•tinue. Mr. Smith has the esteem and 

 good will of all who know him. 



Gradually the veterans of the busi- 

 ness are retiring on their laurels, or 

 gravitating towards the simple life. 

 William Ford is on his fine estate in 

 Pennsylvania. John Young is growing 

 young on his big farm and among his 

 Beauties at Bedford Hills. The young 

 men are slowly but surely taking up 

 the responsibilities of those who have 

 borne the burden and heat of the day. 

 Some of the veterans have earned a 

 well-deserved retirement, but it is a 

 work, this daily contact with nature 

 and the beautiful, in which men do not 

 grow old. The first wholesaler of all 

 is still active and every day finds him 

 caring for a string of hotels, and in 

 the same store he occupied when he be- 

 gan his career, over thirty-five years 

 ago — the venerable Jimmj' Hart, of 

 Madison. 



The firm of A. Moltz & Co.. on the 

 second tloor of the Coogan building, is 

 another enterprise that will be estab- 

 lished July 1. Mr. Moltz has been in 

 the wholesale cut tiower business for 

 twenty years, dealing exclusively in 

 roses. Maurice Glass is a brother-in- 

 law of Mr. Moltz and has been in his 

 service for eight years. He is a young 

 man of excellent character anJLalg^tu- 

 ral salesman. The firm will enlarge its 

 tloor space and will deal in all kinds of 

 cut flowers hereafter. The business will 

 be strictly wholesale. 



Various Notes. 



Monday, June 1.3, the final meeting 

 of the season for the Florists' Club 

 takes place at its rooms in the Grand 



Opera House building, Twenty-third 

 street and Eighth avenue. Competition 

 for the Hitchings cup begins, and some 

 fine exhibits are assured. Also, there 

 will be much business of importance 

 and interest. The club's outing is less 

 than three weeks away. 



The annual outing of the New York 

 and New Jersey Plant Growers' Asso- 

 ciation will take place early in July, 

 if present plans are completed, with a 

 boat trip as the principal feature. In 

 the same month the Greek florists ' so- 

 ciety will celebrate as usual. 



Everybody is going to Eochester in 

 August. The New York special will 

 have a larger crowd than the one that 

 journeyed to Buffalo at the time of the 

 world's fair. All our exhibitors, as 

 usual, have secured space and will make 

 larger displays than ever. 



C. C. Trepel is enlarging his con- 

 veniences at Loeser's and Blooming- 

 dale's, doubling the size of his space in 

 both cut flower departments and adding 

 to his greenhouse facilities. 



The annual exhibition of the New 

 York Horticultural Society in the 

 Museum building of the Botanical Gar- 

 dens opened June 3, with George V. 

 Nash in charge. Large crowds attended 

 Saturday and Sunday. 



Bonnot Bros, report a case of repudi- 

 ation of order that may interest others 

 who have had similar experiences. A 

 retail florist up state ordered $50 worth 

 of carnations to be sent on a specified 

 train on a Saturday and sent his check 

 for the goods. The express company 

 failed to get them to the customer be- 

 fore Monday. The florist refused the 

 goods and stopped jiayment on the 



check. The wholesaler had already do- 

 posited it and protest charges were 

 added. He shipped the goods at the 

 exact time specified by the retail florist 

 and at the extra expense of local cart- 

 age. Who is responsible, and can the 

 wholesaler collect by law? 



June 4 the final meeting of the New 

 York Cut Flower Exchange for the year 

 was held in Long Island City, John 

 Donaldson presiding. 



Kessler Bros, imported 400 bay trees 

 and phoenix in decorative sizes, which 

 arrived last week and have sold rap- 

 idly. They are much pleased with their 

 temporary store at 450 Sixth avenue. A 

 large importation of kentias has been 

 secured for the fall. This firm will at 

 that time add a wholesale cut flower 

 department to its business. 



The bouquets illustrated this montl' 

 so profusely in the Ladies' Home Jour 

 nal also feature the ribbon creations 

 of Wertheimer Bros. 



Joseph Levy, of John Seligman & 

 Co., has installed a large new ice-box 

 in his store on West Twenty-sixth 

 street, opposite the Coogan building. 



William Mathews, of Great Neck, 

 who grows Purity freesia bulbs for the 

 Stumpp & Walter Co., and cut flowers 

 for Kessler Bros., was in the city 

 .Tune 4. 



Leopold Oesternei, long with Sie- 

 brecht & Son, of New Eochelle, is now 

 on the landscape staff of Bobbink & 

 Atkins, of Rutherford, N. J.

 Weber, of Lynbrook, graduated from
