serymen in and around New York will 

 journey to the annual convention of the 

 American Association at Milwaukee, so 

 that altogether it will be a strenuous 

 floricultural and horticultural week, with 

 events of far-reaching importance to 

 the general trade. 



Brooklyn Retailers Organize. 



The Brooklyn Eetail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation has been organized with fifty 

 members. The oflBcers are as follows: 

 President, Robert Wilson; treasurer, Jo- 

 seph Mallon; secretary, J, V. Phillips. 

 Weekly meetings will be held and it is 

 hoped to do much for the advancement 

 of the trade in Brooklyn. 



Various Notes. 



George Saltford is greatly delighted 

 with his new quarters on Twenty-eighth 

 street and tells me he has already added 

 ten new growers to his staff. The store 

 is a model of convenience and the new 

 occupant knows how to grow more than 

 violets. 



H. E. Smith, of Hazleton, Pa., has 

 sold his store at 50 West Twenty-ninth 

 street to James Blauvelt, who will con- 

 tinue it as a wholesale and retail center 

 as usual. Mr. Blauvelt has had many 

 years' experience in both departments. 



E. G. Hill passed through New York 

 last week on his way to Gay Paree, where, 

 as a learned judge, he will make de- 

 cisions at the international rose show 

 now in progress. Mr. Hill should bring to 

 the convention the result of his latest 

 observations of the new fashions, in Lon- 

 don, where real flowers have become the 

 fashionable fad, after their use last sea- 

 son as a novelty, and where flower ruf- 

 fles, theater muflfs, flower boas and fans

made of real blossoms are seen. Straw 

 hats are said to be trimmed with wreaths 

 of roses, violets and wallflowers and 

 florists there have standing orders to 

 furnish the fragile hat trimmings every 

 morning as regularly as flowers for the 

 dinner table. 



F. H. Traendly, of Traendly & 

 Schenck, says he hears some Pennsyl- 

 vania wholesale florists are shipping cut 

 flowers direct to prominent retailers in 

 New York with the understanding that 

 they pay for what they sell. This would 

 be a new departure with a vengeance. 

 There must be some fire where smoke 

 is detected by an accomplished fireman. 



John Scott's lieutenant at Flatbush, 

 David McKenzie, will spend his holiday 

 at his old home in Scotland. 



Joseph Leikens has a fine new store 

 at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fourth street, 

 the old Hodgson headquarters, and has 

 carried his Thirty-third street smile up 



with him. He has a fine opportunity here 

 for striking window work. His Belmont 

 hotel store is a success and he opens as 

 usual this month in Newport, R. I. 



A. M. Henshaw is entertaining his 

 sister and Mr. Britton, from England. 



Messrs. Farquhar and Welch, of Bos- 

 ton, and Peter Bisset, of Washington, 

 were recent visitors in New York. 



The early closing movement has be- 

 gun. The New York Cut Flower Co., 

 in the Coogan building, started its 3 

 p. m. lock-up June 1. Many other whole- 

 salers will join in this wise and gen- 

 erous decision, and later on it will be 

 1 p. m. with the majority. 



The auction sales continue daily and 

 semi-weekly with prolonged success and 

 will last well into June. 



Alex McConnell is back at his desk 

 again. He sent some elaborate floral 

 work to Cincinnati last week, filling a 

 car. Mr. Scott, his New York lieutenant,
