number of New Yorkers will be at each 

 and the usual success at both towns is 

 always to be depended on. 



On January 23 comes the annual dinner 

 of the Nassau County Society. This 

 falls on an evening that finds several 

 who would attend away at the Toronto 

 convention. 



There promises to be a carload of 

 New Yorkers to visit their brethren of 

 the "frozen north." The transition 

 from summer to the delights of sleigh 

 riding and a dry, cold atmosphere, full 

 of health and inspiration, will be a treat 

 to all who go. The rate is only $11.85 

 going, .$8.95 to return and $2.50 for the 

 Pullman conveniences. The train leaves 

 the Grand Central depot at 8 p. m., 

 Tues«lay, January 22, and engagements 

 for l)ertiis, etc., should be made with 

 ]laille<iouze Bros., of Flatbush, witliout 

 delay. All the prominent carnationists 

 of this section now intend to be there. 

 No one who has not experienced it can 

 overestimate the sincerity and enjoyment 

 of a Canadian welcome. 



Next Monday will be a great night at 

 tiie New York Florists ' Club. The new 

 officers will be installed, ('omprehensive 

 addresses may be depended upon. Presi- 

 dent Totty will outline a policy that will 

 insure another year of great enthusiasm 

 and j)rosperity. At this meeting novel- 

 ties in plants and flowers will be ex- 

 hibited, the various cornmittees will be 

 appointed and the faithful provider of 

 provender will again demonstrate how- 

 great a factor he has been in drawing 

 the record attendance of the past three 

 eventful years. 



The employees' ball last Saturday 

 night was a great success. Nearly 1,000 

 were present and it was daylight before 



the young folks were satisfied. Henry 

 Reiches, of Twenty-eighth street, led the 

 grand march. Vaudeville talent added 

 to the interest. Harry Hoffmeyer led 

 the retail contingent. Next year it will 

 be Terrace Garden and a greater suc- 



I consider 





the best paper published for florists 

 and the Florists' Manual is O. K.;am 

 more than pleased with both.

cess. As usual, the enterprising pro- 

 moters came out of the venture whole. 



J. K. Allen is receiving large ship- 

 jnents of forsythia in bloom, five to six 

 feet and very fine, for which there is a 

 ready sale. 



Joe Fenrich 's windows are in the 



swim, with white lilac, orchids and gar- 

 denias from Schultheis and a daily ship- 

 ment of white violets. Totty 's Rich- 

 monds are here, also, lots of them. 



Joe Millang, of the Cut Flower Co., 

 is enthusiastic over the Winsor carna- 

 tion and handles a great daily output 

 from the big houses of the F. R. Pierson 

 Co., at Scarboro. The Winsor is win- 

 ning its way rapidly and proves one of 

 the best of the recent introductions. It 

 will doubtless be seen at its best in 

 Toronto. 



Among the Canadian visitors will be 

 A. J. Guttman, introducer of Victory, 

 Imperial and Pink Imperial. 



That you may realize iiow popular the 

 gardenia is becoming, Ford Bros, one 

 (lay last week received in one shipment 

 forty-seven dozens of tliom. 



Among the New York visitors were 

 Andrew Wilson, of Summit, inventor of 

 the oil that is proving death to scale 

 and all noxious insects, and Mr. Bauer, 

 representing H. H. Battles, of Phila- 

 delphia. 



A brother of J. J. Perkins, a promi- 

 nent contractor of Patorsoii, N. J., was 

 buried January 3. the cause of death 

 being hemorrhage of the brain. 



A cablegram from Bristol, England, 

 on Monday announced the death of the 

 mother of A. M. Hcnshaw, at the age of 

 66 years. Mrs. Henshaw leaves a hua- 

 ])and and eight children, two of them in 

 tiiis country. The symj>atliy of the trade 

 is extended to these gentlemen in their 

 bereavement. 



Mr. Sullivan, of the Cut Flower Co., 

 is rejoicing in the addition of a four- 

 toon-pound florist to his staff. 



A goodly number of the wholesalers 

 are battling with the grippe epidemic,
