^dinners, weddings, etc. The dinner to the 

 Chinese prince last week was an elaborate 

 affair. Over 100 guests were present. A 

 sunken garden was in the center of the 

 table, arranged to correspond with the 

 Chinese style of floral adornment. 



Kessler Bros, will decide this week on 

 their new quarters and have two or three 

 convenient stores under consideration. 



C. H. Twinn, of the King Construction 

 Co., was a visitor at the meeting of the 

 Florists' Club, Monday evening, May 9, 

 also H. G. Miller, of the same firm, now 

 superintending the erection of two green- 

 houses for the Meerbott Floral Co., at 

 Secaucus, growers of sweet peas and 

 chrysanthemums. Mr. Miller was at one 

 time in the employ of Arthur Newell, of 

 ' Kansas City. 



There will be a good attendance from 

 New York at the orchid show at Boston 

 next week. The all-water trip is favored 

 for the excursionists and a company leav- 

 ing here at 6 p. m. will reach Boston 

 at 8 o'clock the following morning. 



The New York and New Jersey Plant 

 Growers' Association held a harmonious 

 special meeting last week at the oflice of 

 the secretary. 



The auctions continue to draw crowds, 

 most of them unfamiliar faces. Few flo- 

 rists seem to depend on these sources of 

 ». supply, but the increased horde of sub- 

 urbanites has heard of plajit and tree 

 bargains and the values sometimes real- 

 ized are surprising, when eomprared with 

 other years. Everything is higher, how- 

 ever, at the nurseries this year, and so 

 .- the big auction prices are not to be won-

Mention The Review when you wrlte- 



are rumors of a big orchid show and

 widely known grower of New York. 



At Elizabeth, N. J., the "nurserymen 

 are busier than any year in their experi- 

 ence. The Elizabeth Nursery Co. has 

 done an enormous shipping business. The 

 whole force has been working almost day 

 and night since the season opened. The 

 same busy condition prevails across the 

 way, with Hiram T. Jones. The cool 

 weather has been worth many thousands 

 of dollars to these firms. Mr. Runyon, of 

 the Elizabeth Nursery Co., will leave 

 shortly for his fruit farm in Cuba, where 

 oranges, grape fruit, pineapples and to- 

 bacco have been planted in large quanti- 

 ties, and where the enterprise promises 

 to become a great money-maker and 

 splendid success. Mr. and Mrs. Jbnes 

 will attend the nurserymen's convention 

 next month at Denver. These firms be- 

 lieve the present paying prices are like- 

 ly to continue for some time. Mr. Moon, 

 Jr., of Morrisville, Pa., was a recent visi- 

 tor at Elizabeth.- 



Over at Rutherford, Bobbink & Atkins 

 liave had the largest season in their his- 

 tory. There is as yet no let-up to the 

 volume of shipments and- the continued 

 cool temperature has been a'^todsend. On 

 the lawn of Mr. Atkins' residence is one
