ises some surprises for the final outing 

 of the society. 



George Cotsonas & Co. have a big 

 force busy gathering fancy ferns. The 

 amount of galax, ferns and other prod- 

 ucts of the green goods men numbers 

 .many millions. 



Anton Schultheis and his sons are en- 

 joying a week of motor boating on the 

 sound. Mr. Schultheis' family is sum- 

 mering at Rockaway. The new green- 

 houses are well under way. 



Philip Einsman, treasurer of the New 

 York Cut Flower Exchange in the Coogan 

 building, has just returned from a seven 

 weeks' pleasure trip in Germany. 



George Allen, son of J. K. Allen, and 

 family have returned from a three 

 weeks' outing in the Catskills. The vet- 

 eran, J. K., and Mrs. Allen will make a 

 holiday of the convention. 



Sydney Wcrtheimer, of Wertheimer 

 Bros., is back from Europe and will be 

 at the Falls with a fine exhibit and 

 many novelties, the result of his trip to 

 France and the great ribbon factories of 

 the continent. 



George Hildebrand, of John Young's 

 force, is home from his summer rest in 

 the mountains with his family. 



Messrs. Hallock and Pierson visited 

 President Traendly last week and dis- 

 cussed their splendid work and progress 

 in relation to the school gardens, to- 

 gether with the active cooperation of 

 Dr. Crosby and Dr. Irne, of the Wash-t 

 ington Government Experimental Sta- 

 tion. A great deal of practical work 

 has been done by these gentlemen. 



Emil Schloss, of the Schloss Bros. 

 Kibbon House, vsas at the convention with 

 the firm's usual beautiful exhibit, and 

 larger than ever. Arthur Schloss has 

 lately entertained the stork on its first 

 visit to his home. The little lady has 

 a bom cinch on her ribbon necessities 

 for all the titoe. 



William H. Kuebler, the wholesale flo- 

 rist of Brooklyn, returned last week from 

 his outing in Germany, greatly bene- 

 fited by his trip. His experiences are 



interesting. , , , , 



George Saltford, the wholesaler of 



Twenty-eighth street, is still enjoying 



country life at his old home in Bhine- 



l36Ck 



Bussin & Hanfling were unpacking 

 their importations last week and among 

 them were many novelties in baskets 

 that should become popular with the re- 

 tail trade. 



Mrs. Sigmund Geller presented her 

 husband last week with a son, making 

 the quartette of olive branches complete. 



Weigel & UjfaluBsy, successors to Emil 



Steffius. of West Twouty-eighth street, 

 announce large shipments of supplies out 

 of town and have a great many country 

 florists on their books, whose patronage 

 for so many years indicates careful work 

 and satisfaction. They are both prac- 

 tical men. 



S. Jacobs & Sous, of Brooklyn, have 

 been busy all the season and are adding 

 to their force. They say business is 

 fully up to expectations and the outlook 

 encouraging. 



H. H. Berger & Co. have been^ busy 

 since the return of Mrs. Berger and Miss 

 Berger from Europe, and the fall busi- 

 ness has opened unusually early and in 

 volume ahead of any season in the firm's 

 experience. 



JuUus J. Heinricli, whose work at the 

 Jamestown exposition won such ])raise 

 for his artistic ability, is the artist who 

 creates and maintains the attractive 

 showing in the windows of Peter Hen- 

 derson & Co., on Cortlandt street. 



Boddington had a beautiful bulb 

 brochure at the Falls, with Harrj- Bun- 

 yard bestowing his boundless welcome to; 

 his friends from everywhere as usual. 



E. McKay Whiting, head of the Na- 

 tional Florists' Board of Trade, with 

 his bride, visited the convention. His 

 collecting agency has been of great 

 value to many a florist. 



Gunther Bros, are beautifying their 

 store and getting things in readiness for 

 the dahlia shipments, which will be, they 

 say, large this year. They have made a 

 specialty of the new and best varieties 

 of dahlias for several years and some 

 of the largest growers ship to them 

 daily in their season. 



Samuel A. Woodrow is still in Massa- 

 chusetts, recovering from the accident 

 that put him on the shelf. He will be 



l)ack at his desk September 1, and is im- 

 porting a lot of stock from Europe for 

 the fall trade. 



Ford Bros, have renovated and re- 

 decorated their big store and biggest 

 ice-box, as becometh a bridegroom, and 

 the fancy carnations will soon be pour- 

 ing in, as usual. Everything will have 

 to be fancy now that the junior member 

 of the firm has joined the majority. ■ 



Walter F. Sheridan keeps on the placid 

 tenor of his way and panics may come 

 and go, but the stream of Beauties and 

 high-class roses and carnations runs wide 

 and deep and constant. The special 

 train ran the steadier for his presence 

 and there is a whisper of oflScial timber 

 — if not this year, some year soon. 



Mr. Schenck allows his partner the 

 conventions, presidential honors and all 

 the tidbits of the business this year, 

 while he stays home in the heat and runs 

 things. Next year the shoe will be on 

 the other foot. 



A. L. Young has built up a large 

 business by strict attention to the de- 

 tails of his work and only needs room 

 to spread. His sample window is one 

 of the attractions of Twenty-eighth 

 street daily. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr., has got his land legs 

 on again after his voyage to the conti- 

 nent and does not care, he says, how 

 soon the violets bloom. 



Bonnot Bros, ship every day, winter 

 and summer, hot or cold, and the Coogan 

 building would be lonely without the 

 genial partner who presides there. 



Millang Bros, are handling shoals of 

 asters and August is proving a practical 

 manager and building up a confident 

 clientele that promises well for the fu- 

 ture. 



Rosens is ready for a rpcprd season,
