from Anton Schultheis, of College Point. 



When the street merchants have vio- 

 lets, and good ones, at * ' twenty-five a 

 bunch," ribbons and perfume included, 

 you can imagine how many surplus boxes 

 are arriving daily. Even the choicest in 

 100-bunch selections did not reach $1. 

 Violets sold as low as 20 cents last week 

 and carnations at 50 cents per hundred. 

 Orchids hold steady, thanks to out-of- 

 town demands in addition to a city trade 

 that now is stable and growing uni- 

 versal. A florist here who does not 

 handle orchids is behind the procession 

 and is likely to stay there. 



Tulips are a drug; too many alto- 

 gether for comfort. Lots of them un- 

 salable. Narcissi are quite as abundant, 

 making windows wonderfully springlike 

 at small cost. There is no excuse for 

 stinted display or wisdom in careless- 

 ness as to daily redecoration of the re- 

 tail windows. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Breitmeyer, of Detroit, was a 

 visitor February 16 and under the care 

 of Frank Traendly seemed quite at 

 home in the wholesale district. He tells 



me La Detroit is queen of the pink roses 

 in his city and Bridesmaids are not 

 called for. He promises a fine exhibit 

 at the Washington rose show, 



Myer is having a busy season at 609 

 Madison avenue, and has had many 

 notable weddings since the new year be- 

 gan. The daily New York papers have 

 itemized his artistic work and given him 

 much praise for unique and beautiful 

 effects. The last wedding of note was 

 the Morgan-Pruyn decoration a week 

 ago, where laurel and bay trees were 

 used extensively and originally to the 

 satisfaction of all concerned. Myer is 

 rapid in his progress and has a finely 

 decorated store, quite up-to-date in 

 every way. 



Alex McConnell has issued a neat 

 pamphlet entitled "How to Cultivate 

 and Care for Decorative Plants for 

 Adornment of Your City and Suburban 

 Homes." It is a complete condensation 

 of instruction that cannot fail to be of 

 practical service to his customers. Every 

 retailer might well copy this plan of 

 generous advertising. A visit to Mr, 

 McConnell 's big store in the Arcade 

 makes one forget the snow and winter. 



With its forsythia, lilac, snowballs and 

 hyacinths, it is a breath of the spring, 



Jas, T. Gillespie, formerly superin- 

 tendent of the Geo, Gould estate, at 

 Lakewood, is now in charge of Belle 

 Terre, a 1,500-acre tract of land at Port 

 Jefferson, L. L 



A visit to the nurseries of Bobbink & 

 Atkins shows that a great supply of 

 Easter blooming plants will be ready on 

 time, including lilies of splendid prom- 

 ise and quantity. 



The new houses of the Julius Roehrs 

 Co,, built for orchids, are completely 

 filled and profusely blooming. There 

 are six of them, thoroughly up-to-date, 

 built to last a century, with tile benches 

 and every modem improvement. A 

 large packing shed adjoins the range 

 and ample provision has been made for 

 steady yearly additions to the plant. 

 The company has recently bought a 

 large tract of land adjoining its prop- 

 erty for further expansion. 



February 15, under the guidance of 

 Mr. Ross, of the F. R, Pierson Co., a 

 dozen Jersey and Long Island gardeners 

 visited the Scarboro plant of this firm
