the business Saturday, May 8. R. M. 

 sichultz, of Madigon, N. J., »ill be asso- 

 ciated with the management. The store 

 is one of the finest in the locality. 



Mr. and Mrs. K. J. Irwin, of Phila- 

 delphia, are visiting New York. 



A fir^ at W. H. Siebrecht's place in 

 Astoria, Sunday night, May 2, which 

 started near the boiler, destrpyed the en- 

 tire cut of valley and other bulbous stock 

 ready for the early Monday market, and 

 burned the floors above the cellar in the 

 greenhouses, doing considerable damage. 



Harry Hoffmeir has just returned from 

 Atlantic City, where his greenhouses are 

 filled with fine bedding stock and where 

 he will give his personal attention to the 

 summer trade. 



The funeral of Herman Dreyer and the 

 death of A. C. Schroeter will be found 

 reported in the obituary column on an- 

 other page. 



Tlje plantsmen are looking forward 

 hopefully to Decoration day and. if any- 

 thing is left, the auctions will make short 

 and profitable work of the stirplus. With 

 a daily sale by the Fruit Auction Co., and 

 the usual Tuesday and Friday auctions 

 at Elliott's and Cleary's. an enormous 

 amount of stock is being distributed, and 

 at better average prices than ever before 

 realized. Ambrose Cleary'S big store 

 was completely filled with bay trees last 

 week, and this week the Fruit Auction 

 Co. is offering a big consignment of the 

 same. The Julius Roehrs Co. and Bob- 

 bink & Atkins are receiving their ship- 

 ments, reaching up into the thousands, 

 and many other prominent growers, in- 

 cluding Anton Schultheis, of College 

 Point, are importing bay trees in quan- 

 tity, so that it seems everyone who wishes 



will 'be able to enjoy the summer under 

 his own vine and bay tree, while all the 

 lajge hotels evidently consider their out- 

 side decorations incomplete without them. 



Monday evening. May 10, the monthly 

 meeting of the Florists' Club takes place 

 at tjie rooms in the C4rand Opera House 

 building. Any plants sent in care of 

 Secretary Young will be properly staged 

 for exhibition. An interesting address 

 prepared by Charles Allen, of Floral 

 Park, because of his continued feeble- 

 ness will be read by Patrick O'Mara. 

 The subject is "Plant Development." 



The auto carnival was postponed until 

 Monday, May 3, bv?ause of the abomi- 

 nable weather. A better day could not 

 have been chosen. The parade started at 

 2 o'clock. One division was entirely de- 

 voted to decorated cars. Many of the 

 leading florists had been engaged, and 

 the artistic effects exceeded all expecta- 

 tions. The prize winners will not be de- 

 termined until later. Last week Herman 

 "Warendorff won first prize for the best 

 decorated building, using smilax .-ind 

 roses, for the White Steamer Auto Co. 

 Mr. Warendorff had the decoration of 

 three autos for the parade. 



Sunday, May 2, the Prospect park 

 greenhouses in Brooklyn were opened to 

 the public for the annual spring display, 

 the finest the park oflBcials have ever 

 made. Many thousands of visitors en- 

 joyed the sight. 



Long Island is to have an "Old Home 

 Week" festival, beginning June 12 and 

 lasting until June 17. the day of the 

 opening of the great Queensboro bridge. 

 This bridge opens up a section of the 

 big city where dozens of florists reside, 

 and adds enormously to land values.

The American Ice Co. has added sixty- 

 six and two-thirds per cent to the whole- 

 s.ile rate for ice this week, the old price 

 of $3 a ton having been raised to $5. 

 This seriously concerns the wholesale 

 florists. There seems to be littlfe excuse
