Various Notes. 



David Clarke's Sons are ready for 

 Christmas, if their well stocked big store 

 is any indication. The only anxiety 

 seems to be the need of room. Novel- 

 ties in miniature mantel decorations at- 

 tract much attention. Hundreds of bas- 

 kets filled with flowering and foliage 

 plants will be the specialty here tMs 

 season. 



Thorley and Fleischman now have a 

 quartette of retail stores, straws which 

 show which way the wind of progress 

 and opportunity is blowing in this fsist^ 

 growing metropolis, and yet there is 

 room. 



Charles Millang has three centers of 

 trade this season, in all of which busi- 

 ness has been booming. At his new 

 premises on Twenty-eighth street, near 

 Fifth avenue, he contemplates a plant 

 market in the spring. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr., has some grand ship- 

 ments of violets daily that compare fa- 

 vorably with anything coming down the 

 river. 



McManus has made elaborate prepa- 

 rations for the Christmas orchid de- 

 mand. He reports the long distance 



telephone warm with inquiries and ad- 

 vance orders, the scarcity of the supply 

 making early engagements a wise pre- 

 caution. 



As the years roll J. K. Allen's busi- 

 ness grows. "Every morning at six" 

 the bird of good omen sings his spng 

 of hope. Most roosters of 20 years are 

 tough, but this is an exception to the 

 rule. 



Perkins & Schumann are delighted 

 with the new store and the first Christ- 

 mas there promises to be an inspiration. 

 The union of young blood and the vet- 

 eran of 1872 cannot but win a share of 

 the constantly growing prosperity of the 

 wholesale business. 



Ford Bros, report a year double any 

 other in their history. So much for the 

 big store and its conveniences and un- 

 sullied reputation. It 's a good sign when 

 growers never change their representa- 

 tives. 



James Hart has a big store and is 

 adding holly and other Christmas ever- 

 greens to his cut flower department. 

 He has done a large business in hotel 

 winter decoration this fall and is as am- 

 bitious as he was in 1871, when he was 

 the pioneer. Thirty-five years is a long 

 pull in the wholesale flower business. 



William Starke has made a ^e repu-- 

 tation for himself as a plantsman and is 

 fast building up a business that is per- 

 manent and creditable. His trade in 

 evergreens, boxwood, palms and ferns 

 the last three months has been phenom- 

 enal. 



A. Warendorff's windows never looked 

 more attractive thaji now, though they 

 are never commonplace and always dem- 

 onstrate artistic taste and skill.
