quantity remained over in cold storage, 

 splendidly preserved, so there was no 

 lack in supply for several days. A few 

 gladioli are left. Quite a supply came 

 in on Saturday, but Omega was their 

 name. They have maintained their pop- 

 ularity most encouragingly, and the new 

 varieties were much admired. 



Beauties last week were not up to the 

 standard, and prices fell, some of the 

 best as low as $10 a hundred. 



Dahlias have gone slowly, even the 

 best of the single and cactus kinds, and 

 the hot weather affected them percepti- 

 bly. Now come the chrysanthemums to 

 put about everything else out of business 

 for awhile. 



Carnations are short-stemmed and 

 small, and prices have not yet changed 

 for the better. Orchids are abundant. 

 They do duty in the retail windows. 

 Prices have fallen. Goodly quantities 

 are shipped daily to the leading florists 

 of the other cities. 



Various Notes. 



Some fine eshibits of orchids will be 

 seen at the next meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, October 8, and doubtless a few of 

 the earlier chrysanthemums. We are 

 looking for some surprises from Totty 

 this season, and are not likely to be dis- 

 appointed. 



Traendly & Schenck are preparing 

 the entire floor above their big store for 

 their increasing business, and will occupy 

 it about October 1. Evidently this house 

 looks into the future with an optimistic 

 eye. The engagement of Charles 

 Schenck, the junior partner, to Re- 

 becca Pachner, daughter of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Isaac Pachner, is announced. Con- 



gratulations and celebrations are in or- 

 der. Soon there will not be a bachelor 

 wholesaler left. Two got back from their 

 honeymoons last week. 



L. Klein, at 1262 Third avenue, and 

 wife, have returned from a six weeks' 

 trip on the Great Lakes. 



Charles Millang has prepared for his 

 European importations of box trees and 

 retinispora by leasing the big store and 

 yard at 45 West Twenty-ninth street, 

 across the street from his present estab- 

 lishment, and will fit it up thoroughly 

 for his plant department. These two 

 stores will give him ample room for his 

 growing trade. 



Walter Sheridan will return from his 

 summer home on the Sound to his city 

 residence next week. 



S. Bodh, the ribbon man on West 

 Twenty-eighth street, has returned from 

 an enjoyable trip through New England. 

 He reports business good and prospects 

 bright in his line of supplies. 



Joseph Fenrich is handling Totty 's 

 Adiantum Farleyense in pots, and the 

 fine valley and mums from Anton Schult- 

 heis. 



Adam Trefel, of Brooklyn, opened a 

 new store Saturday evening at the cor- 

 ner of Monroe street and Broadway. He 

 also has a fine place on DeKalb and 

 Vanderbilt avenues. 



C. C. Trefel will have a $1,500 team 

 and wagon ready for his decorative and 

 delivery work this fall, with headquar- 

 ters at Lozier's. As usual, Mrs. Trefel 

 is the able manager of the cut flower 

 department. 



Carl Hartmann, of Woodside, of Hart- 

 mann & Wagenf ohr, has invented a flying 

 machine, or airship, for which rumor 



says he has been offered $80,000. Those 

 who have seen the invention say it's a 

 flyer, and several of the leading aero- 

 nauts have taken stock in the enterprise. 

 This will give some florists a chance to 

 fly, for whom the prospects were not be- 

 fore encouraging. 



The orchid collection of the late G. It. 

 Montgomery will be sold at auction Oc- 

 tober 2, at 201 Fulton street, by Wm. 

 Elliott & Sons. This is considered one 

 of the best private collections in the 

 country. 



G. Fischer, on Coney Island avenue, 

 Brooklyn, has a pair of latanias which 

 have been in his possession for sixty 

 years, or about ever since he started in 

 the florists' business. Now they are 

 giving him trouble because of their size. 



A fitting close to the great pleasure re- 

 sorts in this vicinity came with the heat 

 of Sunday. The whole week of the 

 Mardi Gras was hotter than any week 

 of the summer, on the average. New 

 York awoke to a fall of 30 degrees in 

 temperature on Monday evening. The 

 market and the florists both gave signs 

 of recovery. It was on the whole a 

 cheerful day and everything of good 

 quality sold readily. Many of the big 

 stores had their millinery openings and 

 lots of flowers were called for. 



P. O'Mara reports an enjoyable visit 

 at White Marsh, Md., and a goodly at- 

 tendance to mark the appreciation of the 

 Vincent brand of hospitality. The north, 

 however, hardly did itself justice in num> 

 bers. 



This is dahlia week: Big show at 

 the American Institute; grand stock 

 from Vincent, Lovett, Herbert and oth- 

 ers; a great display of orchids, foliage
