mPf.-wi^ ifTW^: -Ti~T ^.a'-r ■-J'r NOVBMBER 21, 1907. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 19 before the end of the week. Thanks- giving will. Btir things up, and, while .prices will remain reasonable, the volume of business promises to be large. Various Notes. CrecKtors of Hicks & Crawbuck, Brooklyn, filed a petition in bankruptcy against tnem last week, and E. T. O 'Con- nor, Jr., was appointed receiver. He is continuing the business, and it is hoped that early resumption of the firm can be arranged, for it is stated that assets, including book accounts, more than equal the liabilities. Frank S. Hicks with- <lrew from the firm last June and, al- though his name is retained, is now of Prank S. Hicks & Co., New York. deary's Horticultural Co. has just re- ceived sixty-two cases of azaleas, rhodo- dendrons and other nursery stock. They are having good sales, with large attend- ance. The Plant Growers' Association will Jocate its headquarters in Twenty-eighth street if a suitable building can be se- cured. This society includes all the ex- pert growers in and near New York. Joseph Fenrich is receiving a grade of Bride from Kobert Schultz, of Madi- son, that is bard to beat, and Totty's novelties in mums are seen here daily. A. J. Guttman calls attention to grand stock of Dr. Enguehard, Eaton, Maud Dean and Golden and White Chadwick, from Jacob Hauk, of Bloomfield, N. J. John Young reports the Cottage Gar- <len8 now cutting a large crop of fancy carnations. Henry Hessian's cut, as seen at Ford Bros.', shows that if quality were the test this would be the height of the season. John King Duer, who has been quite ill, is now recovering. J. J. Coan, man- ager of this establishment, says since society returned to town business has been satisfactory. The general effect produced in this handsome store makes it quite distinct and unique among New York flower shops. William H. Kuebler, of Brooklyn, says his business is again beyond the ca- pacity of his store, and more room is a necessity, aa last year. He says he will have chrysanthemums for Christmas. J. K. Allen must be a Princeton sym- pathizer, judging by the number of yellow mums he shipped to the football enthusiasts at New Haven on Saturday. Walter Sheridan is on deck again, fully recovered and optimistic as to the future of the cut flower market, with the rise and fall of which he has been con- versant for just a quarter of a century. Tons of flowers were used at the funeral of Charles T. Barney, late presi- <lent of the Knickerbocker Trust Co. N^early every prominent florist had a share of the work. Lucien M. Underwood, botanist and professor at Columbia College, commit- ted suicide November 17. Karl Kammann and Miss Elizabeth Wade were married November 10 at the Church of the Ascension. Miss Wade is a sister of Thomas J. Wade, man- ager of Bloomingdale's cut flower de- partment. Mr. Kammann is with Joseph Leikens, and a two weeks' vacation and $100 from his employer was one of the wedding gifts. Perkins & Nelson are receiving fine stock of cypripediums from the same grower who has shipped orchids to the veteran since 1882. C. C. Trepel, of Brooklyn, opens a branch store next week on Lexington

Chrysanthemum Mary Mason. street, opposite Losier's, which he will call the Blossom. It has a 50-foot show window. Mr. Trepel handles the entire mum stock of Mr. Meesum, of Elm- hurst, over 40,000 blooms to date this year. He sells as high as 5,000 fern- dishes, filled, weekly, and his Saturday sales have reached as high as 8,000 each of roses and carnations and 10,000 chrysanthemums. G. Myer has thoroughly refitted his handsome store at Madison avenue and Fifty-eighth street, and with his big ex- panse of glass makes some effective window decorations. Many unique fea- tures attest his versatility. He has built a reputation for house and church decorations, and numbers many of the society leaders among his patrons. He has branched out also into landscaping, and the grounds of Brokaw at Great Neck and of Dr. Dennis at Norfolk, Conn., demonstrate his skill. Mr. Myer was in the employ of Alex McConnell for twenty years before venturing on the business sea on his own account. Hanft Bros., Madison avenue and Fifty-eighth street, will move to the cor- ner of Sixty-second street and Madison avenue March 1. Their new store will have a frontage of lOO feet on Madison avenue, and plate glass windows will make possible one of the largest deco- rative displays in the city. The locality is on© of the best in New York, and close to the fine stores of Warendorff, John King Duer, Myer, Stumpp and Bloomingdale. For the first time in a generation, Mr. Hanft informed me, there will be no Arion ball this season. They have decorated for this great year- ly feature for a quarter of a century. At Bloomingdale's, Manager Burnham has in the great roof conservatories two century plants that have drawn great crowds of interested flower lovers for weeks and will continue to do so until nearly Christmas. The plants were at one time owned by Louis Menand, of Albany, and were purchased from him by W. A. Manda, from whom Mr. Bum- ham secured them. The greenhouses here are stocked with the best of ferns, palms and plants of every kind. Espe- cially good are the branched ficus of Fritz Dressel and the Scottii and Whit- mani ferns. Mr. Burnham declares that no decrease in trade has been noted this fall. He maintains prices that average as high as those, of the leading retail stores. J. Austin Shaw. Lake Geneva, Wis.—The Lake Geneva Gardeners' Association closed its third annual exhibition November 16. The quality and number of exhibits were the best in the three years. The principal ex- hibitors were J. J. Mitchell, N. W. Har- ris, E. T. Crane, Mrs. Kellogg Fair- banks, C. L. Hutchinson, George Stur- gis, Mrs. B. N. Isham and M. A. Ryer- son, although there were many others. /
