dreaming about it now.
