19 



Hughes, William Scott and Ernest 

 Prins. 



George V. Nash started July 1 for a 

 iponth^s trip to Seattle. He was ac- 

 companied by Mrs. Nash. 



' Now that the outing of the New 

 York nbrists' Club, held July 2, is 

 ancient history, the next picnic that 

 concerns the metropolitan florists is the 

 Greek-American outing next week, Mon- 

 day, July 8. This will be the society's 

 sixth anniversary. The steamer Isabel 

 has been engaged, and Wetzel's grove 

 will be the rendezvous, as usual. 



Chairman Traendly, of the New York 

 Florists' Club's transportation commit- 

 tee, desires an immediate response as 

 to the attendance of New Yorkers at 

 the S. A. F. convention. Unless a total 

 of 100' is assured, there will be no spe- 

 cial train, and the expense of the trip 

 will be greatly increased. Send your 

 name at once to Mr. Traendly if you 

 intend to go. 



The Elberon Society's summer exhibi- 

 tion, for which Asbury Park has guar- 

 anteed the $200 prize list, is on this 

 week. A large delegation from New 

 York city is certain, and there will be 

 gardeners from all over the country. 



The New York delegation to the 

 sweet pea show ■ will go by boat - Fri- 

 day evening, July 12, chaperoned by 

 Secretary Bunyard, whose' especial pet 

 the society has been from its incep- 

 tion. : 



Messrs. Totty and Bunyard will en- 

 tertain the New York Florists' Club 

 with stereopticon lectures at its Sep- 

 tember meeting on "The Great London 

 Flower Show" and "Wanderings in 

 Europe." These gentlemen have re- 

 turned full of interesting reminiscences 

 and greatly benefited in health and 

 avoirdupois by their five weeks' 

 travel. 



President Vincent and Mrs. Vincent 

 arrived in New York Sunday, June 30. 

 They reached Baltimore in time to have 

 a look at the Democratic deadlock. 

 Both are most enthusiastic over their 

 reception in Europe and the wonderful 

 exhibition in London. 



Fred Luther, of Carlstadt, N. J., suc- 

 cessor to J. Willman, was a recent vis- 

 itor. 



James Coyle, the wholesale florist, 

 has secured the store at 101 West 

 Twenty-eighth street, close to Sixth 

 avenue, which is an excellent location, 

 roomy and convenient. 



Mr. Seheider, with Max Schling, is 

 away on his wedding trip. Mr. Schling 

 leaves for his vacation August 1. 



Eobert A. Clifford is not now in the 

 employ of the A. T. Bunyard Co. 



The windows of Dards' store, at 

 Forty-fourth street and Madison ave- 

 nue, are attracting great attention 

 these days, some artistic and original 

 decorative and suggestive work being 

 featured. 



J. J. Coan, of the Growers' Cut 

 Flower Co., is greatly cramped for 

 room. The company did not anticipate 

 so rapid a growth when it secured its 

 present quarters. 



P. J. Smith is enjoying the summer 

 with his family at Rockaway. 



Messrs. Golsner and Radice, of the 

 Moore, Hentz & Nash force, are away 

 on their annual vacations. 



L. W. Kervan attended the reunion 

 of his Army Post at Newburgh, N. Y., 

 last week. 



Maurice L. Glass has excellent space 

 ■on the Guttman floor of the Coogan 



building and has secured as foreman 

 Sam Salzberg, formerly with Henshaw 

 & Fenrich. 



Abrams, of Brooklyn, secured the or- 

 der for the daisy chains and decora- 

 tions for the Erasmus high school last 

 week and Manager Mi/chel and his 

 force had no sleep for forty-eight hours, 

 so extensive was the order. 



Charles C. Trepel leaves early in 

 July, with Mrs. Trepel and family, for 

 a recuperative holiday in the moun- 

 tains. 



H. M. Bobinson, of Boston, is in the 

 city. He- is summering at Green Har- 

 bor, R. I. 



Mr. Schumann will open a wholesale 

 business in the Coogan building Au- 

 gust 1. 



Mr. Silbert, manager of the local 

 branch of H. M. Robinson & Co., with 

 Mrs. Silbert, is in the Catskills for 

 three weeks. 



Mr. Kelly, bookkeeper for M. C. 



linVERY now and then a weU- 

 llS pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to 



ifV/E0^ 



Such friendly assistance is thorouglily 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. 'We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florist's use 

 not at present advertised. 



FLORISTS* PUBLISHING CO. 

 S30-60 Caxton Bldg. Chicago 



Ford, has the sympathy of the craft 

 in the death of his son. 



Peter Reinberg, of Chicago, was a 

 recent visitor. J. Austin Shaw. 



Ogden, Utah. — A greenhouse will be 

 erected at the State School for the Deaf 

 and Blind. According to present plans, 

 it will cost about $1,500 and will be 

 completed before September 1. 



Ada, Okla.— W. E. Pitt, a florist with 

 a lifetime experience in the work, is 

 preparing to build a greenhouse, the 

 first one in town, and will grow both 

 flowers and vegetables for the local 

 market. 



Duluth, Minn.— Wm, H. E. Jaap, of 

 the Lester Park Greenhouses, has en- 

 gaged an architect to prepare plans for 

 a concrete residence, ofiice and green- 

 house. It is expected that the build- 

 ings will be erected this summer and 

 will cost about $12,000. 



La Salle, HI. — Robert A. Simmen had 

 charge of the decorations for the Nad- 

 ler-Roth and Becker-Roth double wed- 

 ding. The display of flowers was un- 

 usually elaborate, both in the Episcopal 

 church in this city and in the Roth resi- 

 dence at Peru, and Mr. Simmen is said 

 to have done the work in a thoroughly 

 artistic style. 



OINOINNATL 



The Gateway to the South. 



Business, as a whole, is everything 

 that could be desired. Last week, on 

 Monday and Tuesday, trade was rush- 

 ing; next Thursday it was only ordi- 

 nary; the close was good. The ship- 

 ping business has been excellent. 



Of roses there is an ample supply 

 and all are of good quality. The aver- 

 age cut has decreased, owing to the 

 fact that many growers are replanting 

 their stock. This has, however, served 

 a good present purpose, for now the 

 supply and demand are about equal 

 and, as a result, the market for this 

 line holds firm'. American Beauties 

 are good, both in respect to quantity 

 and quality, «md lnrro-be©»- selling well. 

 Other roses include Killarney, Whit© 

 Killarney, good Brides and Maids, 

 Richmond, Kaiserin, Ivory and Maman 

 Cochet. Carnations are in good supply, 

 but the demand is not particularly 

 active. The call seems to be shifting 

 from these to the newer outdoor blooms. 

 Still, practically all of the better ones 

 are utilized each day. 



The outdoor sweet peas have been 

 coming in strongly and, so far, have 

 hardly ever passed through a better 

 season. The quality of the blooms has 

 been good, with long stems, and the 

 sales have been fair. Gladioli clean up 

 nicely. It is only now and thep that 

 any quantity goes to waste or is sacri- 

 ficed. The asters meet with a better 

 call than they did at first and now are 

 cleaned out at fair prices. To the lily 

 line have been added auratums in quan- 

 tity; they meet with a fair call. The 

 Easter lilies are still in large supply; 

 the sales, however, are slightly bettor. 

 In the green goods market there is a 

 good call for all lineS), particularly 

 ferns. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell is making arrange- 

 ments for the largest quantity of ferns 

 in the ensuing year that he has ever 

 handled. At present he is finding the 

 demand for ferns, both locally and 

 from out of town, quite good. 



Mr. aijd Mrs. E. G. Gillett have as 

 their guests Mr. and Mrs. Clarence 

 Ohmer and son. Mr. Ohmer, who is a 

 grower of choice decorative greens at 

 West Palm Beach, Fla., will accom- 

 pany Mr. Gillett to the convention at 

 Chicago, in August. 



L. H. Kyrk is finding a nice call for
