Mention The Review when you write. 



club's last monthly meeting never seemed 

 in better health and spirits. Re will be 

 sadly missed by all who know him. 



David Clarke's Sons had several large 

 fhiirch and home wedding decorations 

 last week. 



Mr. Warondorff, manager at the An- 

 son la flower store on Broadway, has re- 

 turned healthful from a month's holiday 

 in Bermuda, and with a distinct English 

 accent. 



Harry C'rawbuck. of Brooklyn, has 

 added more nursery land to his place at 

 Hummit. N. J., and will soon be cutting 

 < logwood, lilac and apple branches for 

 the decorations in the city of churches. 



Interesting visits last week to Louis 

 Schmutz, Alfred Zeller, A. Demeusy, H. 

 Mession. Dailledouze Bros., and others, 

 in Flatbush, found in the big plants of 



the first two extensive preparations for 

 flowering plants for Decoration day, 

 while at David Mellis' the new houses 

 built since last year and the large outdoor 

 plantings indicate a rapidly growing 

 cemetery trade locally and a goodly 

 daily shipment of cut flowers to the 

 (xreater New York Florists' Association 

 on Livingston street, of which society 

 he is the president. At the other estab- 

 lishments carnations hold almost absolute 

 sway. Mr. Demeusy has built two large 

 houses for them, and grows all the popu- 

 lar varieties. Hession's output, sold by 

 Ford Bros., always is in request by those 

 who realize his skill as a grower. Daille- 

 douze Bros, have fifty-eight varieties of 

 seedlings under trial, which beats the 

 Heinz record of fifty-seven, but the 

 White House is the queen of them all. 



At a meeting of the Retail Florists' 

 Protective Association, April 21, resolu- 

 tions were adopted on the death of the 

 late John Scott, and an engrossed copy 

 forwarded to the family with the sig- 

 natures of President Charles A. Dards 

 and Secretary Herman WarendorflF. A 

 committee consisting of M. A. Bowe, 

 Herman Warendorff, Gottlieb Myer and 

 J. P. Klausner is working to secure city 

 legislation making it necessary to hold a 

 license to peddle flowers on the streets. 



Bowling. 



The bowling scores made Monday even- 

 ing, April 26, were as follows: 



Roelirs 104 113 



Faulkner 10« 114 115 134 ... 



Berry 143 148 137 ... 176 



Manda 209 152 156 137 ... 



J. Austin Shaw. 



Wertheimer Bros, last week made a 

 shipment of ribbons to a leading florist 

 at Belfast, Ireland. Florists all over the 

 world have ordered Wertheimer 's rib- 

 bons. 



Wm. Hagemann & Co. have been incor- 

 porated, with $50,000 capital stock, by V. 

 P. Donihoe, R. S. Batson and C. S. Clark. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



A recent issue of a local newspaper 

 contains a picture of a large vase of 

 Beauty roses, and standing by their side 

 is a lady who, though presumably of 

 good height, looks diminutive in contrast 

 with the tall flowers, and is trying, grace- 

 fully but in vain, to reach some of the 

 topmost blooms. Under the picture are 

 the words: "This picture gives refuta- 

 tion to the general impression that 9-foot 

 stem American Beauty roses cannot be 

 grown in New Orleans. The roses shown 

 were grown by the Metairie Ridge Nurs- 

 ery Co., Ltd., of which H. Papwortii is 

 president. ' ' 



Richmond, Ind.— William Meine, for 

 years a traveling salesman for the Chas. 

 Knopf Floral Co. and now a member of 

 the firm of Meine & Noss, was married 

 in Chicago to Miss Anna Michelsen. of 

 that city, April 6. As Mr. Meine is well 

 known among the florists throughout the 

 country, the congratulations wjH doubt- 

 less be numerous and sincere.
