convention will be heard and some of the 

 family of prize winning blooms exhib- 

 ited. Full particulars concerning the an- 

 nual dinner will be unfolded by Chair- 

 man Sheridan and an attendance of less 

 than 100 at the banquet will be a great 

 disappointment to the new officers and 

 no credit to the organization. It is time 

 there should be a demonstration of en- 

 thusiasm and harmony, as in the old 

 days. The decorations and service will 

 be an honor to the society and the enter- 

 tainment features are to be in keeping 

 with the club's reputation, as usual. 



The Greek- American Florists' and 

 Growers' Association held its first an- 

 nual ball and reception last Friday even- 

 ing, January 31. A large sum was real- 

 ized for the Greek school of New York. 

 The attendance was gratifying to Presi- 

 dent George D. Nicholas and his com- 

 mittee, many of the Greek wholesale and 

 retail florists being on his staff. These 

 men of Athens know how to make a suc- 

 cess of everything they undertake, from 

 outings to receptions. Over 3,000 tickets 

 were sold and in the crowd were many 

 of the leading wholesale and retail flo- 

 rists of the city. 



Hitchings & Co. are at last safely 

 housed in their new quarters on Spring 

 street, Elizabeth, N. J., where their gen- 

 eral offices and immense new factory are 

 located. Never before has this firm en- 

 joyed so good facilities for the extensive 

 and growing business. 



The Fleischman Diocletian Baths at 

 Sixth avenue and Forty-second street 

 open to the public this week. J. Fleisch- 

 man is the president of the company and 

 Herman Warendorff one of the officials. 

 An immense sun bath on the roof occu- 

 pies 50,000 square feet of space and is 



beautified by palms, blooming plants and 

 statuary. It is the most complete and 

 enterprising accomplishment of its kind 

 on earth. 



I. S. Hendrickson, with John Lewis 

 ChUds, who was operated upon for ap- 

 pendicitis, has passed through the ordeal 

 successfully and is now rapidly recov- 

 ering. Walter Sheridan, who escaped 

 disaster by a similar route, has fully re- 

 gained his health. Several of the whole- 

 salers in New York and elsewhere are 

 quite corpulent enough to test this med- 

 ical voyage of exploration. Those who 

 have made the trip do not, however, rec- 

 ommend it. 



A. J. Guttman has been suffering from 

 a bone felon on his thumb. It gave him 

 little sleep for several nights. 



Joseph Fenrich has recovered from 

 the effects of his collision with the trol- 

 ley, narrowly escaping the loss of an eye 

 in the encounter. 



J. K. Allen has had a battle with neu- 

 ralgia that has made life hardly worth 

 living. 



A good many retail florists are alive to 

 the fact that St. Valentine's day comes 

 to town next Friday, February 14. Those 

 who do some catchy advertising will reap 

 the benefit. More and more the day is 

 growing popular as a gift-giving occa- 

 sion, especially with the young folks. 

 Boxes of flowers are the popular method 

 of salutation. The $1, $2 and $3 boxes 

 of cut flowers sell the best. "We have 

 some Broadway florists who make a spe- 

 cialty of these boxes frequently during 

 the year and they sell rapidly at all 

 times. 



The store at 41 West Twenty-eighth 

 street, long used by Thos. Young, Jr., as 

 a wholesale and retail center, has been 



leased to Charles Millang, the wholesale 

 florist of West Twenty-ninth street, who 

 has purchased the elaborate furnishings 

 and will take possession immediately. 

 The location is considered one of the 

 most desirable in the city. 



We are all proud of the success of our 

 carnation experts, Messrs. Ward, Pier- 

 son, Cockcroft, Weber and Eeimels, who 

 won gold and bronze medals and first 

 and second prizes too numerous to men- 

 tion at the Washington carnation con- 

 vention. AU who were at Washington 

 are loud in their praises of the exhibi- 

 tion and delighted with their reception 

 and the uniform courtesy and care given 

 them by their brother florists. 



The dinner of the Nassau County Hor- 

 ticultural Society at Glen Cove January 

 29 was a great success. The attendance 

 was an even fifty and from 5 p. m. un- 

 til 10 p. m. the fun was fast and furious. 

 The retiring president, Mr. McKenzie, 

 was presented with a handsome memento 

 of the society's respect, to which he 

 feelingly responded. Nearly every one 

 present did his share to add to the 

 evening's enjoyment. The Eickards 

 brothers were full of music and sang all 

 their new songs and many of their old- 

 time melodies. President Adolph Jaen- 

 necke gave the opening address. Mr. 

 Lenker's toast was "Harmony." Vice- 

 president W. H. Marshall, of the New 

 York Florists' Club; spoke eloquently 

 for that society. Mr. Scott, of Tarry- 

 town, and Joseph Manda, of Orange, 

 responded to toasts and Mr. Sperling, 

 of the Stumpp & Walter Co., made a hit 

 with "The Gardener as I Have Found 

 Him. ' ' Other speakers included Mr. Mac- 

 Farlane, of Tarrytown; Mr. Burnett, the 

 New York seedsman, and others. James
