Gould; W. E. Marshall, of New York, 

 who, as vice-president, spoke for the 

 New York Florists' Club; the Eickards 

 brothers and Wm. Woodell, of New 

 York, who made much melody; C. H. At- 

 kins, of Rutherford; W. A. Sperling, 

 from the Stumpp & Walter Co.; J. E. 

 Lager, of Summit, and the secretary and 

 a large delegation of the Orange Horti- 

 cultural Society. 



A cultural certificate was awarded A. 

 B. Kennedy, by the judges, Fraser, Her- 

 rington and Schultz, for a fine vase of 

 the Victory carnation. Mr. Duckham 

 was absent in Chicago. 



The imported talent from New York 

 gave great satisfaction. Mr. Woodell 

 and the Rickards brothers, fresh from 

 their musical triumph at Newport, were 

 in grand voice and kept the big audi- 

 ence enthused until midnight. Totty said 

 it was the best smoker in the club's cup- 

 board and the punch was mighty pow- 

 erful. 



Various Notes. 



The trustee in bankruptcy has de- 

 clared a first dividend of twenty 4)er

Schloss Bros, will remove February 1 

 to their new and larger establishment at 

 542 Broadway, where they will have fa- 

 cilities for their rapidly growing trade. 

 There is no pessimism in the ribbon sec- 

 tion of the florists' business. 



Reed & Keller are enjoying the usual 



lull before the Easter business, and, as 

 usual, Mr. Reed's inventive brain is 

 working overtime. The latest novelty is 

 the Easter-egg baskets made of plaited 

 cane on easels. There will be a wide 

 call for the birch bark plaited boxes for 

 palms and plant combinations. The sup- 

 ply men are all optimistic and predict a 

 growing demand until Easter, and all 

 are preparing for it. 



The New York papers exploited a find 

 last week by Mrs. McNieee, a florist on 

 upper Broadway, of thirteen pearls in 

 the gizzard of a turkey, the jewels val- 

 ued at $4,000. 



John Nash attended the wedding of 

 Alfred A. Tharp, Bedford, N. Y., and 

 Miss C. L. Brenminger at St. Matthew's 

 church January 8. He says it was a 

 beautiful decoration, with - some hilari- 

 ous demonstrations speeding the young 

 folks on their honeymoon, Mr. Tharp is 

 a son of A. F. Tharp, the carnation 

 grower whose first shipments years ago 

 were made to the firm of Moore, Hentz 

 & Nash, and he is shipping there still. 



Charles Albert Small, of J. H. Small 

 & Sons, was receiving congratulations 

 January 10, on the completion of his 

 first half century. 



Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, was in 

 New York January 9 on his way home, 

 after a recuperative ocean trip to Sa- 

 vannah, Ga. 



William Adams, of Great Neck, L. I., 

 passed away December 31, after a long 

 illness, at the age of 70 years. He was 

 one of the pioneers of that section and 

 held the reputation of an expert grower 

 of freesia and yellow daisies. 



Victor Dorval, of Woodside, L. I., died 

 January 12 at his home there and the 

 funeral will take place Wednesday. Mr. 

 Dorval was one of the old-time florists 

 of Long Island and a man of sterling 

 character and wide reputation. His plant 

 of 50,000 square feet of glass is one of 

 the landmarks of that section of New 

 York. Hia sons will continue the busi- 

 ness, 



Mengham & Westwood are much 

 pleased with their experience since open-

 avenue. Their most gratifying order to 

 date has been the Guggenheim wedding 

 decoration at the St. Regis hotel. 



Anton Schultheis, of College Point; 

 H. C. Steinhoff, of Hoboken, and the 

 Hinode Florist Co., of Whitestone, still 

 make daily displays at the Plant Market. 

 The other members of the association 

 have withdrawn for the present, John 

 Scott and Louis Schmutz being the rear 

 guard January 13. The wisdom of open- 

 ing the market from six to six daily has 

 been fully demonstrated. Retailers do 

 their plant buying in the afternoon. 



It has not been generally known that 

 the Hinode Florist Co. is owned exclu- 

 sively by Miss Mills, who has been long 

 connected with the Yokohama Nursery 

 Co., but whose private enterprise and
