pipes, and this provoked considerable 

 discussion. Harry Turner, back from 

 England, gave a talk on his holiday 

 experiences there. 



Various Notes. 



In the plantsman's department of the 

 trade there is much to encourage the 

 growers. The new market which opens 

 April 1 at Fifty-ninth street will prove 

 a great boon and boom to the plant grow- 

 ers in and around New York. The open- 

 ing of the preliminary market will speed- 

 ily be followed by the completion of the 

 larger and permanent market under the 

 bridge, and already many other branches 

 of the trade are planning for oflSces, 

 branches and conveniences for display 

 that will bring them in daily touch with 

 a multitude of people. The outlook for 

 a great market is bright and Secretary 

 Siebrecht deserves great credit for his 

 persistency. 



The MacNiff Horticultural Co. reports 

 a wide demand for seeds and will de- 

 velop this branch of its business. 



The New Yorkers who accepted the 

 invitation of H. A. Dreer to visit the new 

 greenhouses at Eiverton are loud in praise 

 of the magnificent plant and the splen- 

 did reception accorded them. A telegram 

 from Wm. F. Dreer, who is in California, 

 was read by Mr. Thilow, who made the 

 welcoming address. An eloquent and 

 humorous oration by Robert Craig fol- 

 lowed. A buffet lunch was served and 

 special trains were provided for the 

 guests. The whole affair was up to the 

 Dreer standard. This immense new enter- 

 prise is only a beginning! 



Anton Schultheis, of College Point, 

 has been confined to the house with a 

 severe attack of the grip. Charles Mil- 

 lang has also lost several days in a fight 

 with the prevailing malady. 



Adolph Myer, Eightieth street and 

 Madison avenue, and Miss Delia Jacoby 

 will be married April 2. 



MacDonald & Schreiner, at Seventy- 

 first street and Lexington avenue, have 

 an up-to-date corner store and are fast 

 building up a good family trade. 



The Florists' Club's banquet this week 

 Saturday, at Shanley's, promises to be 

 the floricultural event of the season. 



J. McHutchison is traveling in South 

 America. 



The second monthly exhibition of the 

 Horticultural Society of New York took 

 place March 8 at the American Museum 

 of Natural History. A larger attendance 

 and plant display than usual was encour- 

 aging. Winthrop Sargent, of Fishkill, 

 won the silver medal for carnation 

 blooms, with his new white Wodenethe. 

 Scott Bros., of Elmsford, received a cer- 

 tificate of merit for their new red carna- 

 tion, William Eccles. Anton Zvolanek, 



of Bound Brook, received a certificate of 

 merit for his winter (flowering sweet 

 peas. Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, 

 N. J., showed many rare kinds of orchids 

 and received a silver medal for their un- 

 named Schroederai. 



Moore, Hentz & Nash have added a 

 shamrock side issue to their cut flower 

 enterprise. The demand for shamrock 

 plants of the genuine Irish parentage is 

 persistent this year. 



Charles A. Dards is enjoying a brief 

 holiday in the south. 



William Tricker, of Madison, N. J., 

 foreman for Charles Totty, was fortunate 

 a week ago in saving his home from de- 

 struction by fire. It was a close call. 



The attendance from New York at the 

 National Flower Show will be large. 

 Many will go by boat Friday evening, 

 March 24, and some will spend the entire 

 week at the Hub.

 all stock. He will carry on the business. 



Joseph B. Davis, 2152 Third avenue, 

 has been laid up at St. Luke's hospital 

 for several weeks with a broken knee 

 cap, his second experience of the kind 

 within a year. He is again attending to 

 business, but is carrying his knee in a 

 brace. 



Charles Thorley drives a big imported 

 C. G. V. automobile, just now under- 

 going an overhauling in the Brock 

 garage at Trenton. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



. The Market. 

 Trade has been rushing for the last 

 two weeks. There has been a great 

 deal of funeral work of late, which 

 has made the demand heavy on all 

 kinds of stock. The few clear days we 

 have had have increased the supply 

 considerably. Roses are more plentiful 

 than at any time this season, and car- 

 nations are coming in heavily. While 



the demand has been strong on them, 

 there has been quite a surplus and 

 some of the stores were offering spe- 

 cials on carnations March 11. Sweet 

 peas are plentiful, but demand for them 

 is excellent. Bulbous stock is coming 

 in heavily and the report from growers 

 here is that it will be hard to hold 

 some of the stock back for Easter^ 

 especially in the bulb line. 



Various Notes. ') 



All the greenhouses are taking on 

 the look of spring, with the repotting 

 of geraniums and the general line of 

 bedding stock. 



There was a meeting of the officers 

 of the Florists' Association at the 

 Chittenden hotel March 11, in refer- 

 ence to taking some action to drive the 

 Greeks off the streets. Quite a num- 

 ber have made their appearance in the 

 last week. 



The club dance March 8 was quite 

 a success in a financial way, as well 

 as providing a social good time.
