work. By noon on Monday, March 22, 

 all of them were sold out. 



Roses are coming in well in all varie- 

 ties. The best quality of these clean up 

 almost daily. The same can be said of 

 carnations, which are in still better de- 

 mand. White and Enchantress bring top 

 prices, and Beacon sells clean. These 

 have not been any too plentiful of late — 

 not half enough for the demand. 



Violets are becoming pale, and a great 

 many of our Kirkwood growers are pull- 

 ing out the plants. The chances for these 

 for Easter are not bright. Lilies, both 

 calla and Harrisii, are plentiful. Eomans 

 and Paper Whites were scarce last week. 

 There are enough sweet peas and good 

 valley for all demands. Few tulips are 

 seen in the market just now. There is 

 enough green goods of all kinds to be 

 had. 



Variotta Notes. 



Governor Hadley has issued a proc- 

 lamation designating April 9 as Arbor 

 day, and says that the day should be 

 devoted to the planting of trees, shrubs 

 and plants. 



J. F. WUcox, of Council Bluffs, la., 

 is consigning an extra fine lot of Beau- 

 ties to Smith & Co. 



Charles Young, Jr., has given up his 

 position in the wholesale dry goods busi- 

 ness, and is again with the firm of C. 

 Young & Sons Co. His father, James 

 Young, is president of the company. 



A. Jablonsky, of Central, is sending to 

 H. G. Berning a nice lot of roses and 

 carnations. 



A. Y. Ellison, of the Ellison Floral 

 Co., spent a few days in Chicago the lat- 

 ter part of last week, arranging for 

 Easter stock for his firm. 



Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber and their 

 daughter have made all arrangements 

 for a trip to Europe this summer, the 

 trip to extend into fall. 



The Kiessen Floral Co. has had a busy 

 week with large funeral designs and 

 /aecorations. 

 \ E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was a caller 



his daughter to Albert Vreeland, of 

 Greenville, N. J., March 25. 



F. H. Traendly and Eugene Daille- 

 douze have returned from Cincinnati and 

 Buffalo with glowing accounts of the 

 prospects for a good convention in Au- 

 gust, while the landing of the rose con- 

 vention for 1910 in New York gives the 

 trade the warmest satisfaction. 



Charles Krombach 's reception in honor 

 of his twenty-fifth anniversary, March 

 19, was largely attended, and the silver 

 mementos were many and beautiful. Mr. 

 Krombach was born in. 1857, and has 

 been in business as a grower and retailer 

 since 1876. He was the pioneer florist 

 of Coney Island, and the first to plant 

 flowers there when there was only a 

 sandy waste and where now a half mil- 

 lion gather every Sunday of the summer 

 season. One son and two daughters con- 

 stitute this happy family. 



Louis Dupuy, of Whitestone, has re- 

 built his sheds and houses, destroyed by 

 fire, and everything is in ship-shape for 

 Easter. The loss was about $10,000, and 

 a serious one at this time of the year, 

 but fortunately the home and a large part 

 of the range were saved, and it will not 

 be long bnfore no trace of the misfor- 

 tune will remain. 



Anton Schulthois reports stock being 

 rapidly selected and set aside for the 

 Easter deliveries. He grows a big vari- 

 ety, but the roses are a strong feature. 



B. Rosens reports a steady call for 

 wild smilax. At the Yale dinner last 

 week a large quantity was used. 



Easter lilies, for delivery April 8 to 

 10, are quoted at $12. 



James McManus says the Easter de- 

 mand, for orchids especially, promises to 

 break all records. 



The Flatbush Bowling Club will pjay 

 against the strong Astoria Club, Tuesday 

 evening, March 30, on the Astoria alleys. 



The New York Bowling Club members 

 will begin a series of fifteen games Mon- 

 day evening, April 19, to determine the 

 team that will represent this city at the 

 Cincinnati tournament. None but regular 

 members can compete for the honor.

The Market 



The market keeps firm as to prices, 

 stock and demand. There is no overstock 

 nor scarcity in anything. The wholesal- 

 ers say that last week the demand for 

 all kinds of stock was good, and that, 

 judging from the demand, the retailers 

 throughout the city must have had a 

 fairly busy week. The work was chiefly 

 for funerals, as social work during Lent 

 is somewhat slack among the uptown 

 florists, who do most of this kind of

Saturday, March 20, and visited several

 mar boulevard. Their new residence,

 west end belle soon after Easter.
