of lilacs and apple blossoms. So are 

 Cotsonas & Cd., Lecakes & Co. and the 

 American Evergreen Co., all far more 

 than they have handled in any past sea- 

 son. Many wedding decorations have 

 used the flowering shrubs and tree limbs 

 profusely. 



Samuel Woodrow has disposed of a 

 fine importation of bay trees, boxwood, 

 aucubas and phoenix. He has just filled 

 a large decorative order at the swell St. 

 Regis hotel. 



George Saltford moves next week to 

 43 West Twenty-eighth street, one of 

 the finest wholesale cut flower stores in 

 New York. His son, Clarence, has long 

 been associated with him. They have 

 added largely already to their list of 

 growers since their intended move was 

 announced in the columns of the Re- 

 view some weeks ago. Mr. Saltford was 

 born in Wales in 1850, so he is a young 

 man yet. His apprenticeship was with 

 Veitch & Son, of Chelsea, London, Eng- 



land. He also worked in other large 

 places in Europe, among them that of 

 the Earl of Denbigh. In 1872 he came 

 to America and located in Rhinebeck, 

 where he has a fine property overlooking 

 the Hudson. He wrote the book, "How 

 to Make Money Growing Violets," and 

 has 25,000 feet of glass devoted to vio- 

 let culture, where his son George now 

 presides. Mr. Saltford has been in the 

 wholesale cut flower business on Twen- 

 ty-ninth street for ten years. The move 

 is well advised and success will be 

 greatly increased on Twenty-eighth 

 street, where concentration is much in 

 evidence. 



A garden of the Louis XV style is to 

 be built for the great Plaza hotel. The 

 big dining-room and Mfth avenue ter- 

 race is to be utilized for the purpose. 

 The garden will be opened June 5. 

 Natural flowers and plants will be used 

 in profusion, the cost to be $25,000. 

 It is the most ambitious floricultural 



project the hotels have ever attempted. 



Arbor day last week was generally 

 observed by the city schools. 



Arthur T. Boddington is putting on 

 the market an edging knife, the inven- 

 tion of F. Heather, gardener for A. K. 

 Vanderbilt, Jr. The Rickards Bros., 

 Thorburn, Elliott and the Stumpp & 

 Walter Co. are also handling it, and the 

 sales are said to be large. 



Harry Bunyard is enjoying a rest in 

 the south, after one of the most strenu- 

 out seasons in his career. The sad news 

 of his brother Stewart's death reached 

 him last week from southern Australia. 



B. Rosens has a considerable quantity 

 of wild smilax in a cold storage ware- 

 house. 



Charles Schenck, of Traendly & 

 Schenck, is receiving congratulations be- 

 cause of the visit of the stork last week 

 with a daughter. 



Walter Mott, who has been with A. 

 T. Boddington, has accepted the posi-
