aging outlook. This seems to be con- 

 curred in hj all the men who build for 

 florists, every firm on this line of work 

 having many orders booked. 



The Cleary Horticultural Co. will open 

 its auction season about the middle of 

 March, with Ambrose Cleary in com- 

 mand. The firm has just completed the 

 furnishing of its offices on Vesey street, 

 and their importations of nursery stock, 

 bulbs, etc., will be on a larger scale than 

 ever before. 



Maltus & Ware, at 14 Stone street, are 

 -headquarters for the European bulb men 

 now on their western travels. 



Henry & Lee have caught the decora- 

 tive inspiration and have a fine office in 

 a modern building. Mr. Henry has just 

 returned from a western trip and Mr. 

 Fulton, from Japan. 



Weiss & Son, One Hundred and Sixty- 

 second street, have opened a branch 

 store at 1 East Forty-first street, corner 

 of Fifth avenue, one block from Wad- 

 ley & Smythe's. 



The sympathy of the trade is tendered 

 James McManus in the death of his 

 father. 



Macintosh, the retailer, will vacate the 

 store he now occupies May 1, and will 

 move to the corner of Broadway and 

 Forty-seventh street, close to the Hotel 

 Astor, and a splendid location. 



W. A. Burnham, of Lord & Burnham 

 Co., sailed for Europe February 19. 



C. W. Ward has returned home after 

 a trip of three weeks in the south. 



A fire at Oceanic, N. J., February 19, 

 destroyed the barns and injured the 

 Bliss greenhouses, where the popular 

 gardener, Nicholas Butterback, is in 

 charge. Great loss was prevented by 



his work, in which his face and hands 

 were badly burned. 



The Rapp Horticultural Building Co. 

 has been incorporated, with a capital 

 stock of $10,000. The incorporators are 

 Roy I. Rapp and William J. McCormick, 

 both of this city, and William C. Lange, 

 College Point, N. Y. 



Arthur T. Boddington's representa- 

 tives bring back the most inspiring re- 

 ports as to the general prosperity of the 

 country and the continued call for all 

 horticultural supplies. To talk with these 

 gentlemen of the road is a sure cure 

 for pessimism. H. Frank Darrow, the 

 importer, talks in a similar strain after 

 his trip among his customers. 



F. W. 0. Schmitz, of Prince Bay, ex- 

 pects the biggest season in his career. 



The Rickards Bros, have had a strenu- 

 ous winter. Some wonderful totals of 

 daily sales, which I have seen, would 

 open your eyes. It is a cold banquet 

 that is not followed by a filled order 

 book. Music hath charms. Their lieu- 

 tenant, Frank Duggan, is celebrating 

 this month his twentieth anniversary 

 with the house. 



The Stumpp & Walter Co. was never 

 in such perfect readiness to serve the 

 interests of its customers as this season. 

 The big store at 50 Barclay street has 

 been remodeled since last year's rush 

 time. 



H. H. Berger & Co. are thoroughly 

 established in their new store at 70 War- 

 ren street and the rush already has be- 

 gun with them. 



H. Kenney, in Brooklyn, reports a big 

 call for sphagnum moss. 



O. V. Zangen, in Hoboken, reports 

 that so far the season is far ahead of 



any year at the same date since he es- 

 tablished his business. 



Joseph S. Fenrich is himself again. 

 The attempt to change the course of a 

 trolley car with one's head is a mis- 

 take. 



Reed & Keller have something new in 

 their windows in the line of Pompeian 

 statuary vases. Their only complaint is 

 of slow collections. 



Frank S. Hicks & Co. are kicking for 

 more room. Mr. Van Riper is an able 

 lieutenant and as well known through his 

 celebrated "points" as any man in the 

 trade. 



Russin & Hanfling, the basket and sup- 

 ply men, are well satisfied with the 

 winter's results. They do a large ship- 

 ping trade in sheaves and fancy baskets. 



The new firm, D. Smith & Co., say 

 business is satisfactory. They expect to 

 be in the swim for Easter. 



John P. Scherer now makes his head- 

 quarters at Union Hill, N. J., where he 

 resides. 



Bonnet & Blake, of Brooklyn, were close 

 to the big fire in the Brooklyn city hall 

 last week, but escaped loss. This house 

 and that of W. H. Kuebler, on Willough- 

 by street, are both growing rapidly. 



The Geller Florist Supply Co. has the 

 largest show room of any supply house 

 in New York and claims an ever increas- 

 ing volume of business. 



B. Rosens, the Angelas bell inventor, 

 has developed a large trade in greens, 

 as well as in florists' supplies, and says 

 he has found his aggregate of sales in- 

 creasing every month since he began. 



Samuel A. Woodrow has been shipping 

 plants daily to New England points since
