The Florists' Review 



DUCEMBEB 12, 1912. 



session in Albany the latter part of 

 January. 



The annual meeting of the New York 

 and New Jersey Association of Plant 

 Growers was held December 3, at 

 Kalil's. After the usual banquet the 

 society decided to give two cash prizes 

 of $25 each for the National Flower 

 Show, one for the best bed of fifty 

 geraniums, and the other for the best 

 bed of plants, exclusive of geraniums. 

 A request was sent the publicity com- 

 mittee of the Florists' Club that atten- 

 tion be directed to plants as well as cut 

 flowers for the special days the com- 

 mittee is featuring. The following offi- 

 cers were elected: President, Louis 

 Dupuy, Whitestone, L. I.; vice-presi- 

 dent, John H. Fiesser, North Bergen, 

 N. J.; treasurer, Hermann C. Steinhoff, 

 West Hoboken, N. J.; secretary, Wm. 

 H. Siebrecht, Jr., New York; directors, 

 Alfred L. Zeller, Brooklyn; Julius 

 Roehrs, Rutherford, N. J., and H. Bau- 

 mann, West Hoboken, N. J. 



The annual banquet and dance of the 

 New Jersey Floricultural Society will 

 be held in East Orange, January 15. 



John A. Foley, manager for Lecakes 

 & Co., has just added to his express 

 facilities an auto truck costing $3,500. 

 His success in this department of his 

 work has been phenomenal. 



James McManus has moved to 105 

 West Twenty-eighth street, where he 

 will have increased space. This com- 

 pletes the quintette of stores erected 

 by John D. Nicholas, all the equals of 

 any wholesale cut flower store in the 

 city and now occupied by Mr. Mc- 

 Manus, Wm. Ford, Siebrecht & Sie- 

 brecht, the Growers' Cut Flower Co. 

 and Wm. Kessler. 



Woodrow & Marketos will have a 

 branch store for the holiday on Sixth 

 avenue, between Twenty-seventh and 

 Twenty-eighth streets, handling plants 

 of all varieties. 



Many fine specimen evergreens adorn 

 the front of the store of Young & Nu- 

 gent and already a Christmas aspect is 

 presented. 



M. A. Bowe will have a branch store 

 as usual, for Christmas. His location 

 close' to the Waldorf-Astoria is one of 

 the best in the city, the new Vanderbilt 

 hotel being only a block away. 



The blooming plant supply for Christ- 

 mas, at College Point, Flatbush, Jersey 

 and on Long Island, is superb this sea- 

 son. No grower is short, but apparently 

 every plant of value will be disposed of. 



The Bedford Floral Co., at Bedford 

 Hills, has its artesian wells and high 

 chimney completed and Moore, Hentz 

 & Nash say everything on the big plant 

 is moving satisfactorily. 



Mrs. Kessler is in charge of Wm. 

 Kessler 's oflSce during the holiday 

 season. 



Geo. Cotsonas & Co. are occupying a 

 branch store at 45 West Twenty-eighth 

 street during the holiday season. 



L. B. Coddington was in the city last 

 week, the guest of H. E. Froment. 



Paul Meeoni and Miss Frieda Behrend, 

 his bookkeeper, who will wed December 

 14, will enjoy their honeymoon trip 

 after the busy holiday season is over. 



Phil Kessler, in the Coogan building, 

 has fitted up a new office. 



Charles Millang is celebrating his 

 twenty-eighth anniversary in the busi- 

 ness. 



A. J. Guttman, Inc., has received a 

 rather unique Christmas present from 

 the landlord — a reduction of one-third 

 in the rental of the fioor. Mr. Guttman
