avenue, have a branch store at West 

 End, Long Branch, N. J. This firm had 

 the large order for the Schaeflfer family 

 there last week, over $2,000 worth of 

 designs being used to fill the many 

 orders. Several members of the family 

 were burned to death. 



The New York Florists ' Club will hold 

 its last meeting for the season next 

 Monday evening, June 10, at the Hotel 

 Earlington, on West Twenty-seventh 

 street. The outing program will be dis- 

 tributed and several matters of interest 

 discussed. A large attendance is re- 

 quested. 



Charles F, Cuche has filled his three 

 new 200-foot houses at West Hoboken, 

 N. J., with rose stock from Totty and 

 Schultz, of Madison. Joseph S. Fenrich 

 will look after the New York end of the 

 enterprise.

Jacob Davis and Miss Minnie Sickles 

 will be married Sunday, June 9, and 

 spend their honeymoon in New England. 

 Mr. Davis has been bookkeeper for W. 

 H. Donohoe and M. A. Bowe. 



Business during the afternoons of 

 July and August is always at a stand- 

 still. There has been some talk of clos- 

 ing the wholesale houses during the hot 

 months at 1 p. m. Even now many of 

 the leading wholesalers find opportunity 

 for recreation and itinerancy early in 

 the ^•ternoons. The days of quietude 

 and retrospection are drawing near.

 which he had no right.

The Market. 



Decoration day business was a great 

 deal better than expected. The leading 

 retailers say it was much better than 

 last year and that this day hereafter 

 will be looked forward to as one of our 

 busy days. A great deal of shipping 

 to neighboring towns was done the day 

 before. The wholesalers, too, were kept 

 busy all morning filling orders. Stock 

 was plentiful enough, but the orders 

 ahead cleaned up almost everything in 

 sight, with an increase in price on roses 

 and carnations. In the afternoon the 

 wholesalers closed up, but not so with 

 the retailers. The greenhouse man, too, 

 experienced a busy day with plants. 

 They say bedding stock is running low 

 and first-class stock of almost every- 

 thing is scarce. Since Decoration day, 

 at the wholesale houses, stock of good 

 quality has not been any too plentiful 

 and prices remain as last Thursday. 



In roses there is enough second-class 

 stock in the market. Bride and Maid 

 are somewhat scarce. Some extra fine 

 Richmond, Chatenay and Ivory can be 

 had. Beauties are not extra good, but 

 enough of them. 



There are plenty of white carnations, 

 but colored stock has been in demand 

 and is scarce. Lawson is poor. En- 

 chantress, Mrs. Patten, Boston Market, 

 and Lady Bountiful are good. Cardinal 

 is the best red. 



Peonies and cape jasmine have sold 

 well. Sweet peas are having a big de- 

 mand. They are plentiful, but the de- 

 mand makes them look scarce. Plenty 

 of good valley is to be had and it will 

 come in handy for the number of wed- 

 dings this month. Dagger ferns are now 

 plentiful, as are all other greens. 



Variotts Notes. 



Henry Emunds, of Belleville, was over. 

 May 31 to spend the day with friends 

 in the trade. Mr. Emunds reports a 

 good trade Decoration day. 



N. Bova & Sons, who run a flower 

 stand in Union Market, have bought out 

 James North, at 616 North Vandeventer 

 avenue, where they will continue the' 

 business. The sale was made through 

 W. C. Smith & Co. 



Fred C. Weber's delivery wagon was 

 in a smash-up with a street car last week. 

 The wagon was badly demolished and 

 the driver badly hurt. 



W. C. Smith & Co. disposed of large 

 quantities of tobacco stems last week. 



Robert J. Scott, the Schreve avenue 

 florist, reports that he has had a busy 

 season in planting and i?. almost sold 

 out of- everything. 



A. Schroeter, a florist on South Broad- 

 way, has pulled up stakes and has left. 



D. I. Bushnell and C. Nichols, of the 

 St. Louis Seed Co., and Mr. Schisler, 

 of the Schisler-Comeli Seed Co., are 

 making preparations to attend the con- 

 vention of the American Seed Trade As- 

 sociation, at New York, June 25. 



Frank M. Ellis, now of Panama, 

 writes to friends that he is much pleased 

 with his prospects on his banaua plan- 

 tation. His wife is now on her way to 

 visit him. He keeps in touch with his 

 friends by reading the Review every 

 week. 



Mr. Carr, who handles the stock of 

 plants of William Schray & Sons, at 

 Union Market, reports good trade, with 

 good stock scarce. Frank Guttman, at 

 the next stand to him, reports about the 

 same. 



The florists doing business directly op- 

 posite the cemeteries did a rushing busi- 

 ness Decoration day and the day before.
