ter Lovett was in charge of the display. 

 Other exhibitors and prize winners were 

 L. M. Noe, of Madison; F. R. Pierson 

 Co., John Lewis Childs, and Messrs. Burt 

 and Scott Bros. 



The great Long Island Fair at Mineola 

 had to combat bad weather and rain, 

 but the attendance totaled over 100,000. 

 Harry Turner, of Castle Gould, staged a 

 most effective bank of superb celosias, 

 with specimen crotons, ferns and foliage 

 plants, that attracted great attention. 

 The association's diploma of superior 

 merit was awarded. John Lewis Childs 

 also had a magnificent bank of palms 

 and foliage plants and the usual gladi- 

 olus display. Adolph Jaenicke planted a 

 fine group of evergreens, with rustic 

 seats, pagoda, and all the accessories of 

 his vocation. He is a graduate of Berlin, 

 Paris, London and Switzerland and for 

 the last twelve years has been one of the 

 superintendents with John Lewis Childs. 

 Stumpp & Walter Co. had a large collec- 

 tion of fruits, bulbs, etc. 



In these days of society formations, , 

 from Philadelphia to Jamestown, it will )

be no surprise to know that the nucleus 

 of an orchid society is gathering form at 

 this great Center of the orchid industry 

 of tins country. Messrs. Roehrs and 

 Manda are the leading spirits in this en- 

 terprise. Tliey expect to number in their 

 membership many of the proprietors of 

 the leading private estates of America. 



James Hart, in addition to his whole- 

 sale cut flower business, has done a large 

 trade in New York hotel decoration and 

 has invented a new style of plant stand 

 that is practical and popular. 



Reed & Keller have invented a new 

 process of preserving magnolia leaves 

 that makes them durable. Wreaths can 

 be made up, and will keep almost indefi- 

 nitely. Mr. Reed says the firm is work- 

 ing night and day, and away behind in 

 filling orders, so great is the demand. All 

 tlie florists ' supply houses have the same 

 story of abundant orders, and large ship- 

 ments. There does not seem to be any 

 lack of optimism and enterprise in this 

 branch of the trade. 



Ford Bros, are receiving fine Beauties 

 from the Florex Gardens, of North 



Wales, Pa. Will Ford was a visitor at 

 the Gardens when on his vacation, and 

 says in one house of 150x500 he saw 

 45,000 Beauty plants. 



Perkins & Nelson are installing an ice- 

 box 7x27 in their store in the Coogan 

 building. The veteran shows few effects 

 of over thirty^five years' wholesaling. 

 The new firm has good facilities and lots 

 of enterprise, and is doing well. 



Mr. Hillman, of the Cut Flower Co., 

 has been away for two weeks on his an- 

 nual vacation. 



Tuesday of this week Stumpp & Wal- 

 ter Co. celebrated its tenth anniversary. 



Samuel Parsons, Jr., has been ap- 

 pointed park commissioner for New 

 York, a very popular and desirable se- 

 lection. 



William Good, of Galvin's Back Bay 

 store, Boston, was in the city last week. 

 Frank Good is now foreman in the Ona- 

 way store in New York. 



Samuel Woodrow has a large stock of 

 palms and ferns. He is building up a 

 fine business. 



W. H. Kuebler, of Brooklyn, has the
