E. Wadamon, of South Orange, N. J., 

 is making a fine exhibit of Japanese 

 dwarf trees at 273 Fifth avenue, for 

 which a good demand has developed. 

 Some of his specimens are 100 years 

 old. 



Siebrecht & Son move into their new 

 store, at 427 Fifth avenue, December 1. 

 This large and convenient store is next 

 door to the corner establishment opened 

 two years ago in the Siebrecht build- 

 ing, and close to their present location. 

 This firm grows about everything re- 

 quired in its retail work at the green- 

 houses and nursery in New Eoehelle. 

 On Wednesday, November 20, Charles 

 See, bookkeeper for this house for the 

 last twenty years, was married to a 

 New Bochelle lady and is spending his 

 honeymoon in Washington. Mr. See 

 has just completed a handsone home on 

 hia property, the old Tom Paine farm, 

 where the couple will reside. The wed- 

 ding was a great surprise to his many 

 friends, as he has long been conside-red 

 immune. 



A fire above the store of the Geller 

 Co. last week did considerable damage 

 by water to the stock in the cellar and 

 store. This is the second experience 

 Mr. Geller has had with fire since he 

 opened his supply house. The damage 

 is covered by insurance. 



The imported Irish yews, Koster blue 

 spruce, and Nordmanniana find a ready 

 sale at Cleary's, where both at auction 

 and private sale good attendance and 

 brisk demand is encouraging the new 

 firm beyond expectations. 



B. Rosens, 48 West Twenty-ninth 

 street, will call upon his Chicago pa- 

 trons after Thanksgiving. He has put 

 in a big stock in the new store. 



Mcintosh, on Broadway, celebrated 

 horse show week with a window deco- 

 rated with yellow mums with a horse 's 

 head of immortelles in the center of a 

 wreath. 



The most unique advertising seen in 

 New York of late is that of the Dayton 

 Cash Register Co. In its window is a 

 representation of a florist's store with 

 ice-box, natural flowers, boxes and all 

 else the florist uses. The purchaser and 

 salesman are expert actors and carry 

 out the simulation of purchase, pay- 

 ment and change from the cash regis- 

 ter, with all the gusto and detail of the 

 reaJ thing. Crowds surround the dis- 

 play all day and, in the meantime, the 

 florist and his wares enjoy the benefit 

 of a first-class advertising method. The 

 company evidently had not yet forgot- 

 ten the S. A. F. convention and the ad-

vertising the florists gave it. This was 

 "casting bread on the waters." Now 

 it is returning. 



Donohoe last Wednesday had charge 

 of the Shaw-Hemmens wedding, a white 

 and yellow mum decoration, with can- 

 opy of valley. The bride 's bouquet 

 was of white orchids, with Ivory roses 

 for the maid of honor and Golden Wed- 

 ding mums for the six bridesmaids. 



Bonnet & Blake, in Brooklyn, are 

 complaining of lack of room. One of 

 their largest shippers is .Tohn N. May, 

 of Summit, N. J. The stock they handle 

 is largely from Jersey and their roses, 

 especially, are appreciated by the 

 Brooklyn florists. 



Poinsettias now add to the brilliancy 

 of the retail window decorations. 



At Traendly & Schenck 's, J. A. Peter- 

 son, of Cincinnati, has samples of his 

 pandanus and begonias.

The Market. 



Business last week was in no way over- 

 rushed, but I am of the opinion that the 

 money market is somewhat responsible. 

 However, not any of our banks have 

 closed their doors. Money is scarce and 

 it seems that the public is slow in spend- 

 ing it for flowers. 



There is an abundance of good quality 

 of flowers on the market and the demand 

 is not enough to clean them all up. Fu-
