A fine combination, that is if the stock is good. DID you ever try our 

 stock? You ought to, it pleases. ^ 



Of course we have everything else in flowers, such as Valley^ TulipSy 

 Daffodils, Lilies, Carnations and Roses.

Mention The Review when you wme 



seems to be an abundance of every kind. 

 Carnations have fallen rapidly, the finest 

 novelties reaching only 3 cents, while as 

 low as 75 cents a hundred has been ac- 

 cepted for the common varieties; 2 cents 

 will buy in quantity about the best 

 there is in the market. Violets are a 

 tremendous drug again and the streets 

 are blue with sidewalk . off erings. These 

 pay venders as low as $1.50 per thousand 

 for the left-overs in quantity, and 40 

 cents per hundred will land the best stock 

 now coming to the market. Lilies, val- 

 ley, tulips, narcissi and all other bulbous 

 flowers now feel the strain of quantity 

 and the southern daffodils weigh heavily 

 upon the local offerings. Sweet peas and" 

 freesia are abundant. Of lilac there is 

 enough, with the southern supply not far 

 away. 



Death of E. V. HaUock. 



The greatest shock the trade has suf- 

 fered in years came Monday night in the 

 sudden death of E. V. Hallock, president 

 of the Florists' Club. Mr. Hallock had 

 participated in the session of the bowlers 

 and shortly after 11 o'clock started for 

 his home in Queens. He was stricken 

 with apoplexy while on the train in the 



subway and died before medical assist- 

 ance could be secured. Mr. Drew, his 

 friend, was with him at the time. He 

 seemed in perfect health during the even- 

 ing and his death was wholly without 

 warning. Further particulars will be 

 found in the obituary column. 



Qub Dinner. 



The banquet of the Florists' Club took 

 place Saturday evening, February 27, 

 in Shanley Is beautifully decorated Eoman 

 hall, and 160 sat. down to the best dinner 

 and the grandest success the club has 

 ever known in its twenty-two years of 

 annual celebrations. The room was like 

 fairyland, with its wealth of smilax 

 wreathing, forsythia, roses, orchids, aca- 

 cia, carnations and every other seasonable 

 flower. The twenty tables were all per- 

 fectly decorated, Alex. McConnell, Alfred 

 Zeller and J. B. Nugent, Jr., having 

 charge. 



President Hallock 's reception was much 

 appreciated and from 6 to 7 o'clock the 

 large company spent the time in the 

 large room set apart for the purpose of 

 social converse. When President Hallock 

 and his daughter led the way to the 

 banquet promptly at 7:30, every seat had 



been allotted and every diner knew the 

 table at which he would be seated and 

 the congenial company around it. The 

 arrangements were excellent and no more 

 universally happy company ever sat down 

 to a banquet in this country. In addi- 

 tion to the wealth of flowers sent by 

 many of the wholesale and retail florists 

 and the Long Island growers, a great 

 box of Peter Crowe's best roses and 

 Croweanum came all the way from Utica^ 



Visitors from a distance included 

 Charles Vick and George B. Hart, of 

 Rochester, and Leonard Vaughan, of 

 Chicago. During the evening a telegram 

 from BostofT'arrived with the names and 

 congratulations of over fifty of the vis- 

 itors of the flower show there. Van 

 Vleet's orchestra did splendidly from 

 6 until 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The 

 seven hours flew so rapidly that none 

 grew weary and few had departed when 

 at that hour the long program was com- 

 pleted and Auld Lang Syne sped the 

 happy company on its homeward way. 

 There were over seventy ladies in at- 

 tendance, a perpetual demonstration of 

 the value of their presence at all future 

 Florists' Club banquets in New York.
