A fine crop of Schroederae and Moesiae. 



Mention Th*" "Review when vou write 



pities, sharing in the general reduction. 

 The shorter supply accounts for this. 

 Of Killarney there seems to be no end. 

 Some wholesalers receive from forty to 

 seventy-five boxes of these a day. The 

 street and the department stores are 

 the only outlets for this surplus and 

 the transient public is reaping the 

 benefit. The street men are offering 

 fresh long-stemmed roses at 10 cents 

 a bunch on every corner. The people 

 are surely being educated. Perhaps the 

 retailers may reap the benefit of this 

 later on. 



Carnations have fallen with roses. 

 Grand stock sold at $1 a hundred 

 April 20. Gigas, Mendellii and Mossise 

 tattleyas have held fairly well, but 

 Schroederffi has found the street mer- 

 chants, as was feared, and the depart- 

 ment stores actually advertise them as 

 low as 15 cents. Gardenias are badly 

 neglected, the stores only using a few 

 of the finest. For the common and 

 short stock the street is the only outlet. 

 Valley is down and lilies of all kinds 

 are at the lowest ebb. Of violets, spring 

 flowers and bulbous stock the less said 

 the better. 



Various Notes. 



The New York party of over twenty 

 to visit the London exhibition in May 



was booked on the Titanic. The loss 

 of the great ship may change the plans 

 of many and lessen the number who 

 will sail. 



The auction houses are both crowded 

 every Tuesday and Friday. 



Cyril Gorman, of the Lord & Burn- 

 ham Co., has secured the contract for 

 four pipe frame houses 32 x 200 from 

 the Denison Floral Co., of Uhrichs- 

 ville, O. 



Siebrecht & Siebrecht have secured 

 a farm of 230 acres, near Fort Edward, 

 on the Hudson, and are developing a 

 chicken raising industry there. 



Mr. and Mrs. Herman Steinhoff, of 

 West Hoboken, were not seriously in- 

 jured in the church collapse and will 

 be able to take their intended trip to 

 Bermuda early in May. Several of the 

 Long Island growers are booking for 

 the trip at the same time. 



Prof. Craig, of Cornell, who has been 

 in the Postgraduate hospital in this 

 city during the last five weeks, is rap- 

 idly improving. 



McHutchison & Co. report an order 

 for nearly 800 pounds of colored rafi[ia 

 from Melbourne, Australia. The nurs- 

 erymen are using different colors of 

 raffia to indicate the grade of trees. 

 This house has been obliged for many 

 weeks to refuse orders for French 



stocks, so pronounced is the scarcity 

 this season. The year's business is far 

 ahead of all records to date. 



Mr. Hunt, well known and popular 

 employee of the Julius Roehrs Co., was 

 lost with the Titanic. He was bringing 

 to the firm nearly $1,000 worth of rare 

 orchids. 



J. C. Silbert, New York manager for 

 H. M. Robinson & Co., says his shipping 

 trade is growing fast. 



Bonnot Bros, have leased their Floni- 

 ington, N. J., greenhouses to Jos. Wei- 

 man, of Brooklyn. Mr. Bonnot, the 

 retail florist of Jersey City, with Mrs. 

 Bonnot, sails May 8 on the Lusitania 

 for a stay of several months in Europe. 



Arthur T. Boddington has just re- 

 ceived a large bulb shipment from Wal- 

 lace & Co., of Colchester, England, in- 

 cluding many rare lilies, sulphureum 

 among them. Recent visitors reported 

 by Mr. Boddington were C. C. Reck, of 

 Bridgeport, Conn.; Geo. Thompson and 

 Edw. Norman, of Lenox, Mass., and A. 

 Whitelaw, of Noroton, Conn. 



Will Kessler and wife have returned 

 from their outing in the mountains. 



Julius Roehrs, Sr,, is recuperating at 

 Atlantic City. 



Jonathan Nash says his firm is plan- 

 ning for a thorough test of all the new
