to-date floral department under its pres- 

 ent management. Some great decora- 

 tions are planned for the near future, 

 the Jefferson dinner the crowning demo- 

 cratic feature of them all. 



M. A. Bowe does more business in 

 less space than possibly any other re- 

 tailer in the country, and yet his loca- 

 tion is as desirable as any in the 

 United States. 



John King Duer -will have a fine 

 Easter exhibit in the big area under his 

 care in the rear of his fine store on 

 Madison avenue. J. J. Coan, the man- 

 ager, says it will be a splendid Easter. 



At Bloomingdale 's, Wallace Burnham 

 has a flower show that ought to crowd 

 the great roof conservatories. He says 

 everything points to the best Easter 

 ever known. 



Bobbink & Atkins and the Julius 

 Roehrs Co. report that the houses at 

 Rutherford have been crowded with 

 buyers for weeks and before April 15 

 about everything will be away. 



Donohoe's new store on Twenty- 

 eighth street gives him the best facili- 

 ties for Easter he ever has enjoyed. 

 There are few handsomer stores in the 

 metropolis. 



David Clarke 's Sons have made great- 

 er preparations for Easter than in any 

 of the sixty years they have been in 

 business. 



This is Alex. McConnell's second 

 Easter in his Arcade store, where re- 

 sults have demonstrated the wisdom of 

 his move. For Easter the overflow will 

 have branch stores as usual. 



Young & Nugent maintain their rep- 

 utation for artistic window decoration 

 in the heart of the wholesale district. 

 John B. Nugent 's hand has not lost its 

 cunning. 



G. Myer, on Madison avenue, has a 

 handsome window display at all times, 

 but it is particularly beautiful this 

 week, with Easter suggestions and nov- 

 elties. 



Siebrecht & Son were fortunate In 

 the move for Easter, and permanently, 



to their new store on Fifth avenue, in 

 the Siebrecht building. The height and 

 depth of the window make decorative 

 work here particularly effective. 



Fred Smythe is back from Elirope in 

 time to welcome the usual Easter display 

 of Walsh's rambler roses. 



Thomas Young, Jr., will enjoy this 

 Easter beyond any of the last decade. 

 He has concentrated all his interests at 

 500 Fifth avenue, except his plant at 

 Boundbrook, where gardenias are his 

 specialty. 



N. Lecakes & Co. have been incorpo- 

 rated, with an authorized capital of 

 $9,000, to grow and deal in plants and 

 flowers. The incorporators are David U. 

 Page, Richard I. Calus and Donald P. 

 Haynie. 



Wertheimer Bros, say that their business 

 with florists was never better, especially 

 with those located in the middle west. 

 They say that the number of reorders 

 by mail indicate that the florists them- 

 selves are doing a good business and 

 have used up stock bought, in some in- 

 stances, for the Easter business. They 

 have found special offers of staple rib- 

 bons a good way of establishing pleasant 

 and mutually profitable relations with 

 many whom their travelers have not 

 called upon. 



The American Evergreen Co., 52 West 

 Twenty-eighth street, is handling arbutus 

 and lilac in abundance. Over 3,000,000 

 dagger ferns and 800,000 fancy ferns 

 are in storage. 



Peter Crowe, of Utica, is in the city 

 and will spend several days with John 

 Raynor and his other wholesale friends 

 before a trip to Boston. 



The wholesale cut flower house of D. 

 Smith & Co. has disintegrated and not 

 a vestige of it remains. 



Latest reports from the venerable 

 Charles Allen, who has been suffering 

 from an attack of pneumonia, are en- 

 couraging and hopes are entertained for 

 his recovery.
