The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Februaht 4, 1904. 



NEW HAVEN. CONN. 



The past week was promenade week 

 at Yale and brought with it scores of 

 handsome juniors who had their escorts 

 and chaperones, sisters and mothers 

 and many of their fathers, all of whom 

 were well supplied with violets and 

 Beauties soon after their arrival. 



Simons & Fox, of Hartford, made 

 their debut as promenade decorators 

 this year. Mrs. C. A. Fox managed the 

 work and with a woman's taste the 

 beautiful decorations in the Second Reg- 

 iment armory were planned and put in- 

 to place. The decorations were entire- 

 ly different from previous promenade 

 decorations and proved much more ef- 

 fective. 



The first work was to cover the ceil- 

 ing with the mammoth canopy, with 

 squares of white bunting bordered with 

 green. Three sections were left on 

 either side of the ceiling to form a 

 square from which the bunting was fes- 

 tooned toward the center, forming a 

 large dome which rose gracefully and 

 gradually. The center formed the mid- 

 dle point of a great burst of frosted 

 electric incandescent lights, more than 

 100 being used and shedding a brilliant 

 pure white light over the interior. From 

 this dome incandescent electric lights 

 alternated, stretching along the iron 

 supporters within the dome, and others 

 ran at right angles to the lines of 

 lights, in all about 600 incandescent 

 lights being strung for the canopy il- 

 lumination. Streamers of pink and 

 white ran with the lines of electric 

 lights from the great dome. 



The decorations on each side of the 

 hall had as a climax daintily construct- 

 ed arches which covered the music 

 stands. These were made of ribbons 

 and trimmed with smilax and roses. 

 Pink and white roses were suspended 

 from the dome in artistic baskets. Ap- 

 plegreen and white were the predom- 

 inant colors used in the general decora- 

 tions, mural tapestries being used lav- 

 ishly on the side walls. 



J." N. Champion got all the decora- 

 tions at the houses, some of which are 

 as follows: The Colony, decorated with 

 ropings of smilax and palms, tables with 

 yellow and pink roses. The St. An- 

 thony, palms, smilax and roping, vases 

 of carnations and roses, also pots of 

 azaleas. York Hall, masses of smilax 

 and palms, with carnations, roses and 

 azaleas scattered about in artistic pro- 

 fusion. S. H. Moore had the bulk of the 

 violet business in his own hands and it 

 is believed he had orders and filled them 

 to the amount of 80,000. S. H. W.
