 Dear Sir: 



I take pleasure to inform you that I have an enormous stock of 

 WIRE DESIGNS, such as Pillows, Standing Crosses, Standing Wreaths, 

 etc., which on account of the recent financial disturbance compels 

 their immediate disposal at the following Cut Prices: 



Flat Wreaths, 16 to 20 inches, at 5c. Standing wreaths, 16 and 

 18 inches, at 15c. Flat Crosses, 10 to 24 inches, at 5c. Standing 

 Crosses, 24 inches, 15c, and 36 inches, 5 feet high, at 25c. Folding 

 Pillows, 18 to 24 inches, at 10c, etc., etc.; also Stands from 50c 

 up per dozen. 



These stands are made so that Florists can stand their own de- 

 signs. Shipments made to every part of the United States. 



Hoping that this will interest you and highly appreciating a 

 trial order, which shall have my personal attention, I am. 



Yours very truly, 



H. KENNEY.

 other advantages for conventionists. 



Professor L. C. Corbett, of Washing- 

 ton, delivered his interesting and exhaus- 

 tive lecture on "Soils," which appears 

 in this issue, and held the close attention 

 of his audience for an hour. A spirited 

 discussion followed, participated in by 

 Messrs. DuRie, Burnie, May, Hallock, 

 O'Mara and others and the thanks of the 

 club were heartily tendered Professor 

 Corbett. 



President Weathered oflfered a silver 

 cup to the new bowling club if it suc- 

 ceeded in capturing first prize at Niagara 

 Falls. 



Various Notes. 



Now come the auctions. William El- 

 liott & Sons open on St. Patrick's day, 

 March 17. Cleary's Horticultural Co., 

 on Vesey street, will commence distribu- 

 tion at the same time, and before the 

 ond of the month the Fruit Auction Co., 

 on Franklin street, will make a daily 7 



a. m. bid for the patronage of the plant 

 distributors, and so inaugurate a new 

 venture which is surely revolutionary, 

 but to which many of the leading grow- 

 ers seem to give their support. 



F. H. Traendly and John Young will 

 attend the rose show in Chicago March 

 25 to 27 and several others are likely 

 to join them. 



It has been good news to several flo- 

 rists whose funds have been tied up, that 

 the Knickerbocker Trust Co. will resume 

 March 27. 



H. E. Froment says he is receiving 

 nearly a thousand special Beauties a 

 day now. 



The Van Praag Florist Co. has been 

 incorporated with $500 capital stock. The 

 incorporators are Marcus Van Praag, 

 Edward Mclnnes and James F. Carroll. 



Knight & Struck have in view the con- 

 trol of the new cypripedium. Gay Gor- 

 don, for America. ' 



The holiday next Tuesday ought to 

 help business some. Notwithstanding 



the sentiment against colored things, the 

 green carnation will be much in evidence, 

 as well as shamrocks. 



Frederick W. Kelsey, of Orange, N. 

 J., the nurseryman, was hobnobbing with 

 governors last week at the opening of 

 the new tunnel between Jersey and New 

 York and at the banquet, at Sherry's, 

 in the evening. 



E. Howard Smith, of Hazleton, Pa., 

 has leased the Millang store, at 50 West 

 Twenty-ninth street, and engaged in the 

 wholesale plant business, with his son as 

 bookkeeper and J. H. Blauvelt as man- 

 ager. He will continue his retail busi- 

 ness in Hazleton. 



H. Kenney, of Brooklyn, is building 

 this summer in Flatbush a most con- 

 venient and extensive headquarters for 

 his wire design factory and for the stor- 

 age of moss, which he preserves in bur- 

 lap bales so there is no waste, always 

 having over a thousand of these on 

 hand.
