October 8 C. A. Dards had charge of 

 the decorations for the wedding of Miss 

 Havemeyer at Yonkers. It was as elab- 

 orate and beautiful as a carte blanche 

 order and his quartet of artists could 

 make it. 



Carroll Elliott, of W. Elliott & Sons, 

 had a grand dahlia display in his win- 

 dows last week, and not to be outdone 

 by Heinz, says there were fifty-seven 

 varieties in it. 



J. K. Allen has added a fine electric 

 sign which can be seen at a great dis- 

 tance. The new subway station is close 

 at hand, and the veteran says he is 

 surely in it this season. 



Weiss & Sons have opened a whole- 

 sale cut flower business at 127 West 

 Twenty-eighth street, in the big store 

 of Geo. Cotsonas & Co. The firm has 

 greenhouses at Mt. Vernon and the 

 Bronx, about 50,000 square feet in all, 

 where mums, carnations and bulbous 

 stock is grown. Mr. Weiss, Jr., the 

 manager, has had five years' experience, 

 his last position being as manager of 

 the Manhattan Flower Market. 



Myer, of Madison avenue, had charge 

 of the decoration for the opening of the 

 O'Donnell cafe at Broadway and Six- 

 tieth street last week, using many 



palms, much autumn foliage and over 

 1,100 Beauties. 



Mr. Godfrey, one of Walter Sheri- 

 dan 's growers, was a visitor last week. 



W. G. Saltford, of Poughkeepsie, was 

 a guest of his brother, Geo. Saltford, 

 for several days last week, the two in- 

 vestigating the interesting features of 

 Bronx park and the great white way.

NAME OF PLANT. 



1 am sending you a plant for identifi- 

 cation. It is a hardy annual and forces 

 well. We often find it useful in this* 

 part of Iowa as a cut flower and now 

 there is a good local demand for tho 

 potted plants for bedding in the spring. 

 The name commonly given to the plant 

 here is forget-me-not. G. H. 



The plant is Phacelia congesta, pop- 

 ularly known as cluster flowered pha- 

 celia and of the natural order of 

 hydrophyllacetp, a native of western 

 United States. C. W. 



Cedar Bapids, la. — Samuel Woods, 

 superintendent of the city parks, ha» 

 been renovating the greenhouses and 

 has so i!uj)roved their construction v.* 

 ro incroaso their efficiency and dur:i 

 bilitv.
