inconvenience. In due time all the insti- 

 tutions in New York and Brooklyn, it 

 is believed, will pay dollar for dollar. 



The retail windows, with their oak foli- 

 age, prize mums, orchids and new cre- 

 ations in vases and baskets, are a dream. 

 It would be an endless task to specify 

 ' the artists who have realized their op- 

 . portunities and made these window dec- 

 • orations worthy of the city. 



Arthur Herriugton was in town Octo- 

 ber 28, preparing for the Madison ex- 

 hibition, which he says will pass all its 

 predecessors. This will be Thursday and 

 Friday. At Bed Bank, on Wednesday 

 and Thursday, the Monmouth County 

 Horticultural Society will celebrate. 



Next week, November 6 to 8, we have 

 exhibitions at Tarrytown and Glen Cove, 

 and on the same days, November 6 to 8, 

 the Clhrysanthemum Society of America 

 will have its annual show at the Amer- 

 ican Institute in this city, 19 to 21 West 

 Forty-fourth street, unfortunately so 

 cramped for room that to do itself jus- 

 tice is out of the question. A grand 

 exhibit, however, is assured and Pres. 

 Totty and all the expert mum growers in 

 and around us will display their novelties 

 to the limit of the room afforded. 



The establishment of a protective as- 

 sociation by the wholesale florists is now- 

 assured. Preliminary meetings have 

 been largely attended, and those not 

 present are quite certain to join their 

 brethren in the scheme. Every whole- 

 saler has evinced a practical willingness 

 to bind himself to the fulfillment of the 

 obligations. The i>rospect8 for a union 

 of the Plant Growers' Association with 

 this organization are also encouraging. 

 With the two interests acting in com- 

 mon, and loyal to each other, there can 

 be no question of the benefits accruing 

 to all concerned. It will inaugurate a 

 new era in credit giving, similar to that 

 HO effective in the fruit markets, with 

 clearing hou^e methods that will soon 

 eliminate the men who do not pay their 

 bills and place the retail business on 

 «ucii a basis that benefit must come to 

 all. The infamy of dishonest methods 

 and inexcusably long credits will cease, 

 and the men who deserve to succeed will 

 no longer be forced to compete with the 

 class who i)ay only when they have to 

 and, when opportunity and inclination 

 join hands, do not pay at all. Whole- 

 salers pay their growers every week. It 

 is a poor rule that does not work both 

 ways. 



Walter Sheridan has so far recovered 

 that he was at his oflSce on Twenty- 

 eighth street a short time October 26.

Quite a reception was tendered him by 

 his wholesale brethren. 



Reed & Keller's new catalogue is out 

 and ready for distribution. It is a vol- 

 ume of 150 pages. 



The wife of James Montgomery Lit- 

 tlejohn, one of the pioneer florists at 

 Chatham, N. J., died October 27. 



On the same day at East Orange, N. 

 J., Eichard Perdue, the florist, passed 

 away at the age of 82. 



Traendly & Schenek are giving a 

 chrysanthemum show every morning at 

 their headquarters on Twenty-eighth 

 street. Such Appleton, Coombes and 

 Eaton as one sees here are hard to beat; 

 50 cents each, $5 a dozen, are the pre- 

 vailing figures as the week opens for 

 these immense blooms. 



.Tames Hart supplies nearly a dozen 

 hotels with palms and flowering plants, 

 and last week had a big order for hedg- 

 ing at New Bochelle. To all of these 

 the veteran gives his personal attention. 



A. Warendorflf now confines his atten- 

 tion to his long established center at 

 1193 Broadway, having disposed of liis 

 branch stores and decided that in concen- 

 tration there is strength and a suflficiencv 

 of responsibility. 



Mrs. Theodore Lang will open the 

 handsome store at Madison avenue aiMl 

 Fifty-third street this week, an excellent 

 location. 



O. V, Zangen finds the venture into 

 the wholesale cut flower ranks entirolv 

 satisfactory. Meantime his personal 

 attention is given to his seed trade, 

 Avhich is far ahead of last year's record 

 to date. 



Bickards Bros. ' special importation of 

 White Romans is here and going fast. 

 The fall business of this house is double 

 the most sanguine expectations. 



Alex McConnell looks like a young 

 man again after his summer in Euroi)e, 

 and the old Manx home. He has a fund 

 of stories and experiences on tap that 

 will make him an interesting object for 

 the florioultural interviewer for many a 

 day.

 burn & Co., F. R, Pierson Co., Peter 

 Henderson & Co., and Geo. Smith. 



The Pierson U-Bar Co. is building a 

 large range of conservatories for Senator 

 Aldrich, of Rhode Island. 



The new houses of the F. R. Pierson 

 Co., at Scarboro, contain many interest- 

 ing departures, among which is the com- 

 bination of iron construction with cement 

 walls and foundations. These are Lord 

 & Bumham Co. houses, and the fii-m has 

 recently completed two houses 35x300 

 for Weiss Bros., Hatboro, Pa., these also 

 being half iron with concrete sides. 



Hitchings & Co. are rapidly completing 

 their new plant at Elizabeth, N. J., and 

 soon will be in splendid shape. 



A. T. Boddington will have representa- 

 tives at all the shows in the next fort- 

 night, exhibiting the new Lady Lenox 

 cosmos. 



Bobbink & Atkins, at Rutherford, say 

 their fall importations of azaleas, palms, 

 boxwood and bay trees are greater than 

 ever this season. J. Austin Shaw, 



We should be pleased if every dollar 

 invested brought as satisfactory* returns 

 as the dollar paid for the Review. —
