abundant, and of bulbous stock there 

 was no end. But carnations were scarce 

 and prices stiff. If this warm, sunny 

 weather continues, there will be some 

 shortages by Easter that will make 

 present quotations blush. 



The plantsmen are about sold out. 

 Everything at medium prices, and per- 

 fect, is gone. The greenhouses were full 

 of buyers last week, local and out-of- 

 town florists. I saw them everywhere. 

 They all are expecting a good Easter 

 and buying accordingly. 



Varioui Notes. 



The Van Praag Co., of West For- 

 tieth street, bought the fixtures of the 

 Van Praag store on Broadway at the 

 auction last week at a considerable re- 

 duction from their original cost. 



Ford Bros., like many of the whole- 

 . sale cut flower men, handle a large num- 

 ber of blooming plants in pots. Their 

 specialties in this line are lilies and 

 violets. 



In addition to the exhibits already 



announced for the New York Florists' 

 Club meeting Monday evening, April 

 13, W. A. Manda will show the Chero- 

 kee rose and other interesting plants, 

 and other local artists will exMbit nov- 

 elties, so that a great show and a record 

 crowd is assured at the club's home- 

 coming to the rooms in the Grand Opera 

 House building. 



T. Melstrom, of Sander & Sons, is in 

 the city to remain until after Easter. 



April 1 was the thirty-second anni- 

 versary at W. H. Siebrecht's at As- 

 toria. 



Harry Hoffmeyer made some heavy 

 purchases for his new store at Atlantic 

 City. He has several big orders for 

 Easter decorations there, one of over 

 $1,000, at one of the swell hotels of the 

 great resort. 



Suzuki & Satow, at Woodside, have 

 fine lilies. E. Dreyer's new plant is full 

 of fine hydrangeas, azaleas and roses, 

 all sold, he says. The big range of 

 Anton Schultheis is bursting with roses, 

 lilies and azaleas and about every va- 

 riety of Easter plant. His record rovers 



over twenty years of Long Island flori- 

 culture. Anton, Jr., is now bookkeeper 

 for the firm. Mr. Schultheis seems very 

 optimistic and predicts a complete 

 clean-up for Easter. The plantsmen at 

 Whitestone, and also those at Flatbush 

 and in Jersey, speak in the same cheer- 

 ful tone as to the holiday outlook, and 

 after the Easter rush, if there be any 

 surplus, the auction outlet was never in 

 better working order, and in addition to 

 the regular Tuesday and Friday sales 

 at deary's and Elliott's, there are 

 sales every morning at 9 o'clock in the 

 rooms of the Fruit Auction Co., on 

 Franklin street, where the crowd and 

 interest are growing daily. The outlook 

 is especially bright for the future of 

 plant growers in and around New York. 



Arbutus, that certain harbinger of 

 the vernal season, is already in the re- 

 tail windows. 



Samuel Woodrow is back from his 

 New England trip, with a well-filled 

 order book which will call for day 

 and night shipping. 



The Hotel Knickerbocker has an up-
