Referring to the Mackintosh failure 

 reported last week, a commercial agency 

 report is as follows: "Daniel J. Mack- 

 intosh, florist, 1144 Broadway, has filed a 

 petition in bankruptcy, with liabilities 

 $8,780 and nominal assets $4,406, con- 

 sisting of stock, $20 ; two wagons, $500 ; 

 fixtures, $150, and outstanding accounts, 

 $3,556 from several hundred customers, 

 which he has been unable to collect. The 

 largest creditors are Elizabeth Mackin- 

 tosh, $3,000, and Eichard Gager, $853. 

 John E. Mackintosh is preferred for 

 $708, bequest and legacy under the will 

 "^ Kate Mackintosh. The petitioner has 

 neen in business since 1896." 



Knight & Struck is the name of a 

 new firm in the Metropolitan building. 

 The members are Thomas Knight and 

 George F. Struck, both of whom are 

 well known to the trade. Mr. Knight 

 has for some years been with the Julius 

 Eoehrs Co., Eutherford, N. J., and Mr. 

 Struck until a few months ago was with 

 Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J,, and also 

 represented F. E. Pierson Co., Tarry- 

 town. The partners announce that they 

 are prepared "to supply all wants from 

 a horticultural standpoint." 



The greenhouse men are all optimistic. 

 Many contracts for extensive biiilding in 

 1908 are already signed, sealed and de- 

 livered. It will be a great year with 

 the horticultural builders, unless all 



signs fail, and this is just as it should 

 be, with this country only waking up to 

 its future. 



We are glad that Easter is within hail- 

 ing distance. April 19 will be here be- 

 fore we are ready for it. The wise 

 plantsman is already perfecting his 

 plans. 



While taking a farewell drink to the 

 old year, Q«orge Nicodemus, 40 years 

 old, a Greek florist living at 205 Flush- 

 ing avenue, Astoria, dropped dead in Al- 

 bert Baruth's saloon in 456 Flushing 

 avenue, December 31. Nicodemus had 

 invited the others in the place to join 

 in a farewell glass. 



One of the week's visitors is William 

 P. Craig, Philadelphia, with blooms of
