Various Notes. 



B. J. Slinn, Jr., reports W. H. Hay, 

 of Montreal and Ottawa, a visitor in 

 New York. 



It looks as if the wholesale florists 

 will gradually absorb aU the ground 

 floors and first stories on West Twenty- 

 eighth street, from Broadway to Seventh 

 avenue, and almost every interest congp-e- 

 gates on this street. Bumor says the 

 big building now being erected between 

 Sixth and Seventh avenues is to have a 

 cut flower company as its control. 



Quite a large delegation from New 

 York will attend the national flower 

 show in Chicago, November 6. It would 

 be well if those intending to make the 

 trip would send word to President 

 Traendly in advance. Much interest is 

 already manifested by exhibitors and a 

 great success is universally hoped for, 

 because its triumph means a repetition 

 in New York. 



Harry Gessner, the Imperial florist, is 

 well pleased with his locatijon and has 

 made a success of the venture from the 

 start. 



The new wholesaler, Nicholas C. 

 Schreiner, opens Thursday, October 15, 

 at 41 West Twenty-eighth street. The 



Bowling Club showed its good will and 

 confidence last Wednesday by making 

 him treasurer. He is a member of the 

 New York Tlorists' Club and the S. A. F. 



M. A. Bowe's windows were aflame 

 Monday with orchids in baskets, and a 

 fine assortment of the large mums. 



Lyman B. Craw, of the Lord & Burn- 

 ham Co., speaks glowingly of his four 

 weeks' western trip and shows plainly 

 the benefit of the glorious air and cli- 

 mate of Colorado. 



Alfred Puttrman, for twelve years 

 with Gunther Bros., and Miss Brenner 

 will be married October 20. 



The engagement is announced of Miss 

 Anna Levitt, bookkeeper for Alex. J. 

 Guttman, and S. Wolff, a prominent 

 manufacturer on Broadway. 



George C. Simms, formerly with 

 Charles Thorley, is now with John Bang 

 Duer, on Madison avenue. 



George Saltford has accepted appoint- 

 ment as judge at the Tarrytown flower 

 show November 5. 



Myer, on Madison avenue, had the pink 

 mum decoration for the Powell-McGoey 

 wedding last week, at the Church of 

 the Heavenly Best, and some elaborate 

 funeral designs from the official staff at 

 General Fitzgerald's obsequies. New 

 signs and decorations make the store 

 thoroughly up-to-date and the conserva- 



tories have absorbed all the twenty-foot 

 palms secured at the EUiott-Biltmore 

 auction. 



The monthly meeting of the Horticul- 

 tural Society of New York was held 

 October 14, at the Museum of National 

 History, where the flower show will take 

 place November 17 to 20, 



Stumpp & Walter Co. carried off the 

 blue ribbon last week for their display 

 of bulbs at the Danbury, Conn., fair. 



The fall shows are close at hand and 

 unfortunately several of them in this vi- 

 cinity find it impossible to make the 

 dates harmonize. November 5, for in- 

 stance, they will be running at top speed 

 at Tarrytown, N. '^♦f Bed Bank, N. J.; 

 Glen Cove, L. L, and Hartford, Conn. 

 Madison has October 29 and 30 all to 

 itself and the big attendance of the trade 

 is thereby assured. 



C. H. Totty and Wm. Duckham, of 

 Madison, were in the city October 10. 



J. J. Coan, the manager of the Grow- 

 ers' Cut Flower CO., at 39 West Twenty- 

 eighth street, is delighted with the open- 

 ing send-off accorded him. 



Auctions continue at the marts on 

 Vesey street every Tuesday and Friday. 

 The retailers responded well to the op- 

 portunity for stocking up with decorative 

 palms. Cleary's boxwood is arriving,
