growers last week found evidence of 

 great expectations for the final floral 

 demonstration of the spring season. A call 

 upon the seedsmen finds the night and 

 day method of distribution still a neces- 

 sity, and the demand exceeds all other 

 years in this and the nursery departments 

 of horticulture, at any rate within a 

 radius of twenty-five miles of New York 

 city. 



Various Notes. 



The wholesale cut flower branch of the 

 trade is now wisely contemplating a Sun- 

 day closing movement. In fact, on Sat- 

 urday night the committee in charge of 

 the departure had secured the signature 

 of nearly every wholesaler, and those who 

 had signed seemed more than pleased with 

 the innovation. There is no good reason 

 why the wholesale cut flower merchant 

 should open his doors at all on Sunday, 

 and most of the retailers would welcome 

 a similar decision. May 1 will doubtless 

 find the scheme almost universally 

 adopted. 



May 10 the New York Florists' Club 

 will hold its spring meeting. 



Astoria has decided to enter the S. A. 

 F. convention contest, and will give a 

 good account of itself. 



W. H. Kuebler, the wholesale florist in 

 Brooklyn, has doubled the capacity of his 

 store and added a florists' supply de- 

 partment to his enterprise, which his 

 brother will manage. All the Brooklyn 

 wholesalers have cause for encourage- 

 ment in the rapid growth of their busi- 

 ness during the last year. There has 

 been constant progression yearly. 



Jay Hammer, of the Bonnet & Blake 

 store, is claimed to be a hero by the firm 

 since Monday. April 19, when he rescued 

 a child at a fire in Brooklyn and carried 

 it down a ladder to safety. 



A. L. Young opens this week, Satur- 

 day, May 1, the Manhattan flower mar- 

 ket at 46 West Twenty-eighth street. Mr. 

 Young will fix up the big store with 

 many conveniences for growers, and ex- 

 pects to let the entire space to cut 

 flowers and plantsmen. He has leased 

 his own store at 54 West Twenty-eighth 

 street until 1914.

were attended by the largest gathering 

 of the trade ever seen in this vicinity. 

 Robert Craig, of Philadelphia, many 

 members of the New York Florists' Club 

 from adjacent towns and cities and al- 

 most every active member of the Plant 

 Growers' Association paid this last token 

 of sorrow and respect to his memory. The 

 floral offerings filled many carriages. 

 The walls were banked to the ceiling with 

 them, and a blanket of valley and Rich- 

 monds from the Plant Growers' Associa- 

 tion was especially beautiful. The New 

 York Florists' Club, of which he was an 

 honored ex-president and loyal member, 

 and dozens of his friends in the whole- 

 sale and retail trade, sent these evidences 

 of sympathy and loving remembrance. 

 Rev. Scott, his brother, took part in the 

 solemn services and at the grave. He 

 was buried with Masonic honors. Over 

 fifty carriages accompanied the remains 

 to the cemetery. His friends and asso- 

 ciates have been greatly shocked by this 

 sad event. No more popular man, with 

 a larger circle of friends, has been called 

 away in this generation. He has toiled 

 faithfully for nearly twenty years, had 

 built up his business on a sure founda- 

 tion and was just beginning to enjoy the 

 fruit of his labors when so suddenly 

 taken. The heartfelt sympathy of all
