of smilax, asparagus and large palms 

 and thousands of roses, the services of 

 half a dozen decorators in addition to 

 his own supervision were employed for 

 three days. Mr. Geraghty, formerly of 

 Thos. Young, Jr., force, is now with Mr. 

 Donohoe. 



Various Notes. 



Messrs. Hanft and Bridgman are no 

 longer with Mr. Young. 



The holidays of the lieutenants and 

 book-keepers, ladies and gentlemen, in 

 the wholesale section have begun. To 

 specify would, before the summer is 

 over, include every faithful employee, 

 for the liberal recognition of service 

 by the cut flower merchants is well 

 known. There is no limit to their gener- 

 osity. 



L. C. Bobbink, of Bobbink & Atkins, 

 sailed on Tuesday for his annual Euro- 

 pean trip. 



.Tohn J. Perkins has taken Mr. Schu- 

 mann into partnership, the new firm to 

 be known as Perkins & Schumann, and 

 they are already established at their new 

 address, 50 West Twenty-eighth street. 

 The new ice-box just installed by the 

 firm is a fine one and ample for the 

 anticipated increase in business. 



Siebrecht & Son have moved into the 

 store now being completed at the back 

 of their former "palace," with oflBces 

 on the first floor of the building. Ulti- 

 mately they will move into the big store 

 adjoining their former beautiful estab- 

 lishment. Some conception of its value 

 may be realized when it is known the 

 annual yearly rental to be paid by the 

 trust company which has taken it is $27,- 

 000 a year. Henry Siebrecht, Sr., and 

 Mrs. Siebrecht, are spending part of the 

 summer with relatives in Colorado. 



Bonnet & Blake are now settled in 

 their fine new wholesale store on Lexing- 

 ton street, Brooklyn. They have leased 

 the whole building and now have abun- 

 dant facilities for a business of large 

 proportions. Many of their shippers 

 have been with them since the opening 

 of their old place years ago. 



Hicks & Crawbuck, Inc., have added a 

 fine new outfit to their many conven- 

 iences, a horse and wagon equal to any 

 in the trade. They are preparing for a 

 big supply business as soon as the season 

 opens and have abundance of room. Mr. 

 Crawbuck is spending the summer at his 

 Long Island residence.

A Perfect Garden Scene 



is made in artistic style and true to nature with our ad- 

 justable plant stand on one side displaying a handsome 

 palm; near it a dainty vase of our Pompeian Tone Ware 

 filled with rich colored Sweet Peas; on the other side our 

 handsome Jardiniere with a fern in it; in front one of 

 our new unfinished Crystal Glass Bowls filled with pink 

 pond lilies. 



DON'T FORGET OUR F. F. PINS. 



Mygtlon The Kevlew when yon write 



An enormous quantity of flowers were 

 used at the funeral of the notorious 

 architect, Stanford White, nearly all of 

 the Fifth avenue retailers having large 

 orders and expensive designs. 



The nurserymen and seedsmen who at- 

 tended the annual conventions at Dallas 

 and Toledo are back with reports of 

 cordial welcome and much enjoyment. 

 One of them, C. L. Allen, of Floral 

 Park, has made an extensive visit 

 through several western states, lectur- 

 ing in many places, and since his return 

 has celebrated his seventy-eighth birth- 

 day. He is a fine illustration of the re- 

 sults of right living and bids fair to 

 cross the century. Four generations 

 joined with him in appropriate felicita- 

 tion. 



J. B. Ezeehel, in addition to his 

 wholesale work in New York, is con- 

 ducting a successful retail store at Long 

 Branch, N. J., this summer. 



Some idea of the telephone facilities 

 of the city, which are now used by every 

 progressive florist, may be had when you 



realize that the quarterly directory just 

 delivered to subscribers here filled twen- 

 ty-five freight cars and weighed 400 

 tons. It takes 200 men four weeks to 

 distribute them. Over a quarter million 

 names of New York's progressive men 

 are in the book. Every four months 

 365,000 books are distributed. Some of 

 the florists here do nine-tenths of their 

 retail business by telephone. The new 

 rate of 5 cents a message, now in force, 

 makes the service very popular. 



The boom in Long Island real estate 

 continues and is playing havoc with the 

 market gardeners' profession. If it con- 

 tinues we will have to resort to canned 

 vegetable supply centers, and canned 

 goods of any kind are not very seductive 

 since the Packingtown exposures. Some 

 cities seem to think the inflation in 

 values of land within fifty miles of New 

 York city is artificial. Time will demon- 

 strate the error of this opinion. We will 

 have a population of six millions before 

 1910. Where will they live, if not with- 

 in a radius of twenty-five miles which
