Rogers funeral, there was no special de- 

 mand. 



The market was topheavy with sweet 

 peas and lilac. Irises and gladioli are 

 abundant, and peonies from the south are 

 arriving in tremendous quantities and 

 selling as low as $1 per hundred for fine 

 «tock, with even lower quotations for the 

 undeveloped buds. Outdoor valley is of 

 splendid quality, and has cut down the 

 price of the indoor supply to the lowest 

 figures of the season. 



The orders booked for June wedding 

 work are numerous, and these, and the 

 lessened supply of roses, give hope of 

 better times from now until the month 

 ■of roses passes. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Florists ' Club, 



and the last for the season, will be held 

 June 12. Following that, the next event 

 of importance will be the club's annual 

 outing at Whitestone Landing, July 1. 

 To this have been invited the retail asso- 

 ciations of New York and Brooklyn, and 

 all the gardeners' societies within a ra- 

 dius of twenty-five miles. Therj should, 

 therefore, be a record attendance. An 

 effort is made to have the wholesalers 

 and retailers fight out their baseball 

 challenges on that day, as three ball fields 

 are at the disposal of the club. 



The Bowling Club will meet every Fri- 

 day evening at Thumm's alleys during 

 the balance of the season. Any member 

 of the Florists' Club is welcome, and the 

 cost of each evening's bowling is eiqually 

 divided. Any member also is at liberty 

 to bring a friend, and accessions from 



the experts among the retailers are espe- 

 cially desired. The club must not fall 

 behind its excellent record at Buffalo, 

 where only five pins separated it from all 

 the highest honors of the tournament. 



George Cotsonas was able to tide the 

 market over the fancy fern scarcity, 

 which at one time last week left the 

 storage supply almost depleted. 



June 7 is the date of the next meeting 

 of the New York Betail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation. 



Richard Scommadau is celebrating the 

 fiftieth anniversary of his beginning in 

 the florists' business in New York. He 

 has occupied his present headquarters at 

 Thirty-fourth street and Eighth avenue 

 for thirty-two years. His first store was 

 on Twenty-fifth street and Eighth ave- 

 nue, which he held from 1859 to 1877. 



Philip Recht, formerly with the Hinode 

 Co. and now with the Zeidler Co., has an 

 office in Vienna, Austria, and is European 

 representative of his firm. He has just 

 returned from Europe and will now make 

 his permanent home in Vienna, where his 

 parents reside. 



A new florists' supply house has been 

 opened at 384 Jay street, Brooklyn, by 

 J. W. Merritt. Brooklyn, with its several 

 cut flower, green goods and supply whole- 

 sale centers, is beginning to demonstrate 

 its ability to stand alone. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr., concluded the Seattle 

 exposition and far-away Alaska good re- 

 juvenators for the summer, after the 

 strenuous season just ended, and is al- 

 ready on his way. 



The Beauty "king" no longer struts 

 in conscious sovereignty, the stork last 

 week having brought a Joseph Millang, 

 Jr., for recognition.
