Saturday evening, February 6, a party 

 of the old friends in the trade gathered 

 at the home of W. W. Burnham, formerly 

 manager of the flower department at 

 Bloomingdale 's, and presented him with 

 an elegant silver tea service. Walter 

 Sheridan made the speech of appreciation 

 and good will. 



Many prominent horticulturists have 

 been invited to attend the New York 

 Florists' Club annual banquet Saturday 

 evening, February 27, J. A. Valentine, 

 president of the S. A. F., and Mayor 

 Breitmeycr, of Detroit, among them. 

 Places at table may be secured by writ- 

 ing Chairman W. J. Elliott, Vesey street, 

 or Secretary John Young, 51 West Twen- 

 ty-eighth street. The tables will be al- 

 lotted as rapidl.y as the demand is made. 

 Already several tables and many seats 

 have been sold. Many of the prominent 

 retailers will be there. A splendid pro- 

 gram is assured. This is the first time 

 the club has had the honor of the ladies' 

 attendance at the annual dinner. 



The salesmen of the Lord & Rur^ibam 



Co. had a gay and profitable banquet 

 Saturday evening at the St. Denis, fol- 

 lowing an afternoon of business discus- 

 sion. 



Charles Millang says his new store is a 

 wholesale cut flower store only. 



Louis Aggelakos, a prominent Greek 

 florist at Fourteenth street and Broad- 

 way, died February 7, following an op- 

 eration for appendicitis. Many beautiful 

 floral emblems were sent the bereaved 

 family by his countrymen, especially by 

 those in the trade. 



Fred Smythe left on the Mauretania 

 last week for a business and pleasure 

 auto tour of the continent. Mr. Smythe 

 has just added a $50,000 nursery farm to 

 his possessions. 



Charles Loechncr, of the Yokohama 

 Nursery Co., is on his western trip. 



Miss Julia A. Dowling, daughter of 

 Peter Dowling, of Thorley's, and J. R. 

 Kennedy, cashier of the Long Island 

 Express Co., were married February 7. 

 The decorations were by Thorley and the 

 wedding bouquet was the handiwork of 

 the father of the bride. 



J. H. Troy is now on a business trip 



in England. He has added a large nurs- 

 ery tract to his other enterprises and does 

 a large landscape business. 



J. H. Walter, of the Stumpp & Wal- 

 ter Co., returned on the Celtic Febru- 

 ary 7 from a month's business trip in 

 Europe. 



W. J. Elliott says the importations are 

 arriving rapidly and the auctions will 

 begin about March 15. Ambrose Cleary 

 will open his auction department about 

 the same date. No others are in the 

 field, nor likely to be, in this special de- 

 partment of the business. 



B. Rosens says the demand for wild 

 smilax shows no lessening. During Janu- 

 ary he shipped out over 200 cases. All 

 the great decorative events of the season 

 have used it profusely. Last week, at 

 the Gould musicale at the Plaza, Alex 

 McConnell made this the background for 

 the largest display of forsythia ever 

 seen at one time in this city. Great 

 masses of this spring flower were every- 

 where. Many palms and bay trees were 

 used in the decoration. Green and yel- 

 low were the only colors seen. 



The sympathy of the trade goes out
