The Weekly Florists' Review, 



April 23, 1908. 



— t — 



Easter of his life. The great store was 

 a dismantled sight Sunday morning, and 

 for several nights packing and shipping 

 were in constant progress. The combina- 

 tion baskets here were especially hand- 

 some. Much of the plant stock came 

 from his own greenhouses at New Eo- 

 chelle. 



It would take pages to list all the 

 retail artists of the metropolis. There 

 is nothing like them anywhere, in the 

 world. X 



Among the plant importations arriving 

 are many cases for Cleary 's Horticultural 

 Co., H. Prank Darrow, August Eolker 

 & Sons, William Elliott & Sons, F. E. 

 Pierson Co., Thorburn, Wadley & 

 Smythe and McHutchinson & Co. 



Paul Mattly, of Floral Park, Camp 

 Spring, Va., seven miles out of Washing- 

 ton, D. C, is in the city. His peony and 

 other stock is handled by Hicks & Co. 



The American Evergreen Co. is re- 

 ceiving large shipments of lilac from the 

 south. 



John A. Foley, manager for Lecakes 

 & Co., was rejoicing Good Friday be- 

 cause of the arrival of the stork with 

 a daughter. » 



At M. A. Bowe's a great Easter trade 

 was evident and the familiar face of 

 Arthur Merritt, as lieutenant, added 

 many a customer to Mr. Bowe's clientele. 



"Up at Van Praag's store on West 

 Fortieth street, Mr. Eosseau, long with 

 Fleischman, has transferred his allegi- 

 ance to the new venture. 



Samuel A. Woodrow had a vigorous 

 day and night Easter, shipping large 

 numbers of plants out of town, in ad- 

 dition to an extensive local trade. 



All the supply men acknowledge a good 

 Easter, with many shipments and a spe- 

 cial call for baskets of new design, 



James Hart is busy with a string of 

 hotels he decorates and cares for that 

 will keep him hustling through the 

 season. 



Bosens is handling large shipments of 

 wild smilax. 



Mr. Baldwin, of Carrillo & Baldwin, 

 Becaucus, says the orchid has held its 

 own all through the season and that his 

 firm is importing more heavily than 

 ever. 



A. J. Guttman has taken a long lease 

 of the big store at 34 West Twenty- 

 eighth street, whi^h, with the basement, 

 gives about 5,00& square feet of space, 

 ample room for more progress of the 

 kind which has marked Mr. Guttman 's 

 career as a wholesale distributor of cut 

 flowers. 



George Saltford, now at 46 West Twen- 

 ty-ninth street, will move to 43 West 

 Twenty-eighth street June 1, the fine 

 store now occupied by A, J. Guttman, 

 next door to Millftng Bros., "and Walter 

 Sheridan, and just across the way from 

 •McManus and Traendly & Schenck's 

 and Ford Bros. This is centralization 

 with a vengeance.
