H. BAYERSDORFER & CO., 56 N. 4th St., PHIUIDELPHIA, PA. 



Mention The llevlew when you write. 



Some months ago he disposed of bis 

 business to Wernz & Koehne, who are 

 conducting it successfully at the same 

 address. Mr. Christianson was much 

 esteemed by all who knew him, and his 

 career was an honorable and successful 

 one. 



Traendly & Schenck's windows lately 

 have been made attractive by a fine 

 display of Farleyense ferns in pots, 

 which sold rapidly. 



The auction season opened at Elliott's 

 on Tuesday of this week, with a fine 

 stock of palms and plants for the re- 

 tail florists. 



Arthur Boddington has been enjoying 

 a well-earned vacation at the Maine re- 

 sorts. 



Lincoln Pierson, president of the TJ- 

 bar Co., has been enjoying his vaca- 

 tion at Asbury Park, N. J., and is now 

 nursing an attack of hay fever at his 

 home in Madison, N. J. 



The retail florists on Broadway and 

 Fifth avenue have had an experience 

 with a handsome young lady that caused 

 some careless language. She ordered 

 flowers sent C. O. D. to a theater. Hand- 

 some bunches of Beauties, fine baskets 

 and he-ribboned plants all found their 

 way to the theater at the same hour, 

 and many eyes were opened. The feel- 

 ings of the delivering contingent can be 

 imagined. But misery loves compjiny. 



and there was a lot of misery. It is 

 early in the season, and the lesson came 

 in good time, so that the pitfall may be 

 avoided hereafter. But, as one of the 

 retail men said, "She was very hand- 

 some, and there you are ! ' ' 



E. H. Harriman, the railroad mag- 

 nate, is building a million-dollar man- 

 sion on top of the highest of the Ra- 

 niapo mountains near Tuxedo, and at 

 the base will erect an elaborate range 

 of greenhouses, plans for which already 

 are submitted. 



George Ditzenberger, son of Adolph, 

 of the Ditzenberger Bros., formerly of 

 Bay Ridge, N. Y., is building a range 

 of glass at Woodcliff, N. J., to be de- 

 voted to carnations. 



James Mallon, of Brooklyn, is visit- 

 ing at Madison, N. J., piloted by another 

 veteran. James Hart, the wholesale 

 florist, is looking over the ground with 

 a view to locating a country home in 

 this famous Jersey town. 



Frank Clarke, one of the Clarke Bros., 

 of Portland, Ore., is in New York, with 

 a view to completing his musical educa- 

 tion. 



Frank Traendly, of Traendly & 

 Schenck, is devoting this week to his 

 annual missionary calls on his big list 

 of wholesale growers. 



The bowlers are getting back from 

 Europe. Louis Schmutz has returned 



from la belle France, and Phil Kessler 

 will arrive shortly from the Vaterlandl 

 There are only a few of them left over 

 there. There is some prospect of a 

 bowling club in New York this winter. 

 Captain Lang is back from his summer 

 farming, and already averaging nearly 

 200. With so many good bowlers as 

 the New York Club now possesses there 

 is no excuse for another season passing 

 without a club worthy of the city. This 

 year Long Island furnished four-fifths 

 of the team that bowled at Dayton. 



H. E. Froment's big store is now com- 

 plete and ready for Sie rush. Chrysan- 

 themums, Beauties and violets will be 

 specialties, as usual. 



A. L. Young & Co. will have a fifty- 

 foot store when all improvements are 

 completed. 



Indications now point to the selection 

 of the club's popular caterer and musi- 

 cal director as the next president of this 

 growing organization. The honor would 

 be well merited, and the oflSce filled with 

 skill and dignity. 



Thursday of this week the Jewish 

 New Year will be celebrated, and gifts 

 of flowers are the popular tokens pro- 

 vided. There has been a great booking 

 of orders already by the prominent re- 

 tailers. 



Alex. McConnell's new store is now 

 about perfect. The oflSce is being in-
