ceiving an average of over 1,000 Gold 

 Mine, Chadwick and Bonnaffon mums 

 daily from Garreau Bros., of Jersey 

 City, which have all sold at from $2 

 to $3 per dozen. Saturday, November 

 20, they handled over 5,000. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr., says he has a fellow 

 feeling for the Eeview, because they 

 each are commencing their thirteenth 

 year. 



John Egenbrod, formerly vdth A. J. 

 Guttman, has joined the ranks of the 

 speculators in cut flowers and is doing 

 well. 



Paul Eigo, formerly with Henshaw & 

 Fenrich, is now with A. J. Guttman. 



Peter F. McKenney, Fifth avenue and 

 Forty-second street, had the decoration 

 of the Marie Antoinette hotel November 

 17 for the Ferguson-Forshaw wedding. 



Walter F. Sheridan had a beautiful 

 window of White Frick mums Saturday, 

 November 20, a new variety of perfect 

 white and of good size, grown by Paul 

 Fisher, of Woodbridge, N. J. 



The Onaway Florist, with greenhouses 

 at Boonton, N. J., is open for the season 

 at Seventh avenue and Fifty-seventh 

 street, with Miss Bearsley as manager 

 and George C. Simms, formerly with 

 Charles Thorley, as artist. 



S. Masur, of Brooklyn, has added a 

 new wagon to his conveniences, and says 

 November has been his best month in 

 years for wedding decorations. He 

 hopes to occupy a much larger store in 

 the spring. 



Mary Kolloge, sister of Herman 

 Dreyer, deceased, was adjudged a bank- 

 rupt Tuesday, November 16, and W. H. 

 Siebrecht, Jr., appointed trustee. Will- 

 iam Kolloge was manager and there are 



nine houses, filled with a general as- 

 sortment, to be disposed of. 



There is to be a new Castle Gould, 

 costing a million, where Harry Turner 

 presides over horticultural things. The 

 old castle was erected in 1902. Great 

 landscape effects are already provided 

 for. 



At College Point one needs to go early 

 if a satisfactory examination of the An- 

 ton Schultheis place is contemplated, for 

 it takes a lot of time to enjoy the, com- 

 plete plant display provided. There are 

 houses of Erica fragrans, poinsettias, 

 azaleas, oranges, Jerusalem cherries and 

 camellias all ready for shipment. Aza- 

 leas were in bloom for Thanksgiving. 

 The camellias are varied and handsome. 

 I have seen no finer stock of ericas. 

 Bougainvillea is perfect and the stock of 

 Pandanus Veitchii, araucarias, palms and 

 ferns of all the popular varieties has 

 never been excelled here. The stock of 

 hardy roses is immense, the ramblers 

 predominating. The whole plant is 

 modern and complete, and with his seven 

 sons to follow in his footsteps, there 

 seems good reason to expect the name 

 of Schultheis to long be allied with 

 American floriculture. 



A meeting of retailers and growers 

 was held at 133 West Twenty-eighth 

 street last week, with J. H. Troy, of the 

 Rosary, in the chair. A growers' com- 

 mittee was appointed, consisting of R. 

 M. Schultz, H. L. Rohner, David Mc- 

 Kenzie, C. F. Ditsenberger and H. C. 

 Steinhoff, to meet a similar number of 

 retailers and report results at a subse- 

 quent meeting. About eighty were pres- 

 ent and remarks' were made by John 

 Bimie, George D. Nicholas, George 



Stumpp, H. C. Steinhoff, Mr. Waren- 

 dorff, Mr. Barton, Robert Simpson, Pres- 

 ident Dards of the retailers' association 

 and others. The present outlook is fa- 

 vorable to a continuance of the meth- 

 ods of distribution which have pre- 

 vailed successfully for so many years, 

 and to a better understanding between 

 wholesalers, growers and retailers and a 

 greater harmony than has ever charac- 

 terized the cut flower business in this 

 center. 



Holly is selling for Thanksgiving at 

 $7 a case. Many of the supply men are 

 handling it. 



The shipments of wild smilax gfrow. 

 The Kervan Co. and B. Rosens receive 

 quantities daily and the demand takes it 

 all. 



A demonstration of Aphine will be 

 held at the store of the Manhattan 

 Flower Market, 46 West Twenty-eighth 

 street, December 13, if Treasurer Ebel's 

 present plans are consummated. The 

 day has been chosen because of the Flo- 

 rists' Club meeting that evening. 



M. C. Ebel, the treasurer of the Tal- 

 madge Co., with C. H. Totty and Mr. 

 Schultz, attended the debut of Velasca 

 Surrett at Hammerstein's Monday, the 

 lady Mr. Totty lately honored by nam- 

 ing his big new red Australian mum 

 after her. Mr. Totty gave Velasca 95% 

 points, with a full score for beauty, size 

 and form, but he said she was a little 

 scant on foliage. 



John T. Withers, of Jersey City, 

 starts February 5 on an educational and 

 observation trip. 



Julian N. Hanft, uncle of the Hanft 

 brothers, is seriously ill. Until a week 

 ago, Mr. Hanft, who is 80 years old
