 warded before the contract is completed. 



Variotss Notes. 



The wholesalers are still gravitating 

 toward the natural business center. 

 Twenty-eighth street, west of Sixth ave- 

 nue, must of necessity grow more popu- 

 lar as the years roll on, for about every- 

 thing on the street between Broadway 

 and Sixth avenue is occupied and the 

 brevity of the leases granted indicates 

 the building of larger structures where 

 the architecture of a former generation 

 now stands. 



Gunther Bros, will occupy the store at 

 114 West Twenty-eighth street May 1, 

 Russin & Hanfling, the supply house 

 formerly at this address, will fit up th6 

 first floor of the building as an oflBce 

 and show room and use the balance of 

 the building as a factory. Gunther 

 Bros, have held the fort at 30 West 

 Twenty-ninth street for many years. 

 There are others with the Twenty-eighth 

 street bee in their bonnets. Perhaps the 

 new home of the New York Florists' 

 Club, that is so vivid a reality to Presi- 

 dent Totty, may be located on this hor- 

 ticultural thoroughfare. There is noth- 

 ing so sure to bring prosperity to the 

 greatest number as centralization. 



J. K. Allen is installing an immense 

 ice-box in his basement. No signs of 

 age here after twenty years of life on 

 the market. There must be something 

 enticing about a business that will hold 

 one loyal to it for a generation. James 

 Hart and John J. Perkins have been 

 loyal to it for over thirty years. But the 

 present age is the developer of t^e 

 young man in floriculture. Guttmaii, 

 Fenrich, Starke, Schumann, Seligman, 

 Levy, A. L. Young, Kuebler and Hen- 

 shaw are all good demonstrations of the 

 ability, ambition and accomplishment of 

 youth, health and tireless energy. 



The seedsmen are still working nights 

 and Sundays. They are quite satisfied 

 with the weather. It gives them oppor- 

 tunity to overtake their advance orders. 

 ' * The greatest season ' ' is their uni- 

 versal report. 



Few of the department stores are now 

 without a stock of roses and shrubbery. 

 More Ajnerican grown roses seem to be 



used than usual. C. C. Trefel, of Brook- 

 lyn, uses them altogether. 



A handsome decoration entirely of 

 American Beauties was made in the ban- 

 quet room of the N«w York Times April 

 15 in honor of the editor of the London 

 Times. David Howells, of the floral 

 department of the Hotel Knickerbocker, 

 was in charge. 



It is rumored that another flower 

 shop is to be opened on Fifth avenue 

 at Forty-first street, making a quintette 

 of stores under the management of one 

 ambitious Broadway florist. 



By the way, there were three failures 

 last week in the retail section. Two of 

 them lady florists, more's the pity. This 

 is too strenuous a village for the gentler 

 sex to battle in, especially in floral com- 

 petition. Over in Brooklyn the lady 

 florists all make excellent records and 

 there are many of them. But it takes a 

 man to make any headway in Manhattan 

 and he has to be a live one to make 

 progress at all against the expert and 

 established artists already here. 



The Kervan Co. expects to join the 

 Twenty-eighth street wholesalers shortly. 



Joseph E. Bolker is in Europe, look- 

 ing after the spring shipments of Au- 

 gust Bolker & Sons and searching for 

 horticultural novelties. He will return 

 about June 1. 



The liabilities of Bertha Cohn, at 17 

 East Fifty-ninth street, who has filed a 

 petition in bankruptcy, are said to be 

 $4,180 and the assets scheduled are only 

 $20. She seems to have been wiser than 

 some other people in the matter of ex- 

 tending credit. J. Austin Shaw.
