West Twenty-eighth street, and during 

 the last four years with the Pennsylvania 

 railroad's new terminal work as inspec- 

 tor, has come back to his first love and 

 is now manager for Charles Millang, in 

 the Crystal Palace, at Sixth avenue and 

 Twenty-seventh street. Mr. Bradshaw 

 was "drowned" once while in the employ 

 of the Pennsylvania Eailroad Co. and 

 had several narrow escapes in the dan- 

 gerous work of excavation. 



J. Quille, of Portsmouth, Va., of the 

 Hubert Bulb Co., called on Moore, Hentz 

 & Nash last week on his way to Guernsey, 

 Channel Islands. This firm handles all 

 the stock grown by this house in Vir- 

 ginia, as high as 100,000 sometimes in a 

 day. 



Jonathan Nash has just received in- 

 telligence of his father's death March 

 25, in London, England, at the age of 

 82. The trade extends its sympathy. 

 Mr. Nash leaves four sons and one 

 daughter, one of whom resides in France 

 and three in England. 



The seedsmen are still working night 

 and day. There are no exceptions to 

 the rule and the long delay in the com- 



ing of seasonable weather has been bring- 

 ing grist to every mill. Such a planting 

 season has never been known, and even 

 now it seems to be only just beginning. 

 The nurserymen all unite in giving this 

 spring the record for demand and ship- 

 ments, and the necessary advances in 

 prices seem to have caused no diminu- 

 tion in the trade. There is no limit to 

 the field. 



The growers anticipate a record de- 

 mand for Decoration day, if extensive 

 preparations are a guide. The green- 

 houses everywhere are full of promise 

 and plants of every suitable kind. 



Even the big Metropolitan Sunday pa- 

 pers are booming the bulb business this 

 spring, offering free with a coupon 

 "one gladiolus bulb and one tuberose 

 bulb up to Monday night or until the 

 supply is exhausted." 



Charles Thorley is now in his small 

 store on West Twenty-eighth street, a 

 temporary makeshift until the House of 

 Flowers, on the corner of Fifth avenue 

 and Forty-sixth street, opposite McCon- 

 nell's grand Arcade flower store and 

 conservatory, is opened in the fall. 



May 1 the great auto parade in New 

 York will take place; $2,000 in prizes 

 will be given for the finest decorations,. 

 $500 being offered for the winner of the 

 first honors. Here will be an opportunity 

 for the florists to demonstrate artistic 

 skill and at the same time reap consid- 

 erable pecuniary recompense. 



Mr. McKinney, who was with Charles 

 Thorley for years, has a temporary head 

 quarters also, at 110 West Twenty-eighth 

 street, but will be in his new store on 

 the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty- 

 second street toward the end of May. 

 This corner bids fair to be a great cen- 

 ter of the retail cut flower business in 

 the future. Before next Christmas a fel 

 low with a strong arm, say like Pop 

 Anson 's , could stand at Forty-second 

 street and Fifth avenue and throw «i 

 ball far enough to hit nine or ten of the 

 finest retail flower shops in the world. 



Harry A. Bunyard says the suggestion 

 of a sweet pea society has met with un 

 usual and enthusiastic response. 



Both Lyman B. Craw, of the Lord & 

 Burnham Co., and Frank Millang, of the 

 Cut Flower Exchange, are convalescing
