theae criticisms and descriptions grow 

 more human and interesting as the space- 

 writers learn to be accurate and sensible. 



Many beautiful floral pieces were seen 

 last week at the funeral of Langdon 

 Smithy one of the greatest of newspaper 

 men in this country. The most beautiful 

 was a wreath by Weir with the motto, 

 ''And what man shall say we shall not 

 live again t" 



Among the distinguished visitors in 

 New York last week was the enthusiastic 

 lady who presides over the destinies of 

 the Eaton Flower Shop, Chicago, accom- 

 panied by Charles M. Balloff, who is here 

 selecting stock for the Easter trade. 



David S. Adams, of Thorburn's force 

 the last eight years, and for twelve years 

 with the Peter Henderson Co., has just 

 recovered from a four weeks' tussle with 

 scarlet fever. 



There have been meetings of cama- 

 tionists and rosarians during the last few 

 weeks, about which yet hovers an alt- 

 mosphere of mystery. After Easter the 

 enigma will be solved, doubtless. 



Ford Bros, have some grand daisy 

 plants in 10-inch and 12-inch pots, in full 

 flower, grown by McMillan & Sons, of 

 Hudson Heights, N. J., and lilies and 

 large pans of hyacinths from E. J. Tay- 

 lor, of Southport, L. I. 



Millang Bros, have secured the big 

 store above their present headquarters 

 and have a grand display of Easter 

 plants. 



Horace Froment is handling the aza- 

 leas, rambler roses and lilies grown by 

 the Hinode Florist Co., of Whitestone. 



John Young has John Scott's lilies, 

 ferns and gardenias in pots and Leach 

 Bros.' geranium stock. 



Bowling. 



In an eflfort to acquire proficiency it 

 has been determined to secure more per- 

 fect alleys for practice and the Thum 

 alleys on Broadway and Thirtieth streets 

 will probably be the scene of conflict 

 next Friday. Last week the two games 

 for the Traendly transportation resulted 

 as follows:

Caroline E. Scallen, 1242 Broadway, 

 has filed a petition in bankruptcy, with 

 liabilities of $8,303 and assets of $4,531, 

 consisting of stock, $200; three delivery 

 wagons, $750; fixtures, $10,000, and ac- 

 counts, $2,581. Among the creditors are: 

 Mrs. Robert Stafford, $1,635; George 

 Schlegel, $1,098; John L Eaynor, $575; 

 A. J. Guttman, $531 ; Julius Eoehrs Co., 

 $460, and Walter F. Sheridan, $349. The 

 business was started many years ago by 

 her husband, who died in February, 1903, 

 and she has carried it on since. The 

 bankruptcy is attributed to trade going 

 farther uptown and inability to collect 

 accounts. 



LowviLLE, N. Y. — William R. Keay 

 has removed his greenhouse to the Scott 

 place, where he will have the use of the 

 spacious greenhooses, with entrance from 

 Easton street, and will continue the busi- 

 ness which he established in his previous 

 location.

The Market. 



There was nothing of special note go- 

 ing on last week. Among several of 

 the leading retailers quite a bit of funer- 

 al work was made up, but outside of 

 this not much was going on in the cut 

 flower line, though blooming plants were 

 selling well. As to Easter stock at the 

 wholesale houses, it is difficult at this 

 writing to say how stock is going to 

 be or how good trade is going to be. 

 The prospects are, though, that Ulies will 

 be in plenty, both in cut flowers and 

 plants. In made up plants, styles will 

 not vary much from those of last year. 



Last week the wholesalers experienced 

 a lot of trouble in disposing of their 



consignments, which were large, while 

 the demand was slow. In fact, every- 

 thing in season was in the market in full 

 supply. The rush this week will not 

 beg^n till near the end of the week and 

 they are looking for light shipments 

 until that time. They believe there will 

 be plenty to fill all orders that are 

 booked. 



Qub Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Club was held Thursday after- 

 noon, April 9. The meeting was not 

 so well attended as usual, owing to most 

 of the members being busy at this time 

 of the year. The meeting opened 

 promptly at 2 o'clock, with fourteen 

 members present and with President 

 Young in the chair. After the different
