The front of the MarNiff Horticul- 

 tural Company's building in Vesey 

 street is resplendent in green and 

 Christmas red, very tastily and effec- 

 tively done. 



Hoosler Beauty, as grown by L. B. 

 Coddington and marketed by H. B. 

 Froment, Is one of the finest dark 

 red roses ever seen In this city. It 

 brings the price all right 



Frank H. Traendly Is again able to

"The House of Ferns" is the title of 

 a new wholesale place at 41 West 28th 

 street. Their only specialty for the 

 present is Florida-grown Asparagus 



Chrysnnthemum Alexjindpr Onttmnn. 



plumosus, which Is shipped here by 

 fast express from the farms in Florida. 



An unusual number of fine imported 

 hollies, with perfect foliage and heav- 

 ily loaded with berries are to be seen 

 in this market this season. Our na- 

 tive holly looks very interior when 

 compared with these attractive little 

 trees. 



The real thing In Dendrobium for- 

 mosum giganteiim Is a regal flower. 

 We were attracted by a dish of them 



in Walter R. Seibrecht's window and 

 they were truly giganteums in size. 

 This flower still holds its own as a 

 bridal specialty. 



Phil. F. Kessler is receiving a very 

 beautiful single pink chrysanthemum 

 which finds a very rapid sale under the 

 name of "pink daisy." There are two 

 or three rows of petals and the color 

 is in the class with the pyrethrums as 

 to clearness of tint. • 



One gets some faint idea of the 

 enormous dimensions of the trade in 

 florists' decorative greens by a look-in 

 at Kervan's establishment at this sea- 

 son of the year. It is one of the busiest 

 spots in the wholesale district and the 

 new building they have recently added 

 was much needed. 



Guttman & Raynor are exploiting a 

 new early flowering chrysanthemum, 

 originated by Frank Dinda of Farming- 

 dale, N. Y., and named .\lexander Gutt- 

 man. Its character is well shown in 

 the cut which appears herewith. Its 

 color is lavender pink and it does not 

 shed the bloom when one or two pet- 

 als are pulled out. The foliage is not 

 too large and it can be planted quite 

 close. By taking a bud about August 

 1st a nice exhibition bloom may be had 

 by middle of September. The parents 

 are Beatrice May x a 3-year pink seed- 

 ling. It was awarded a certificate of 

 merit by the New York Florists' Club. 



D. C. Arnold & Co., who conduct a 

 wholesale cut flower market at West 

 28th street under the management of H. 

 Weiss, have a modern range of carna- 

 tion houses at Babylon, N. Y., consist- 

 ing of three Lord & Burnham houses, 

 each 50x300 and one 60x300. Their pet 

 novelty at the present time Is Mrs. 

 Arnold, a light pink sport from Mrs. 

 C. W. Ward, which has attained In- 

 stant popularity with the trade hero 

 because of its good keeping character 

 and Its exceptional color, which is a 

 little deeper than that of Enchantress 

 but with a rare salmon glow and a 

 suggestion of orange when seen on 

 the plant in the sunlight.
