The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



March 28, 1907. 



the ranks of the benedicts, about the 

 time of June roses. 



L. B. Coddington 's roses are winning 

 a name in rosedom, and their name is 

 legion since the big houses were com- 

 pleted. H. E. Froment handles the en- 

 tire output, violets being another spe- 

 cialty of this popular house. There have 

 been no changes in the office staff dur- 

 ing the year and the big ship floats on 

 an even keel. 



William Starke says he had more or- 

 ders booked for the Easter trade than 

 his conservatories would hold if they 

 were four times as large. He seems to 

 empty the one on Twenty-ninth street 

 several times weekly. 



John Seligman and Joseph J. Levy 

 are on the crest of prosperity's wave. 

 They have grown fast since Easter, 1906. 

 Courtesy, attention to business and per- 

 sistency always culminate in success. 

 Then, too, a good wife added to the 

 combination during the year has been 

 an inspiration. 



Joseph J. Fenrich, the youngest and 

 liveliest of the wholesalers, handles not 

 only Schultheis' prize stuff, but Totty's 

 Eichmonds, white violets and about 

 every variety of cut flower yet discov- 

 ered. Mrs. Fenrich is a daughter of the 

 veteran Le Moult, of the Bowery, and 

 the boy will take first prize at the out- 

 ing this year unless all signs fail, for he 

 is a ' ' physical culture baby. ' ' 



A. M. Henshaw finds the square deal 

 and square dealing excellent foundation 

 stones for the rearing of a structure 

 that grows higher and broader daily. 

 He has had a most satisfactory year 

 and no finer roses come to the city than 

 those he handles. 



The Kervan Co. has an abundance of 

 southern supplies of all kinds for Easter ; 

 so have George Cotsonas & Co., includ- 

 ing especially fancy ferns, galax and 

 leucothoe. 



N. Lecakes & Co., in addition to all 

 varieties of green goods, have a cut 

 flower department managed by John 

 Foley that has grown to good propor- 

 tions since last Easter. The head of the 

 house, Nicholas Lecakes, celebrated last 

 week the arrival of his second boy. 



Eussin & Hanfling, the basket manu- 

 facturers and supply men, had a splen- 

 did year and a big Easter trade. They 

 are greatly encouraged by the growth 

 of their business. 



The Geller Co. finds its big store just 

 what was needed for Easter and wonders 

 now how it ever managed without it. 

 Mr. Geller will soon be off for Europe 

 to select his stock for the coming season. 



A. L. Young & Co. are among the 

 optimists, having doubled their busi- 

 ness and the size and' conveniences of 

 their handy store. Personality is a de- 

 sideratum in progress, and courtesy and 

 consideration for others are a sure step- 

 ping-stone to advancement and esteem. 



The next meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club, early in April, will be 

 ladies' night. It will be doubly inter- 

 esting because of Easter and its memo- 

 ries. A splendid program will be pro- 

 vided. 



May the Easter of 1907 be to all a 

 source of profit, hope and happiness and 

 the grandest Easter in the experience 

 of every florist on the continent. 



J. Austin Shaw. 



Vienna, III. — I. N. McEiray, florist 

 and gardener at the Southern Illinois 

 prison at Chester, was called home last 

 week on account of the serious illness of 

 his son William, who has pneumonia.
