SS T?Z FLORISTS and NURSERYMEN 



This Code is a g^reat MONET SAVER in correspondence between the Jobber and Retailer 

 and is INVALUABLE in the DELIVERY OF FLOWERS BY TELEGRAPH. 



Thia Code in the hands of' a chain of houBea throaghoat this and foreign coantries would enable the Florist 

 to wire fall directions at very small expense. Here is a sample order: "Deliver to Miss Watson, No. 395 Sixth 

 avenue, with card of her brother, floral design representing a bell, and a few fancy chrysanthemums. Deliver at 

 6 p . m. Answer as soon as delivered." Here are 34 words; in Code would be 11 words, thus: "Sprawl

unostentatiously, of which more will soon 

 be heard. Some of the new houses are of 

 the half-acre brand. Prosperity is in the 

 air. The coming seaeon already is bright 

 with promise. 



The outing committee has met with 

 wide and generous appreciation. Prize 

 donations and souvenir advertising to- 

 gether approximate $1,000, a record far 

 in advance of any year in the club's va- 

 cation history. 



W. A. Sperling, for some years the 

 popular representative of the Stumpp & 

 Walter Co., has been elected secretary, 

 Henry Eicke having resigned. Mr. Sper- 

 ling will continue to make his periodical 

 calls on customers. 



Collier V. Hemenway, for twelve years 

 superintendent of the John D. Rockefel- 

 ler estate at Tarrytown, N. Y., was 

 buried, June 13, from his home on the 

 estate. He was a great favorite with 

 Mr. Rockefeller and a large circle of 

 friends. His employer and many others 

 sent beautiful floral tributes in sympathy 

 with the bereaved. The estate where 

 Mr. Hemenway presided is one of the 

 largest in the country. 



The schedules in bankruptcy have been 

 filed by the Fleischman Floral Co., show- 

 ing over 300 customers with unpaid ac- 

 counts amounting to over $7,280; sev- 

 eral popular actresses, actors, racing 

 celebrities and such are on the list. The 

 total liabilities are $108,991. The as- 

 sets include: Autos and wagons, $4,400; 

 stock, $4,000; fixtures, $5,000; the total 

 amounts to only $20,748. Among the 

 creditors, J. T. Raynor is down for 

 $2,424; the New York Cut Flower Co., 

 $3,694; the J. M. Keller Co., $1,300, and 

 Joseph Fleischman himself for $27,995, 

 money loaned the firm, and $20,000 un- 

 paid salary. 



The F. R. Pierson Co. has six big half- 

 acre houses at Scarboro. The day is fast 

 coming, Mr. Pierson thinks, when the big 

 houses will be a necessity of the trade, if 

 one wishes to make of it a permanent 

 investment. Many share this belief, as 

 the immense house at Florex Gardens, 

 the biggest on earth, seems to demon- 

 strate, and there are dozens of plants in 

 the country that speak on this line of 

 business sagacity and requirement with 

 no uncertain sound. 



J. Austin Shaw. 



A divorce has been granted Emma 

 Jackson, from Andrew Jackson, a Brook- 

 lyn florist, with $15 a week alimony and 

 the custody of their daughter, 10 years 

 old. 



Aloysius Gross, who shot and killed 



John Scott, of Flatbush, April 19, plead- 

 ed guilty of manslaughter in the first 

 degree before Justice Maddox in the 

 Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court 

 June 7. The maximum penalty is twenty 

 years. Gross was indicted for murder in 

 the first degree, but was allowed to plead 

 to manslaughter. A later report has it 

 that Gross has changed his mind and will 

 ask to be allowed to stand trial for 

 murder. 



Peekskill, N. Y. — C. H. Robinson, the 

 Main street florist, has hired the entire 

 building and is now occupying the living 

 apartments over his store. 



La Ceoss, "Wis. — The park commis- 

 sioners are considering the advisability 

 of establishing a public nursery, for the 

 growing of flowers, shrubbery and trees 

 for the city's use. Superintendent 

 Richard Iwerson is strongly in favor of 

 the movement and feels certain, he says, 

 that it would be a step in the direction 

 of economy. 



Bangor, Me. — Frank P. Lane, who 

 some years ago purchased the business at 

 the Winter Garden, and the greenhouses 

 on Mount Hope avenue, from Carl Beers, 

 has now transferred the business and 

 property back to Mr. Beers and will 

 become vice-president of a piano com- 

 pany in this city. The greenhouses and 

 gardens will be continued under the per- 

 sonal management of Mr. Beers, who has 

 had a thorough experience as a florist.
