credit to Mr. Bunyard for the idea. It 

 is something every retail florist will want 

 when he sees it. You will find it among 

 the Reed & Keller exhibits at the Phila- 

 delphia convention. 



The Greek outing, at Witzel's, this 

 week Friday promises to be a big suc- 

 cess. The Greek-American Retail Flor- 

 ists' and Growers' Association is the 

 ambitious name of the combination. 

 Tickets, including boat ride, dinner, etc., 

 are reasonable in price and many have 

 been sold. Several of the wholesalers 

 will attend. It would take a long time 

 to count the Athenians in this country 

 who have adopted the florists' profes- 

 sion. Their stores are all over the big 

 city and there are some showy ones 

 among them. 



C. R. Johnson, of Lindenhurst, N. Y., 

 was in the city Monday. His specialties 

 are sweet peas and carnations and his 

 stock is handled by A. M. Henshaw. 



The Johnston Heating Co. is installing 

 two steel return tubular boilers in the big 

 range of greenhouses at Samuel Unter- 

 myer's place, at Yonkers, N. Y., and are 



also caring for Dard's conservatory, at 

 his new store on West Seventy-second 

 street. 



J. K. Allen and wife leave this week 

 for Atlantic City, where they will re- 

 main until the convention. Mr. Allen, 

 who is the vice-president of the library 

 association at Kearney, N. J., made a 

 fine decoration at the opening of the Car- 

 negie library there last week, a large 

 floral book with the inscription "Knowl- 

 edge is power" in roses being especially 

 admired. Miss Smedley, the b?)okkeeper 

 for this house, is back from the moun- 

 tains, also Miss Emma Trojan, of Charles 

 Millang's oflSce force. The gentler sex 

 in all the wholesale houses have had 

 especial holiday recreation this season 

 and are coming back painted by sun and 

 breeze and ready for the strenuous labors 

 of the rapidly nearing busy months.
