Various Notes. 



The Jamestown exposition has attracted 

 few of the New York florists to date. 

 Philip Kessler spent a day there. There 

 seem to be more interesting and profita- 

 ble ventures in fast travel close at hand. 

 Some of the wholesalers find the equine 

 exhibit worthy of daily visitation. Rumor 

 has one of the speculative contingent 

 $10,000 ahead on the season. 



S. Groot, of Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, 

 Holland, sailed for home on the steam- 

 ship New Amsterdam July 3. 



Anton Schultheis sailed July 2, with 

 his family, on lUe Kaiser Wilhelm der 

 Grosse, for a summer in Europe. 



Mr. Ross, who represents the F. R. 

 Pierson Co., of Tarrytown, sailed June 

 29 for Scotland. 



Summer vacations have already be- 

 gun with many of the wholesalers, and 

 the lieutenants also are commencing 

 their vvell earned respites. Three of 

 Mr. Froment 's force started for the 

 mountains July 1. Mr. Froment himself 

 has been recreating for a week in the 

 service of his country as a juror. 



William Sharke has several hotels in 

 his care, his work on the terrace of the 

 St. Regis being especially commend- 

 able. Privet, ivy, vincas and Boston 

 ferns are used in the decorations. 



The roof garden on the Hotel Astor, 

 where the seedsmen held their conven- 

 tion, is one of the most elaborately 

 decorated roofs in the country. Large 

 evergreens and poplars add to the en- 

 semble and huge banks of geraniums 

 lit up by electricity give a most charm- 

 ing effect. A section of the garden 

 was sot aside by the hotel manage- 

 ment for the exclusive use of the visit- 

 ijig seedsmen. As many as 2,000 on 

 the average visit this beautiful spot, 

 far above the noise and dust of the 

 busy streets, every evening. There are 

 many of the big hotels adding this 

 feature to their modern methods. 



Charles Millang has closed his con- 

 servatory for the summer. He retains 

 his branch at 7 West Twenty-eighth 

 street and will handle a great many 

 evergreens there in the fall.

THE Florists' Supply House of America 

 NEW TONEWARE IMPORTATIONS 



The new designs in Pompetan Toneware Vases received lately from 

 Europe are classic io their simp'tcity, carrying out admirably the idea that a 

 vase should display and not rival the flowers or plant it holds. These 

 Toneware Vases are beautifully proportioned in all the sizes, deep green in 

 color, though there are other sober hues and in some of them the idea 

 of strength is increased by a metal chain. Send for a sample order. 



STEAMER BASKETS 



July is a big month for travel abroad. Have you a good line of baskets 

 suitable for steamer gifts? We make a specialty of this class of baskets and 

 have all the latest novelties.

beyond expectations, especially in the 

 bulb department. Al Rickards is now 

 visiting his Long Island patrons. 



William H. Donohoe's new store is a 

 beauty and when its decorations are 

 complete there will be few more ar- 

 tistic, roomy and convenient. The lo- 

 cation is excellent. 



Alexander McC'onnell's nursery, at 

 New Rochelle, is well worth a visit now 

 and the stock of blue spruce and specimen 

 retinospora are especially attractive. The 

 demand for nursery stock has been con- 

 tinuous, Mr. McConnell says, and even 

 now shipments are made daily, there 

 being no limit to the evergreen require- 

 ments. 



A. Warendorff maintains his daily 

 artistic window, rain or shine, hot or 

 cold. He has set himself a standard that 

 keeps his decorator alert and hustling all 

 the time. Orchids are freely used here 



and, in fact, in all the high'class retail- 

 ers' windows. Just as well to so educate 

 the public taste while they are so reasona- 

 ble in price and abundant in variety. 



The Kervan Co. is much pleased with 

 the removal to West Twenty-eighth street, 

 where the firm has abundant room. They 

 will occupy the first floor, also, of their 

 premises for oflices and storage and are 

 installing in the rear one of the largest 

 ice-boxes in the business, where wild 

 smilax will be a specialty. 



Six weeks only and the great conven- 

 tion at Philadelphia of the 8. A. F. 

 George Watson, who attended the seeds- 

 men's convention, promises a great wel- 

 come and an abundance of interesting 

 features, all in the city and near it. 



Geo. Cotsonas & Co. have had several 

 fern gatherers hustling during the last 

 month and the supply is now equal to the 

 demand, J. Austin Shaw.
