The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Septbhbeb 23, 1900. 



Just a Word of Appreciation 



We cannot let this opportunity pass without a word expressing our appreciation 

 of the way the Trade has responded to our Opening Announcement. 



BUYERS AND SELLERS 



Both have given us more liberal treatment than we expected, but no more than 

 we hope to merit. We are here to do our best for all who can use our facilities.

elty from South Africa in a bark cloth, or 

 vegetable tree leather, which is attracting 

 considerable attention among growers, 

 who use it for hotbed coverings, shading 

 ana wind shields. The firm reports the 

 arrival of a large shipment of cape 

 flowers. 



H. A. Bunyard is expected back soon 

 from his western trip. 



George Burnett, of Burnett Bros., has 

 been traveling in Canada. W. A. Sper- 

 ling, of the Stumpp & Walter Co., with 

 Mrs. Sperling will shortly enjoy a honey- 

 moon in the same sentimental and at- 

 tractive country. 



Mr. Good, for many years with H. 

 Hoffmeir, is now manager at the store of 

 John King Duer, on Madison avenue. 



Theo. Lang contemplates opening a 

 store on the same avenue, near Fifty- 

 ninth street. This section is fast becom- 

 ing a hotbed for florists, an even dozen 

 now being within a stone 's throw of each 

 other. 



O. V. Zangen 's wholesale store on West 

 Twenty-eighth street, where E. Gretsch 

 is manager, has had its new suit com- 

 pleted and is ready for the fall boom. All 

 the wholesale houses look wonderfully 

 new and clean and ready. To particu- 

 larize would include them all. I never 

 saw the street look more spick and span 

 at the opening of a fall campaign. 



The Newman Floral Co. is moving up- 

 town, to 16 East Forty-fifth street, close 

 to Fifth avenue, and an excellent locality. 



G. Myer had the family order for the 

 CoflBn funeral, using large quantities of 

 valley in the pall and decoration, and 200 

 Beauties. Mr. Barnbaum, one of his 

 force, who has been ill for sixteen weeks 

 with typhoid fever in the Presbyterian 

 hospital, returned to his old position 

 Monday, September 20, having been gen- 

 erously cared for by his employer during 

 his long illness. 



K. G. Wilson, of Brooklyn, is putting 

 up two large electric signs for the Hud- 

 son celebration. His greenhouses are in 

 splendid order and fully furnished, on 

 Greene avenue. His invention, the corsage 

 bouquet holder, is in wide demand. His 

 inventive mind is always busy. He will 

 build another greenhouse soon on his 

 Brooklyn property.

 hustling upwards. One plot of nineteop

acres, just opposite John Donaldson's, 

 sold for $60,000 two years ago. It has 

 changed hands at $80,000 and $125,000 

 since, and the present owner wants $200,- 

 000 for it. Mr. Donaldson has an entire 

 block there which he has owned and lived 

 on for over twenty years. He has seven 

 houses on these two valuable acres, or 

 twenty-eight city lots. Figure it up for 

 yourself and wish yourself in the shoes 

 of these fortunate Long Island florists 

 who have grown rich while they slept. 

 Here Mr, Donaldson grows lilies, smilax, 

 Queen, Lawson, White Perfection, Har- 

 lowarden and Enchantress carnations, 

 and Ivory, Bonnaffon, Halliday and Mrs. 

 Jerome Jones mums. He is one of the 

 pioneers of the Cut Flower Exchange in 

 New York, and has his son associated 

 with him and a delightful home, with 

 wife and daughter to make his next 

 twenty years as happy as the wealth-pro- 

 ducing twenty that are ended. Across 

 the boulevard is the plant of John 

 Miesem. Here, too, are two acres of valu- 

 able real estate, three 300-foot houses 

 and a most prosperous business. Over 

 10,000 Scottii ferns are ready here for 

 the fall demand, and lilies and Easter 

 plants are abundant, with several houses 

 of Maud Dean, Bonnaffon, Halliday and 

 Ivory. One Brooklyn house alone used 

 $4,000 worth of his Scottii ferns last sea- 

 son. 



Knight & Struck are sole agents out- 

 side of New York city for the sale of H. 

 D. Darlington's plant stock. Both mem- 

 bers of the firm are on the road this 

 week, Mr, Knight being last heard from 

 at Chicago.
