ALBANY, N. Y. 



One of the most enterprising and suc- 

 cessful florists in this part of the state 

 is Fred A. Danker. His store, at 40 

 Maiden lane, was opened by him twelve 

 years ago. It is tlioroughly up-to-date, 

 with white enamel fixtures, plate glass 

 mirrors and many devices for the care 

 and display of his stock. He grows his 

 own flowers at 744 Central avenue, where 

 he has a modern plant of nine green- 

 houses, covered by 25,000 square feet of 

 glass. The houses are used to their full 

 capacity, but Mr. Danker owns fifty acres 

 surrounding the old Danker homestead 

 and here the number of plants grown is 

 increased as rapidly as his business de- 

 mands. He is an authority on floricul- 

 ture, is a member of the Albany Florists ' 

 Club and chairman of the committee of 

 the Albany flower sliow. 



Not far from Mr. Danker 's store is 

 another attractive and popular establish- 

 ment. The Kosery Flower Shop, at 76 

 Maiden lane, of which E. F. Meany and 

 E. P. Tracey are tiie proprietors. The 

 store is fitted in green, and has large 

 plate glass show windows, in Avhich at all 

 times an unusually fine display is to be 

 seen. The members of the firm are both 

 popular young men, natives of this city, 

 who, before engaging in business for 

 themselves in 1907, had several years' 

 experience in this line of business. The 

 firm recently adopted the National cash 

 register check system. 



Fred Keller came here from Brooklyn 

 last May and bought the old established 

 greenhouses of R. W. Zobel, at Troy road 

 and Garbrancc lane. Mr. Keller has 

 given his entire attention to horticulture 

 for twenty years, and has a good knowl- 

 edge of botany as well as tlie practical 

 details of the business. He is a member 

 of the 8. A. F. and of the Albany Flo- 

 rists' Club. His greenhouses are covered 

 by 10,000 square feet of glass and he has 

 two acres of ground for the culture of 

 hardy outdoor stock. 



E. S. Hazcltino's store, at 32 Central 

 avenue, is a good example of the high- 

 class west end places of business, which 

 compare favorably with the downtown 

 establishments. Mr. Hazeltine's stock is 

 always fresh and attractive. He is re- 

 garded as one of the most progressive 

 citizens of the west end. 



In connection with the Hudson-Fulton 

 celebration, two florists of this city. F. 

 A. Danker and Harry G. Eyres, had 

 elaborate and artistic floats in a street 

 parade. Mr. Danker 's float, represent- 

 ing an old Dutch garden, with a wind- 

 mill, was admired for its quaint beauty 

 and picturesque efl'ect. Mr. Eyres' float,

WASHINGTON. 



The Florists' Club, at a recent meet- 

 ing, adopted a resolution protesting 

 agaittst the selling of flowers by street 

 peddlers, the claim being made that most 

 of the stock of the street sellers is stale. 

 It was decided to communicate with the 

 wholesalers and request them to discon- 

 tinue supplying the orders of the side- 

 walk venders. The club awarded a cer- 

 tificate of merit to F. H. Kramer for the 

 production of a new yellow dahlia, whicli 

 he has named Irene Kramer.
