Mf lit Ion The Review wben you write. 



day in Bay Kidge, Brooklyn, apparently 

 by a trolley, but many things indicate 

 a deliberate murder, the body being 

 placed on the track to obliterate evi- 

 dence of tfae crime. 



Jos. Fasinella, of A. J. Guttman's 

 staff, was married on Sunday to Miss 

 Terangelo, of this city. 



C. H. Grant, who was entrusted with 

 the responsibility of opening a flower 

 store at Long Branch for A. Hanig, of 

 Brooklyn, is missing. As he had con- 

 siderable money when he left the city, 

 foul play has been suggested. 



The wonderful Belmont twenty-story 

 hotel has been made a bower by Ijcikens 

 with great palms, bay trees and gigantic 

 ficus. It is the most complete and in- 

 teresting hostelry from top to bottom in 

 this country. , 



Through Broker Hart a contract for a 

 term of years has been made whereby 

 Geo. Cotsonas & Co. come into possession 

 of the fine premises at 50 West Twenty- 

 eighth street, the first and second floors 

 being controlled by the firm. In the 

 upper floor a first-class restaurant will 

 be conducted. The street floor will be 

 used for headquarters for the galax and 

 fern business, and a portion of the floor, 

 it is understood, will be sub-let to one 

 of the wholesale cut flower men who has 

 long been in the market for a Twenty- 

 eighth street location. 



Henry Crawbuck, of Brooklyn, pro- 



?rietor of the supply establishment on 

 earl street, is summering at his home 

 in Chatham, N. J,, where he has a five- 

 acre place devoted to growing nursery 

 stock. He comes to Brooklyn daily, as 

 usual. 



The Cut Flower Exchange reported no 



pickled stock sent in for Decoration day. 

 Pickling cut flowers, like canned hogs 

 and chickens, has become unpopular. A 

 good sweeping exposure of the names of 

 the picklers would have stopped it years 

 ago. I'll try and send the name of 

 every grower who sends in a pickled rose 

 next Christmas. * 



Smith's stock of candytuft and stocks 

 on the Exchange floor couldn't be ex- 

 celled. 



Bonnot Bros, did a lot of shipping for 

 the holiday, and the day before, among 

 other stock handled over 6,000 of the 

 Dorrance roses. 



Frank Millang reports the best 

 Decoration day business in his long 

 career. Mr. Millang has just purchased 

 a summer home near Lake Mahopac, 

 Westchester county, with eighty acres of 

 fine land, only forty miles from the 

 city, where he is now located with hia 

 family. 



Moore, Hentz & Nash are proud of 

 the Brides and Maids sent daily by J. 

 T. Wagner, of Chatham, one of their 

 champion growers. Sidney Nash, son of 

 John Nash, of this firm, has been dis- 

 tinguishing himself in aquatic contests. 



A. L. Young is located for the summer 

 at Suffrens, N. Y., in Bockland county. 



A, M. Henshaw is much pleased with 

 his venture onto the wholesale sea and 

 maintains a reputation for fine roses, 

 many of them from his own greenhouses. 



Ford Bros.' big ice-box had a wonder- 

 ful display of carnations Monday, some 

 10.000 of 'them. 



Last week I gave a brief description 

 of the new floating palace, the Kaiserin 

 Auguste Victoria, in which suites cost 

 from $3,000 down, and said facetiously 



that ' ' many a florist will make his 

 honeymoon trip on the boat." I meant 

 to include all departments of the trade, 

 and I am sure you will admit I spoke 

 prophetically, for I am advised M. Kice 

 and his bride are due June 15, return- 

 ing on this steamer from their wedding 

 trip to Europe. As B. Eschner says, 

 "Now Avill you be good I" 



Carrillo & Baldwin, at Secaucus, report 

 a pleasant incident which happened a 

 few d.iys ago. They unpacked an im- 

 portation of Cattleya labiata and put 

 them out on the benches. They noticed 

 a bird flying about for several days and 

 after a while discovered that a sparrow 

 had taken possession of a clump of roots, 

 making its nest far down in the clump. 

 When found, there were four eggs, and 

 now there are four little birds. Quite a 

 number of orchid men have seen it and 

 say they never heard of such an occur- 

 rence. 



Bowlins. 



Flatbush bowlers did some excellent 

 practice work for Dayton last Thursday. 

 Louis Schmutz, the veteran, absorbed the 

 kitty with a score of 212. The scores of 

 two games were: 



Schmutz 142 212 



Scott 181 lis 



Ueley 145 131 



Kemper 127 111 



Wocker 128 116 



r. Dallledouze 159 137 



11. Dallledouze 146 130 



Capt. Lang, of New York, won as 

 first prize at the final games of his club 

 in New York last week, against a score 

 of competitors, a 40-dollar emblem, of 

 which he is justly proud. 



J. Austin Shaw.
