Mention The Review when you write. 



The outdoor gladioli are here. The 

 quality of America and a few of the new 

 varieties grown under glass has never 

 been better. 



The street outlet grows smaller. The 

 sidewalk merchants are off for the ocean ; 

 1 cent each for roses and carnations is 

 the asking price of those who still cry 

 their wares in the crowded streets. 



Betail stores in New York are now 

 flooded with the outdoor roses and spiraea, 

 syringa and other hardy stock in endless 

 quantity. Crimson ramblers are about 

 ready for their annual demonstration. 



Vutotn Notes. 



The New York Cut Flower Co. closes 

 at 1 p. m. after July 1 for two months. 

 It is a pity the whole wholesale con- 

 tingent would not do likewise. It would 

 be money in their jeans. Several of 

 them on Twenty-eighth street say they 

 will, but will they? 



Steamers still take out the usual fare- 

 well floral offerings. M. A. Bowe sent 

 a $100 airship of Beauties to the New 

 York last week. 



Thursday, July 1, is outing day for the 

 Florists' Club, This is the last notifica- 

 tion possible and those who miss it will 

 have only themselves to blame. No mat- 

 ter what the weather, the affair is already 

 a great success. A warm invitation is 

 given by the club to all retail florists 

 and gardeners to join in the festivities. 



Robert Schultz is again in the harness, 

 running his rose plant at Madison. 



The auction days are waning rapidly. 

 Tuesday, June 22, Elliott's annual palm 



sale was the leading event. The Fruit 

 Auction Co. had a special sale of large 

 phoenix and deary's Horticultural Co. 

 had a big sale of bedding stock and bay 

 trees. On the whole, the season has been 

 satisfactory to the auction people. 



Among the late visitors in New York 

 from the Hub were E. Allen Peirce and 

 Alex. Montgomery, Jr. 



Congratulations are due Mr. and Mrs. 

 Walter Sheridan on the completion of 

 twenty-two years of happy marital life. 



Charles Millang is renting part of his 

 store on Sixth avenue and Twenty-sev- 

 enth street and is building a balcony of- 

 fice in his store on the ground floor of 

 the Coogan building. 



Frank Millang and family moved June 

 22 to their country home, thirty-seven 

 miles out, at Yorktown Heights. 



W. H. Siebrecht, of Astoria, has pur- 

 chased a country home with eight acres 

 of ground, two miles distant from the 

 village of Chappaqua, N. Y., and thirty- 

 seven miles from New York city. His 

 son-in-law will occupy his Astoria resi- 

 dence. Mr. Siebrecht expects to be at 

 Cincinnati with a touring car full of 

 eastern enthusiasts, including the famous 

 Astoria invincible bowling club. 



The Cut Flower Exchange, in the 

 Coogan building, is fixing up for the sum- 

 mer with new ceilings, etc., the fall of 

 the old ceiling last week occurring when 

 the room was comparatively empty — a 

 narrow escape for John Donaldson and 

 the Long Island growers who crowd 

 the big room in the early morning. 



The Democratic Club's outing, June 



22, was attended by many of the florists, 

 the popular John Mallon, of Brooklyn, 

 being vice-president of the organization. 



Watson S. Woodruff, of Orange, Conn., 

 president of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, left Monday morning, June 

 21, in a special car, accompanied by many 

 of the leading seedsmen of this city and 

 vicinity, en route for the convention at 

 Niagara Falls. 



Harry Cathcart, Jr., of Newburgh, 

 N. Y.; C. H. Totty, of Madison, and 

 Joseph Fenrich and A. M. Henshaw, of 

 New York, will journey to the Cincin- 

 nati convention in Mr. Cathcart 's auto. 



J. A. Fenrich has been requested to 

 manage the New York bowling team for 

 the convention and announces a few 

 weeks' competition for team membership, 

 to commence Tuesday evening, June 29, 

 at Thumm's alleys. 



The employees of A. J. Guttman have 

 arranged for a fishing party from Staten 

 Island about July 31. Miss Anna 

 Levitt, bookkeeper for this house, will 

 leave shortly for a month's vacation. 



The Greek florists' outing will take 

 place July 29 at Wetzel's. A repetition 

 of last year's success is confidently an- 

 ticipated. 



Paul Pfitzer, of Stuttgart, Germany, 

 was in the city Saturday, June 19, rep- 

 resenting Wilhelm Pfitzer, nurseryman 

 and seedsman of that city. He is on his 

 way to Japan. 



Thomas King, a well known character 

 in the wholesale market, took his own 

 life one night this week by leaping from 

 the elevated railroad station at One Hun-
