by F. B. Pierson as among his visitors, 

 at Scarboro, to see White Killarney 

 growing. 



Mr. and Mrs. August Hepp celebrated 

 the golden anniversary of their wedding 

 January 17, at their home on One-Hun- 

 dred-Seventy-Sixth street. They have 

 lived in New York over sixty years. Mr.

 plans for the original Central park were

 city. 



B. Eosens has added a chiflfon ribbon 

 department to his supply house and says 

 the demand for wild smilax this year is 

 constant and unlimited. 



John Miesem, of Elmhurst, L. I., 

 caught a lily thief last week with the 

 goods on him, some fifty of them, and 

 the thief is held for special sessions. 



Miss Granig, formerly with A. War- 

 endorff, is now floral artist with Mrs. 

 Warendorff, Sr., at the uptown store 

 of the firm, in the Hotel Ansonia. 



G. Myer, on Madison avenue, has been 

 busy with many engagement dinners 

 lately, in which new designs in artistic 

 ribbon and floral decoration added to 

 his reputation for originality. At the 



Gould function he had a unique vase of 

 ten dozen American Beauties, 300 gar- 

 denias, lilac. Sunrise and Bon Silene 

 roses that was greatly admired. 



Hanft Bros., on Madison avenue, re- 

 port a carte blanche order for a wedding 

 and reception last week that utilized 

 many thousands of white roses and val- 

 ley, the largest affair of the kind this 

 house has ever known. 



Wadley & Smythe had the Hazard re- 

 ception last week, at Providence, and 

 gave that city a decoration which local 

 reporters declare has never been ap 

 proached in that capital city. 



It is said there will be two flower 

 shops opened this year in the magic zone

 excel anything in this country. 



J. Austin Shaw. 



Wertheimer Bros, have sent out to 

 their customers an exceedingly neat diary 

 and pocket account book. 



Reports are in circulation in real es- 

 tate circles that the reorganized Fleisch- 

 man flower business is to be carried on 

 by a new company on a greatly extended 



scale, with ample capital, and will be in 

 the market for a number of stores in 

 high-class locations, and especially on 

 prominent corners. The florist end of the 

 Fleischman business has always been suc- 

 cessful, its present financial difiiculties 

 being due to other ventures, with which 

 the new company will not be concerned. 

 The new company was organized this 

 week under the name of the New York 

 Fleischman Stores. Its incorporators are 

 Ferdinand Fleischman, Jacob Ausbacher 

 and Stella Offenbach. The capital stock 

 is .$25,000. a merely nominal figure, which 

 is to be increased later on. 



It is reported that the new Fleischman 

 organization has already leased several 

 large stores, among them that of Walter 

 J. Salomon, at Fifth avenue and Forty- 

 second street. It also has secured the ex- 

 clusive privilege of selling flowers in the 

 Terminal buildings, 30 and 50 Church 

 street. 



Beverly Farms, Mass. — George F. 

 Wood, of the Wayside Greenhouse, set 

 up his usual stand in Salem at Christ- 

 mas, for the sale of evergreen decora- 

 tions, and did an excellent business.
