double regular size and some old familiar 

 faces appear as reminders of days gone 

 by. In Small & Sons, Wm. Plumb is 

 enjoying a vacation as one of the lieu- 

 tenants in this strenuous center. 



Mr. Merritt, formerly with J. M. 

 Hodgson & Co., on Fifth avenue, is now 

 in charge of the Siegel & Cooper con- 

 servatories and his master hand and ex- 

 pert management are already apparent 

 there and in the cut flower department 

 of the firm as well. The large green- 

 houses are splendidly stocked with the 

 choicest goods and a large increase in 

 the volume of business has developed 

 since Mr. Merritt assumed control. 



At Bloomingdale 's, W. W. Bumham 

 has built up a wonderful business on 

 legitimate lines, antagonizing none of 

 the best retail trade of the city and 

 maintaining similar prices to those which 

 obtain in the retail stores of Broadway 

 and Fifth avenue. 



Over in Brooklyn at Loeser's, C. C. 

 Trefel manages his immense trade in a 

 similar way and with his own $1,500 

 team and delivery wagons and all needed 

 facilities he has sold this Christmas 

 2,500 poinsettias in pots, 2,500 arau- 



carias and over 2,000 azaleas, besides 

 5,000 fern dishes and palms and ferns 

 innumerable. Last Easter his sales of 

 azaleas totaled 18,000. On December 

 26 he had the elaborate decoration for 

 the Brooklyn Heights casino. Mrs. 

 Trefel is in charge of the cut flower de- 

 partment. These department store flor- 

 ists, once a menace, have become ad- 

 juncts and educators, enhancing the pub- 

 lic interest in floriculture. 



A great many growers of roses and 

 violets were in the city last week, inves- 

 tigating the Christmas market prospects. 

 Among them were Judson Traver and P. 

 Tremper, of Ehinebeck, 



These violets men up the state are 

 growing in numbers rapidly and grow- 

 ing in wealth as well. Little wonder 

 there is no other industry in Dutchess 

 county worthy of the name. Every vio- 

 let grower is an aristocrat. Even the 

 beginners, with their two or three 100- 

 foot houses put by enough money in the 

 winter to take a trip to Europe and 

 build another house or two for the next 

 season. J. Austin Shaw. 



The Charles H. Fox Co. has been in- 



corporated under the laws of the state 

 of New York, the principal offices being 

 stated to be in New York city. The 

 authorized capital stock is $25,000 and 

 the incorporators are Charles H. Fox, 

 Philadelphia; J, Hirsch and W. Jacobs, 

 New York city. It is understood that 

 it is the purpose of Mr. Fox to start a 

 New York store.

The Market. 



Yes, it was a good Christmas. There 

 was plenty of stock, after all, and every 

 one got all he wanted, and that was a 

 good deal. The weather turned cold Sat- 

 urday night and we had a cold, white 

 Christmas, and while this weather has 

 helped business it has been hard on the 

 plant men and has made plenty of extra 

 work wrapping to protect from freezing, 

 but there is no complaint, for everyone 

 has made money. 



After a week of snow, rain, and gen- 

 erally sloppy weather, Saturday night 

 found the retail florists in a good hu- 

 mor, as trade had been all that had been
