Now in crop with us. The quality was never finer. They are far 

 better than Beauties just now. We are cutting large quantities of 

 Maids, Brides and Richmonds and the finest crop of 

 Carnations we ever grew* :: s: :: » :: ::

John J. Foley had a large addition to 

 his regular trade this week because of 

 the Emerald ball. He is adding to the 

 scope of his floral photograph album 

 each season. 



Le Moult, on the Bowery, is opening a 

 branch of his famous headquarters in 

 the Bronx, near his residence. Mr. 

 Le Moult has been identified with the 

 florists' business almost since New York 

 was New Amsterdam. His landscape 

 work at his home in upper New York is 

 a remarkable accomplishment. Commenc- 

 ing with a perfectly level piece of ground 

 100 feet square, he has built hills and 

 dales and decorated with hedges and 

 trees until the transformation is the talk 

 of the town, his residence at the top 

 being as unique and attractive as the 

 landscaping. His downtown store is at 

 the terminus of the Williamsburg new 

 bridge and has been a landmark for sev- 

 eral generations. 



The plantsmen are busy. Eight weeks 

 only are left for Easter preparation. A 



good many orders are booked already, 

 the growers tell me. Most of them are 

 duplicates of 1907. 



The seedsmen are the first to feel the 

 throb of spring. Already the orders are 

 arriving encouragingly, and with no evi- 

 dence of loss of confidence in the good 

 times coming. The recovery from the 

 temporary and largely local depression 

 seems assured, and if the advance or- 

 ders and the success of the traveling 

 representatives are fair indications of 

 what is to be, we may look forward con- 

 fidently to .a splendid season's business.

The Market. 



St. Valentine's day was a pleasant one, 

 as well as the weather of the last week. 

 This was indeed a great help to business, 

 for violets, sweet peas and valley were 

 worn a great deal on the street without 

 freezing. Prom reports, business was be- 

 yond expectations, for all the violets in 



town were sgld by noon. However, sweet 

 peas and valley make a good valentine, 

 and a large quantity of this stock was 

 disposed of. Aside from the holiday 

 business, trade has been good. 



Various Notes. 



On February 14 the regular meeting of 

 the club was held at Saturn hall, here- 

 after to be the regular meeting place. 

 It was indeed gratifying to the old mem- 

 bers and a good incentive to the new, 

 for the attendance was large and as a 

 result applications for the admission of 

 twenty new members were received. On 

 account of the fiscal year ending soon, 

 and the necessity of electing new oflScers. 

 the applicants were elected as members 

 on the same night. 



All officers were present and a few 

 remarks by President Neubeck opened 

 the meeting. The regular order of busi- 

 ness ensued and nominations for oflBcers 

 for the year were received. At this point 

 Wallace Eiss gave a very interesting talk 

 on the manner in which the club had 

 been run and further stated that we
