cent to 6 cents. The novelties still are 

 in favor at the bon ton stores. Spring 

 flowers are coming in rapidly. Tulips, 

 daffodils, sweet peas, hyacinths and 

 daisies — plenty of them and to spare. 



In many of the wholesale windows now 

 appears the announcement, "No flow- 

 ers sold at retail." In response, the 

 retail florist will doubtless announce, 

 "No flowers bought from the grower 

 direct." And so, working in harmony, 

 and on a mutually protective plan, there 

 seems to be no good reason why the 

 pleasant relations now existing between 

 these two great sections of the flower 

 trade should not be perpetual. 



Various Notes. 



A gentleman by the name of Boliavsky 

 has been trying to touch some of our 

 wealthy florists lately. W. J. Elliolt and 

 William Gunther were both honored last 

 •week. The police call it the "Spanish 

 prison" confidence game. If is proposed 

 by letter and is a weak attempt at 

 swindling that will have to be worked on 

 some less long-headed profession than 

 the wholesale florists or the seedsmen. 



Mengham & Westwood had the deco- 

 rations last week at the Metropolitan 

 Opera House in honor of Mme. Sem- 

 brich's farewell. Red and white flowers, 

 in token of the Polish national colors, 

 were used exclusively, with palms in 

 abundance. 



March 2 the Greek Florists' Associa- 

 tion will have its annual entertainment 

 and dance at the Lexington Opera House. 

 Last year this event was a big success, 

 and George Cotsonas says this one will 

 far outshine it in size and interest. 



Charles H. Brown has a fine store at 

 -412 Columbus avenue, directly opposite

the Museum of Natural History, where 

 the carnation exhibition was held last 

 week, and where the great flower shows 

 of New York are likely to be held in 

 the future. 



The officers of the Greater New York 

 Florists' Association, of Brooklyn, are: 

 President, D. Y. Mellis; vice-president, 

 H. Jahn; treasurer, R. G. Wilson; sec- 

 retary, W. A. Phillips; manager, George 

 W. Crawbuck, and Messrs. J. V. Phillips, 

 Dowlan, Van Mater, Ross and McKee, 

 directors. After an existence of only 

 six months it has been found possible to 

 declare a seven per cent dividend, a 

 most gratifying showing. 



The Horticultural Society of New York 

 held a meeting Wednesday, February 

 10, that was fairly attended. President 

 Wood was in the chair. In connection 

 with this meeting, an exhibit of carna- 

 tions was made by the Cottage Gardens 

 Co. and the F. 'R. Pierson Co. The 



society awarded a silver medal for Alma 

 Ward, a bronze medal to Mrs. Ward, 

 and a bronze medal to the F. R. Pierson 

 Co. for an exhibit of ten new seedling 

 varieties, including several shown at the 

 Indianapolis convention. Interesting ad- 

 dresses and papers were given by John 

 Birnie, F. R. Pierson, Henry Siebrecht, 

 James Bell and others. Eugene Daille- 

 douze and John Birnie acted as judges. 

 Mr. Birnie 's paper was especially inter- 

 esting. 



The annual dinner season is drawing to 

 a close, a sure sign of spring in the 

 east. Last week the Elberon and Orange 

 societies celebrated, and great successes 

 are reported at both reunions. 



The twenty-second annual banquet of 

 the New York Florists' Club prom- 

 ises now to be "the noblest Roman of 

 them all." Before the committee had 

 sent out the usual tickets to the club's 

 members, over 100 seats had been spoken
