pointed by President Turner, of the 

 Florists ' Club, is a practical one and 

 means business, and it is hoped that at 

 the June meeting plans may be formu- 

 lated that will meet with the club's ap- 

 proval, and the dream of twenty years 

 become more than a baseless fabric. This 

 is the time, if ever, to strike while the 

 iron is hot. 



The Sunday closing movement unfor- 

 tunately died aborning. A few refused 

 to sign the agreement that would have 

 given principals and employees a day of 

 much-needed rest. Once more the minor- 

 ity has ruled. But every wholesale and 

 retail cut flower store in the country 

 could close on Sundays to its own and 

 the public 's advantage. It is even now 

 probable that the wholesalers may make 

 the plan universal and begin next week 

 to test its sensibleness and value. 



An exhibit of tulips at the Museum of 

 Natural History in New York, where the 

 big flower show will be held next fall, 

 will be seen May 20 and 21, the exhib- 

 itors being W. W. Rawson & Co., of Bos- 

 ton. 



The manager of the Manhattan Flower 

 Market was much pleased with his first 

 •week's patronage, and his window dis- 

 play and large room and conveniences 

 commend him to all and entitle him to 

 success in his enterprise. 



Congratulations are universal on the 

 «tork's visit to Rutherford, and the nose 

 of Julius Roehrs, Jr., is now out of joint 

 with the accession of Julius III to the 

 throne. The grandfather of the heir ap- 

 parent is still in Europe, and the proud 

 father is dispensing lavishly in honor of 

 the occasion. 



June 18 will s?e one of A. J. Gutt- 

 rnan's popular foremen in the toils of 



matrimony. Mr. Guttman has been un- 

 der the weather with Job's comforters 

 for a week, but is himself again.

 tan Opera House in honor of Heinrich

Conreid, the great musician, Thursday, 

 May 13, and the floral decorations and 

 tributes have never been excelled in 

 grandeur, solemnity and beauty. The 

 enormous stage was buried in flowers, 

 and over 200 set pieces were artistically 

 banked and arranged by A. Warendorff, 



who had charge of the decoration. Nearly 

 all the bon ton florists of the city had 

 their share of the orders, and some of 

 the set pieces were of enormous size and 

 great value. Many orchids were used. 

 The immense pall covering the coffin and 

 bier, composed of valley, violets and or- 

 chids, was made by Mr. Warendorff. 



The ribbon houses all agree that the 

 demand for Memorial day is wide and 

 persistent, the red, white and blue con- 

 ceptions and the colonial and ombre chif- 

 fons taking precedence in the call. 



S. Jacobs & Sons, Brooklyn, speak 

 optimistically of the outlook, and are 

 rushed beyond their enlarged capacity, 

 so that before long additional building 

 and space must be provided. 



Ordonez Bros., of Madison, make 41 

 West Twenty-eighth street, with Millang 

 Bros., their New York headquarters. 

 Their orchid importing and shipping 

 trade is growing rapidly, and an importa- 

 tion of labiata and Sanderiana arrives 

 this week. 



Anton Schultheis, of College Point, has 

 a grand stock of roses and hydrangeas 

 for Decoration day, and a large stock of 

 every popular palm and plant in all va- 

 rieties. The new range is now in perfect 

 shape, and building is over for the sea- 

 son. 



The F. R. Pierson Co. reports a tre- 

 mendous demand for White Killarney. 

 From the present outlook, every rose 

 grower in the country will have a try at 

 it. It is exceedingly popular in New 

 York, and so is My Maryland. 



The seedsmen all seem to be at the 

 height of the busy season. The long 

 spell of cool weather has been of immense 

 value to this department of the business.
