PETER REINBERG 



1,680,000 feet of Modern Glass 



51 Wabash Avenue, CHICAGO 





ary 27, one 15 and one 6 years of age, by 

 a. reception to about fifty young folks of 

 Ocean avenue. 



Mrs. John Raynor has been seriously ill 

 with pneumonia. Her recovery is hoped 

 for.. 



Joseph Fenrich has been unable to at- 

 tend to business during the last week, the 

 result of a serious accident from a col- 

 lision with a street-car. It was a narrow 

 escape, it is reported, but he is out of 

 danger and will be back in his office be- 

 fore the week is over. 



Nicholas Cocaliaries has sold his inter- 

 est in the firm of N. Lecakes & Co. to the 

 other three members of the organization. 

 This firm has been very prosperous and 

 has built up a large business, not only 

 in green goods but cut flowers, under the 

 able management of John Foley. 



The Wholesale Cut Flower Association 

 reports most gratifying results to date, 

 with no withdrawals and every prospect 

 of including every wholesaler in the 

 business in due time. The combination 

 may be safely characterized as a perfect 

 success. The majority of the retailers 

 now give it their unqualified approbation. 



The wholesale plant market is holding 

 its own. Some of those who withdrew 

 temporarily during the dull weeks after 

 Christmas are returning. Greater efforts 

 to have the plants on exhibition fresh 

 and frequently renewed are made, and 

 gradually, since the sensible hour of clos- 

 ing has been advanced from noon to 4 

 p. m., the retailers are beginning to ap- 

 preciate the convenience. With the ad- 

 vent of spring and the approach of Eas- 

 ter, the plant market will take on new 

 life. 



Mr. Bennie, who was expected to take 

 a position as manager with a New York 



seed house, has accepted an offer from a 

 Boston firm, and J. E. Eussell, formerly 

 with Vaughan's Seed Store, has joined 

 the force of W. W. Rawson & Co., of 

 Boston. 



Mr, Chadwick, formerly with Thorburn, 

 has accepted a position with a seed store 

 on Barclay street. New York. 



Robert G. Wilson has had a wonder- 

 fully successful winter with weddings, re- 

 ceptions and funeral work, his big force 

 being kept continually busy. His store 

 at the corner of Greene avenue and Ful- 

 ton street is far ahead of any Brooklyn 

 store in beauty and convenience and ar- 

 tistic decoration. While his greenhouses 

 on Greene avenue are now completely re- 

 fitted with the Wilson concrete patent 

 benches and under the management of 

 G. E. Layton, formerly with Dummett & 

 Wagner, of Mount Vernon, this branch is 

 proving a most profitable venture. 



Last week T. Wahlgren, a gardener on 

 the estate of James Burden, Jr., West- 

 bury, L. I., was shot in a desperate fight 

 with a burglar and was reported dying 

 in the Nassau County hospital, in Mine- 

 ola. 



The American Nursery Co. has been in- 

 corporated here, by Frederick W. Kelsey, 

 Theodore Foulk and William Flemer. The 

 authorized capital is $100,000. 



A corporation has been formed by 

 Elizabeth Mackintosh, James Malone and 

 C. A. Flynn, with a capital of $2,500. 



At the store of A. M. Henshaw a large 

 plate glass window was broken by a fall- 

 ing safe, causing a loss of about $200. 



The Szechenyi-Vanderbilt wedding is 

 all over. The Rosery officiated as floral 

 decorator. The count ordered his bride's 

 bouquet and bridesmaids' muffs at Thor- 

 ley's. The bridal shower bouquet was of 



white orchids and gardenias. The muffs 

 were made of acacia blossoms, suggestive 

 of ostrich plumes and the court flower of 

 Hungary. It is interesting to read the 

 metropolitan dailies' description of the 

 floral decorations. Apart from the fact 

 that an avenue of large palms and a bank 

 and grotto of the same were used, with 

 some thousands of lavender orchids at- 

 tached in charming decorative effects, the 

 rest may be left to the imagination. 



A. T. Boddington's numerous salesmen 

 report a most successful canvass, with op- 

 timism everywhere, and the business out- 

 look is encouraging. This seems to be 

 the verdict of all the seedsmen of New 

 York. 



Never have such beautiful catalogues 

 been sent out, and never so many as are 

 being mailed this season. 



Evidently this branch of horticulture 

 has faith in the country and its resources 

 and is preparing for a busy year. The 

 financial skies grow clearer weekly. The 

 money situation is no longer a menace to 

 enterprise and legitimate business again 

 receives the confidence to which it is en- 

 titled. The panic and the agitation of a 

 presidential year together cannot stem 

 the tide of this nation's prosperity and 

 progress. 



F. W. O. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, has 

 received in fine condition his big impor- 

 tation of azaleas from ten to eighteen 

 inches in size, well shaped and true to 

 name, and all the popular varieties. 



A. T. Boddington has a quarter of a 

 million cannas of every popular shade 

 and variety for this season's demand. 



H. H. Berger & Co. report a rapidly 

 growing business and their sales of tuber- 

 ous-rooted begonias, caladiums, gladioli 

 and gloxinias are far beyond any former
