The Clucas & Boddington Co. has ftii 

 immense quantity of cold storage val- 

 ley for Christmas flowering and Japan 

 longiflorum, auratum and speciosum of 

 special excellence and supply for anj 

 possible demand. 



P. R. Quinlan, of Syracuse, was in 

 town last week, purchasing goods for the 

 holiday trade. He reports his new range 

 of glass completed and large additions 

 contemplated during 1905. His new and 

 finely situated headquarters there give 

 him views and facilities unequalled by 

 any florist in western New York. 



F, J. Baker, of Utica, was in New 

 York on Friday. He has 60,000 square 

 feet of glass, to which he is adding 

 yearly, his ambition being to have an 

 output of 1,000,000 ferns yearly before 



many moons. The sales now easily go 

 above a quarter of a million. 



The Mr. Maser referred to in our is- 

 sue of November 24 as having been at 

 one time in the employ of J. V. Phillips, 

 of Brooklyn, should have been Mr. 

 Mauer. 



Harry Busby, who has worked for 

 many of the growers on Long Island, 

 was accidentally killed by his brother's 

 horse on Saturday, the sharp hoof sev- 

 ering the jugular vein. 



J, A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, is in 

 the city for a few days with samples 

 of his specialties, including the new 

 white begonia, Tumford Hall. 



John Harrison, of Jersey City, is now 

 shipping his entire product to James 

 McManus, including the White House 

 carnation, 1,000 a day of this popular 

 variety reaching him on the average. 

 Mr. McManus says it compares favora- 

 bly with any white in the market in 

 size and keeping quality. 



Adiantum Croweanum is now in fine 

 demand and the price holds at $1.50. 

 Mr. Eaynor, who controls this specialty 

 in New York, disposes of large quanti- 

 ties weekly. 



A great day for the New York Flor- 

 ists ' Club will be enjoyed by its mem- 

 bers on Friday of the present week. C. 

 W. Ward has provided a special train 

 for his visitors and an abundance of 

 good things and the Cottage Gardens 

 will be "investigated" as never before 

 in their history. The award committee 

 will pass upon the merits of Lieutenant 

 Peary. 



The club will hold its regular meeting 

 and the last one of the year at its rooms 

 in the Grand Opera House building next 

 Monday. The president declares it veill 

 be the banner meeting and Mr. Nugent 

 will signalize his final official manage- 

 ment as head of the commissary depart- 

 ment by special and personal generosi- 

 ties. The bowlers will meet at the alleys 

 on West Thirtieth street in the after- 

 noon. 



Bobbink & Atkins, of Rutherforo, make 

 steady progress. Their immense estab- 

 lishment is crowded with late importa- 

 tions, fine forcing lilacs, pot grown deut- 

 zias and other plants and shrubs in end- 

 less variety. Acacia paradoxa or armata 

 for Easter flowering is a plant growing 

 in popularity yearly for that season. Bay 

 trees, from $5 to $500 a pair, occupy a 

 house especially built for them. There is 



a fine stock of azaleas in bloom to be 

 drawn from daily through the winter 

 months. Palms range from 5 cents to 

 $150 each and there are H. P., tea and 

 standard roses in any quantity. No one 

 should visit New York without spending 

 a day with Bobbink & Atkins. To those 

 who have never been there the call will 

 surely be a revelation. 



Bowkn£. 



The bowling match between Hoboken 

 and the New York club on December 1 

 was a success, not only in attendance 

 and enthusiasm but in the maintenance 

 of the unbeaten record of the New York- 

 ers. After the banquet, interesting ad- 

 dresses were made by John Bimie and 

 Frank Traendly and a handsome toilet 

 novelty was presented Phil Kessler, the 

 winner of the high score of the evening,

 had his annual opening December 3 

 and made a great success of it, with mu-

 canary birds and finds it a profitable side
