Various Notes. 



The trade extends sincere sympathy to 

 C. W. Ward in the loss of his mother, 

 near Pontiac, Mich., on April 21. 



Samuel Kilpatrick, for ten years book- 

 keeper for Walter Sheridan, has formed 

 a partnership with Emile Eunge in the 

 real estate and insurance business at 

 Flushing, L. I., and 149 Broadway, New 

 York city. Mr. Sheridan's testimony 

 is one any man may be proud of. In the 

 ten years not once has he had occasion 

 to criticise adversely the work of Mr. 

 Kilpatrick. He was a great favorite 

 and will be missed severely. 



L. J. Kreshover has removed to 106 

 West Twenty-sixth street. 



Fleischman has fully recovered from 

 an operation for appendicitis and is back 

 at his desk after only ten days' hospital 

 experience. 



Wednesday and Thursday of this week 

 the annual exhibition of the New York 

 Horticultural Society takes place in the 

 Bronx Park Botanic Gardens. 



Next Monday the New York Florists' 

 Club's monthly meeting takes place at 

 7:30 p. m. A fine exhibit and a large 

 attendance are anticipated. 



The Kervan Co. has a novelty for 

 florists in mounted heads of foxes, coons 

 and fawns, from Florida. 



Eeed & Keller's latest novelty is a 

 cycas leaf-holder, which is very useful. 

 A patent has been applied for. They 

 also have a double-angle pot-holder, which 



will be very helpful in decorations. Their 

 new building next door is almost ready 

 for occupancy. 



Seligman and Levy make a strong 

 team, and rapidly are building an exten- 

 sive business. 



It is the year for young men in flori- 

 culture. Kumors are heard of another 

 combination, and yet there is room. Be- 

 tween marriages and partnerships and 

 enterprises, these be strenuous days in 

 the wholesale district. 



John B. Nugent 's only sister died 

 April 29 and was buried May 1. Many 

 beautiful floral tributes from his friends 

 in the trade showed their universal sym- 

 pathy. 



S. Eodh reports the past year the best 

 in his experience. Easter's call for rib- 

 bons was greater than ever. His head- 

 quarters on West Twenty-eighth street 

 are very conveniently located. 



Walter Sheridan is convalescing from 

 a severe attack of the grip and is back 

 at headquarters again. 



Alex. Guttman cables his safe arrival 

 in Europe after a pleasant voyage. 



LeMoult, the veteran of the Bowery, 

 directly opposite the approach to the new 

 Williamsburg bridge, will have to vacate 

 the old store before long. After a stay 

 there of a generation a street is to be 

 opened directly through his premises. He 

 reports thirty-five per cent more business 

 this year than in the best in his long 

 career. 



Not far away is the extensive estab- 

 lishment of Jolin J. Foley, who has his 

 own greenhouses at Madison. His album 

 of floral designs is having a steady sale. 



Von Praag, on Broadway, has just 



completed the outdoor decoration of the 

 American Garden, a summer resort on 

 Lennox avenue and One Hundred and 

 Sixteenth street, and has a unique design 

 in sod and stone in front of his store, 

 with a border of pansies, the name be- 

 ing worked out in stone on the grass 

 background, some of Ed Ladiges' handi- 

 work. 



0. V. Zangen has on exhibition in the 

 fine store of M. Hendberg, Hoboken, a 

 splendid specimen of Whitmani fern in 

 a 10-inch pot with a spread of three to 

 four feet. For thirty years Mr. Hend- 

 berg has occupied this store. Mr. Zan- 

 gen has added this fern to his other in- 

 terests and is selling a large number of 

 this novelty. 



B. J. Ezechel has his card out as whole- 

 sale florist with headquarters at 52 West 

 Twenty-ninth street. 



M. Bowe's windows were ablaze with 

 a fine display of Cattleya Mossiee Mon- 

 day evening that were very superior and 

 effective. Business continues good here 

 all the time and the European trip for 

 the present is postponed. 



Almost all the tenants in the Metro- 

 politan hotel, Broadway, have removed 

 except Thorley, who still holds the fort. 

 As fine a vase of white chrysanthemums 

 as ever graced any window in the height 

 of the November season attracted much 

 notice in his window on Monday evening. 



H. E. Froment is handling an enor- 

 mous quantity of roses daily. One of his 

 prominent growers is building a house 

 for American Beauties 65x250, so there 

 will be no undersupply here next season. 



A. J. Fellouris next week will move 

 into his new store on Twenty-eighth
