50 Barclay Street, NEW YORK. 



KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



The almost continuous dull weather 

 for the past month has shortened the 

 cut of all kinds of stock. While the cut 

 was large, it was not anything like 

 what was anticipated for the holiday 

 season. 



Roses were of fine quality, but not 

 over plentiful. Beauties particularly 

 are of a very high grade. Carnations 

 were really fine and the demand for 

 them brisk. Wholesale prices ruled 

 much the same as Chicago. Retail 

 prices were: For roses. $1..50 to $2.50 

 per dozen; carnations 7.5 eent^ to $1.50 

 j)er dozen. There has been little or no 

 complaint of sleepiness or salted stock. 

 Violets to all appearance were a short 

 crop and commanded a ready sale at 

 good prices. 



The supply of asparagus, sniilax and 

 adiantuni was ample, and a good trade 

 was done in these. Ilolly. mistletoe 

 and other greens were plentiful. The 

 trade done in azaleas, palms, ferns and 

 other pot plants was in excess of la.st 

 year. Comparing with last year's trade 

 (here is a good margin in favor of the 

 present. 



That saucy urchin. Cupid, has again 

 been sneaking around the Van Bochove 

 establishment. This time he aimed his 

 .shaft at our worthy friend. Garret Van 

 Bochove and got him. The wedding 

 took place on the ]7th inst. The bride 

 was Mrs. .Tohanna Heng.st, also of this 

 city. They will reside in their elesant 

 new home on Portage street. R. 



FLATBUSH, N. Y. 



Tlie closing '•bowl" of the old year 

 at I'Tatbush Thursday evening was light- 

 ly attended. Xext week's "reguTar'' 

 will be turned into a "turkev special'' 

 early in 190.3. at which a large attend- 

 ance is expected. By that time, too, it 

 will be determined whether the New 

 Vork chib has "risen from its ashes." 

 Tlie scores are creditable for a holiday 

 efTort, with Riley as usual corralling all 

 the "pots" and so pro%-iding a cerUiinty 

 for the three pairs of stockings Christ- 

 mas eve.
