his successful canvass of a few weeks 

 ago. 



Ford Bros, have handled an enormous 

 aggregate of carnations during the last 

 month, some days as many as 20,000 

 reaching their headquarters. 



H. Suzuki, of the Yokohama Nursery 

 Co., is in the city, his first visit to Nev? 

 York, and will remain for some weeks 

 before visiting Europe. 



William Elliott & Sons will move on 

 May 1 to new and more extensive quar- 

 ters on Vesey street. For three years 

 they have patiently endured the incon- 

 venience entailed by the building of the 

 McAdoo tunnel, only to have rents 

 doubled as a reward for patient submis- 

 sion on its completion. The new store, 

 however, is only a block away from their 

 headquarters since 1905, and a long lease 

 makes further changes improbable. 



Next week Hanft Bros, move to their 

 new store on Madison avenue and Sixty- 

 second street. 



C. Myer, at Fifty-seventh street and 

 Madison avenue, is now practically mon- 

 arch of all he surveys at his important 

 corner. 



Fred Smythe, of the firm of Wadley & 

 Smythe, Fifth avenue and Forty-second 

 street, left on Thursday, accompanied by 

 his mother, for a pleasure trip in Eu- 

 rope. Mr. Smythe now controls four nur- 

 series in the vicinity of New York, and 

 does a large business in landscape plant- 

 ing, his greatest achievement being the 

 laying out and planting of the McKinley 

 memorial grounds at Canton. 



David Clarke's Sons are already pre- 

 paring their announcements for the great 

 day of the retail florists' year and an- 

 ticipate the usual success. Financial de- 

 pression makes but little headway in re- 

 ducing the aggregate of monthly sales 

 with this old-time establishment. 



George M, Stumpp, of Fifth avenue 

 and Fifty-eighth street, decorated a new 

 restaurant on Fulton street last week, 

 with wild smilax, evergreens, flowering 

 plants and cut flowers in most artistic 

 and elaborate style. 



Philip Kessler was appointed a dele- 

 gate by the wholesale element of the 

 Cbogan building to represent it at the 

 b&ll of the French students at Madison 

 Square garden Friday evening last. No 

 one could have made a higher record. 



Hugh Nelson, of Perkins & Nelson, 

 has been on the sick list for a week, and 



has lots of company, 



J. Austin Shaw. 



PLYMOUTH, IND. 



The Argos Floral & Plant Co., of Ar- 

 gos, is preparing to grow large quanti- 

 ties of vegetable plants, which find a 

 market in their own and the surround- 

 ing towns. They have a nice, clean stock 

 of carnations and other flowers and are 

 having a good trade on them. 



Jacob Jordan, at Plymouth, grows let- 

 tuce in his greenhouse in the winter 

 months. He is now getting his cabbage, 

 tomato and other vegetable plants 

 started. He supplies the stores here 

 and at Bremen with vegetable plants in 

 flats. He is planning to grow more than 

 usual this season. His business is mar- 

 ket gardening and vegetable plants. 



George Nagle is making his usual prep- 

 arations for the coming season. He has 

 been the leading market gardener here 

 for years. His garden is always scrupu- 

 lously clean and he knows how to put 

 his products in attractive shape to sell 

 from the wagon.
