about everything the florist can demand, 

 except cut flowers, and these are on every 

 side of him. 



Chas. Millang sold every one of his 

 50,000 lilies Easter, and every plant in 

 his conservatory. He has fully recovered 

 his health again, and his "horse" de- 

 partment is a profitable adjunct. 



Jack Gunther had his little joke on 

 one of the big retailers last week, when 

 his colored lieutenant was sent for some 

 flesh-colored sweet peas and Jack sent 

 him a r lot of dark purple ones and 

 claimed he had filled the order accord- 

 ing to sample. 



Jos. Fenrich is doing duty as a juror 

 very philosophically, being such a nov- 

 elty that he enjoys it. 



J. K. Allen was slightly indisposed 

 toward the end of last week. With good 

 weather Sunday he says it would have 

 been the greatest Easter of his nineteen 

 years' experience. 



Carrillo & Baldwin, the new orchid 

 firm, have everything completed at their 

 place in Secaucus, N. J., and are pre- 

 paring for the arrival of a fine ship- 

 ment of Cattleya gigas. They are both 

 experts and the field is wide and the 

 orchid growing constantly in popularity. 



Julius Koehrs, Sr., looks well after his 

 European trip and rejoices in the usual 

 Easter clearing of everything salable in 

 his greenhouses. 



The eighth lecture of the American 



Institute series was given on Wednesday 

 afternoon of this week by George T. 

 Powell on "How to Make and Keep a 

 Lawn." These lectures are not as well 

 attended as they deserve to be. 



The outing committee met last Friday 

 and all arrangements are now complete 

 for the best outing the club has ever 

 enjoyed. Full particulars will be given 

 at the next meeting, May 15, which will 

 also be bedding plant night with some 

 exhibits of novelties on the side. 



Sander & Sons, of London, England, 

 have established their New York office 

 at 235 Broadway. Mr. Mellstrom is in 

 charge. Mr. Sander, Jr., has returned 

 to Europe. 



Boddington's Harrisii are in great de- 

 mand. The quality of the flowers from 

 their "quality brand" this Easter tells 

 the story. They remind their patrons of 

 the early Easter of 1907. 



Everybody in the wholesale section is 

 felicitating genial Phil Breitmeyer, of 

 Detroit, on his appointment as park com- 

 missioner and predicting congressional 

 honors for him in the no distant future. 



Bees are buzzing already in the bon- 

 nets of some of the easterners as to the 

 next president of the S. A. F. The young- 

 er elment in the society holds the balance 

 of power it seems and are surely acquit- 

 ting themselves with honor. Qude, Breit- 

 meyer and Kasting are a trio of presi- 

 dents not soon to be forgotten. On whose 



shoulders will the mantle fallf Some 

 think our own Twenty-eighth street will 

 be able to answer the question. 



J. T. Lovett, of Little Silver, N. J., 

 reports a wonderful call for nursery 

 stock this spring and the busiest season 

 in his career. He has an enormous sup- 

 ply of herbaceous stock for the coming 

 planting and about everything for the 

 garden. 



O. V. Zangen, the seedsman of Hobo- 

 ken, has had a tremendous year and is 

 busy night and day with seed shipments 

 to all parts of the country. 



Bobert Simpson, president of the Hose 

 Society, is instaUing one of Kroeschell 

 Bros.' largest boilers. All the boiler 

 men report business boiling, never bet- 

 ter, and every house devoted to this de- 

 partment of the florists' trade is over- 

 whelmed with orders. Building is pro- 

 gressing on every hand. It is hard to 

 find any progressive florist who is not 

 adding to his glass or contemplating it. 



Brooklyn. 



Flatbush avenue in Brooklyn has sev- 

 eral progressive florists who all under* 

 stand the art of window dressing. 



Charles Koch's fine store is presided 

 over by his handsome daughter and uses 

 all the surplus stock of the greenhouses 

 at Flatbush. 



Wm. H. Foddy has one of the beat 

 places in the city of churches, with con-
