without whom grower and wholesaler 

 would soon lapse into innocuous desue- 

 tude. These two especially, wholesaler 

 and retailer, are evincing a disposition to 

 work in harmony. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club will take place Monday 

 evening, January 11, in the Grand Opera 

 House building. President Hallock and 

 the other new officials will be installed. 

 There are fifty of the best retail florists 

 of the city who would find it greatly to 

 their advantage to secure membership in 

 this organization. 



There are said to be about fifty appli- 

 cants for W. W. Burnham's position at 

 Bloomingdale 's. 



Hunter & McAllister is the title of a 

 new retail firm doing business at 11 Fifth 

 avenue. The store is in the Hotel Bre- 

 voort, a good locality. 



Budolph Fischer was in New York last 



week on his way from the golden west to 

 Germany. 



The generosity of the trade to its em- 

 ployees was everywhere manifest at 

 Christmas. A notable example of gen- 

 erosity was the gift of New York Cut 

 Flower Co. to Miss Mildred Foran, the 

 bookkeeper, who leaves the firm Janu- 

 ary 2 for her home in Canada. The 

 managers and employees also joined in 

 the demonstration, which included a 

 week 's salary, a rich leather handbag and 

 $50 in gold. Miss Agnes Savage will 

 succeed Miss Foran. 



A. T. Boddington is back from his 

 annual two weeks' visit among his Lenox 

 friends. 



William Badgley, of Chatham, N. J., 

 was in the city Christmas eve, happy be- 

 cause he had grown so many Killarney 

 this season. 



Stumpp & Walter Co. report the best 

 Christmas it ever has known. 



It was a great Christmas for the whole- 



sale cut flower merchants of Brooklyn, 

 and for the retailers as well.

Christmas Trade. 



Eeports from the stores are now com- 

 ing in and, from what can be learned 

 from the different ones, satisfaction 

 seems to prevail. All claim to have 

 equaled last year's trade and a great 

 many claim a large increase. Among 

 the wholesalers, stock was plentiful, with 

 the exception of Beauties, • Bichmonds, 

 red carnations and violets, the last men- 

 tioned being far short of what was need- 

 ed. Carnations were on hand by the 

 thousands, and plenty of good stock went 

 for prices far below those expected for 

 Christmas trade. Poinsettias were not 

 snapped up as in other years; it seemed 

 as though the fair weather compelled
