the daily papers, with a lot of unfounded 

 conclusions by writers who cannot tell 

 a lily from a turnip. The cry of 

 "wolf" does not scare the local grow- 

 ers of perfect flowers at all. Even the 

 department stores will have nothing to 

 do with them. Funeral work is all 

 they deserve and all they get. It is an 

 appropriate finish. 



The Van Praag Co. opens its new 

 store on "West Fortieth street, near 

 Broadway and opposite the great New 

 York library, April 1. It is a large, 

 handsome store and is to be artistically 

 fitted up. 



There are to be some changes in the 

 wholesale district this spring, and some 

 surprises among them. The veteran, 

 James Hart, moves May 1 to 111 West 

 Thirtieth street, close to where he be- 

 gan selling cut flowers over thirty years 

 ago; and another of the younger, am- 

 bitious merchants has found his quarters 

 cramped and has branched out into a 

 full fledged wholesale nabob with an 

 entire floor. 



Joseph Leikens has rented the store 

 near the corner of Fifth avenue and 

 Fifty-sixth street, close to Hodgson's 



old stand, for a term of years and will 

 make this his headquarters immediately. 

 He will continue his store on East Thir- 

 ty-third street until spring, and also his 

 branch ut the Hotel Belmont, and will 

 open the Newport store early, in anticipa- 

 tion of a good season, among the duchess- 

 es and countesses .and princesses now ex- 

 pected to spend the summer there. 



James Mallon's Sons, Brooklyn, han- 

 dled over $2,000 worth of funeral work 

 in one day last week, wreaths, casket 

 covers and designs innumerable. Over 

 30,000 violets were purchased. The Brook- 

 lyn wholesalers. Bonnet & Blake and 

 W. H. Kuebler, were drawn upon to 

 the limit. 



"W. H. Kuebler joined the ranks of 

 the Knights Templar last week and was 

 bracing his nerves for the promised 

 ordeal. He hopes to recover in time 

 for the Easter rush, which is always 

 immense in every section of the city 

 of churches. 



Samuel A. Woodrow is away booking 

 plant orders for the Easter shipments 

 and meeting with fine success. 



The outing committee will meet at 

 W. E. Marshall's, Monday, April 13. 



Every member is requested to be pres- 

 ent. Important matters must then be 

 decided. 



William GriflSn, gardener for George 

 Gould, of Lakewood, N. J., died last 

 week, the funeral, March 30, being 

 largely attended. He was highly es- 

 teemed by the gardening fraternity and 

 a gentleman of wide experience and ster- 

 ling character. 



Among late visitors in New York were 

 E. W. Breed, of Clinton, Mass.; George 

 Shaffer, Washington; William J. Palmer, 

 of Buffalo, and Carl Jurgens, Jr., of 

 Newport, R. I. ; and a host of bulb sales- 

 men on their way to Europe, the major- 

 ity somewhat disappointed, they say, at 

 the decreased volume of business as com- 

 pared with 1907. 



Thirty cases of roses arrived March 

 28 for A. T. Boddington and most of 

 them this week will be on their way. The 

 firm has quadrupled its force of a year 

 ago. 



Charles Allen, of Queens, is on the 

 sick-list. If he is well enough he will 

 address the New York Florists' Club at 

 its next meeting. 



Frank Hicks & Co. will remove to 39
