moving at their headquarters in the 

 Coogan building, where Mr. Nash pre- 

 sides with the suavity of one to the 

 manor born. 



The tropical effect at the great store 

 of Alexander McConnell in the Arcade 

 on Fifth avenue is intensified by the 

 height of the ceilings. The move to this 

 splendid center was most wise and busi- 

 ness has increased beyond all anticipa- 

 tion. 



A. Herrmann reports a tremendous 

 Christmas trade, a shortage in moss 

 wreaths and immortelles and the usual 

 yearly growth. 



The National Florists ' Board of Trade 

 reports many accessions to membership 

 in the last few weeks. 



H. E. Froment has maintained and en- 

 larged the big business of his prede- 

 cessor and is increasing his total daily 

 output to record figures as the products 

 of his extensive growers increase. His 

 receipts of Beauties from the new 

 houses of his patrons are now enormous. 

 The old force of lieutenants remains. 



John Seligman & Co. have built up a 

 fine trade during 1906. Their big store 

 IS excellently located. These young men 

 are both popular and the coming year 

 will mark still greater progress. 



A. M. Henshaw says the square deal 

 is bearing fruit. His present quarters 

 are limited when the bulk and growth of 

 his trade are considered. 



George Cotsonas & Co. now occupy 

 the whole store at 50 West Twenty- 

 eighth street. It is none too large for 

 the immense trade in ferns, galax and 

 wreathing which they are doing for the 

 holidays. Day and night an increased 

 force is at work on orders. 



A. L. Young & Co. have abundant 



room and conveniences now that the ad- 

 dition to their fine store at 54 West 

 Twenty-eighth street is completed. 



Bussin & Hanfling have their building 

 full of baskets and useful novelties for 

 Christmas. They manufacture many 

 specialties in supply goods, sheaves, etc., 

 and will take their place with the other 

 successful supply houses of the country. 



A. J. Guttman is enthusiastic over his 

 latest carnation acquisitions. Imperial 

 and Pink Imperial. They attracted much 

 attention at the club meeting. Victory 

 maintains its splendid reputation. 



Myer, the retail florist of Madison 

 avenue, has just added a fine wagon to 

 his other acquisitions. 



Young & Nugent maintain their finely 

 decorated window. Mr. Nugent has the 

 same skill in artistic floral effect that he 

 has in managing concoctions for the 

 inner man, a skill that has been no small 

 factor in the club's progress the last 

 three years. 



Leikens wears his perpetual smile 

 these days, his branch at the Belmont 

 and his attractive store near the Wal- 

 dorf giving him ample cause for self 

 congratulation. 



Traendly & Schenck seem to think 

 three floors too little for their coming 

 holiday exhibitions. Perhaps another 

 year will make the use of the whole 

 building a necessity. 



Thomas Young's new wholesale store 

 at 42 West Twenty-eighth street is now 

 completed and most convenient. 



Bonnot Bros, are shipping more and 

 more to out-of-town sections and are 

 handling more fline roses as the days grow 

 shorter. 



The author of "How to Grow Vio- 

 lets" has left his impress on Dutchess 



county and made for himself an imper- 

 ishable monument in the glass houses de- 

 voted to the raising of the popular little 

 fragrant flower. 



John Young will have his own Beau- 

 ties from "the largest house" and the 

 entire output of the Cottage Gardens 

 carnation factory for Christmas. 



Gunther Bros, still hold the fort on 

 Twenty-ninth street, where they have 

 grown and flourished since 1888. They 

 expect a larger holiday trade than usual. 



Frank Millang manages to be on deck 

 now daily^ though still on crutches and 

 nursing his broken ankle. Inactivity is 

 so unusual with Mr. Millang he is hav- 

 ing the ordeal of his life, but he will be 

 himself again by Christmas. The Cut 

 Flower Exchange is a busy place these 

 days. 



Joseph Fenrich, with Totty's muma 

 and roses and Schultheis' valley, among 

 other good things, says business has 

 grown most encouragingly during the 

 year he has been in his new store on 

 Twenty-eighth street. 



Lecakes & Co. have a big force at 

 work and many thousands of yards of 

 roping ready for advance orders. Jno. J. 

 Foley is the same eflScient manager as 

 ever. 



The Geller Company's new store is 

 fast assuming ship-shape and is already 

 crowded with Christmas novelties. Its 

 display conveniences are excellent. 



The Kervan Company is receiving big 

 shipments of wild smilax, holly and 

 Christmas greens of all kinds from the 

 south and report a good advance in the 

 volume of their business for the year now 

 closing. 



A new store has been opened by E. A. 

 Beth at One Hundred and Thirteenth
