Beed & Keller made the pompadour 

 bouquet holder, first used by Alex Mc- 

 Gonnell at the Gould debut. Mr. Reed 

 says the outside demand for it is great. 

 It is made of silk on a circular wire 

 frame, with trimmings of 5 inch Val- 

 enciennes lace.

 ciation, it is said, now has fifty-two 

 members. Lenox hall has been secured 

 as a permanent meeting place. A com- 

 mittee consisting of Jos. Leikens, J. J. 

 Foley and M. A. Bowe has been ap- 

 pointed to wait on the Board of Alder-

Not a few subscribers save themselves 

 the bother of annual renewal by sending 

 the Review $2, $3, or occasionally $5, in- 

 stead of the dollar bill that insures fifty- 

 two visits of the paper. 



CLINTON, lA. 



With the scarcity of store rooms in 

 Clinton, Andrew Bather congratulates 

 himself upon being able to secure the 

 whole store room at 235 Fifth avenue. 

 Up-to-date show cases have been put in, 

 with a complete stock of decorative nov- 

 elties and accessories, together with a 

 large line of jardinieres, etc., making the 

 store one of the most attractive in the 

 city. Better facilities are thus afforded 

 for handling the trade. Both phones 

 are in the new store. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Stock is coming about the same as last 

 week. Business continues good, from 

 general reports. 



Variota Notct. 



Some good decoration orders are book- 

 ed for the coming week. The Gude Bros. 

 Co. have been awarded the contract for 



the floral decorations for the court of 

 lionor for the presidential inauguration. 

 This will be the finest of its kind ever 

 seen in the capital city. The total cost 

 will be $15,000. Mr. Gude was over 

 in Philadelphia this week looking up sup- 

 plies for this decoration. 



At the regular monthly meeting of 

 the Florists' Club, candidates for the 

 various oflRces were nominated, to be 

 elected at the March meeting. An invita- 

 tion was received to attend the tri-city 

 contest between the Philadelphia, Balti- 

 more and Washington bowling teams, in 

 Baltimore, March 11. 



At this writing we are having the 

 heaviest snow storm of the season. 



Mr. Green, representing Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., was in town this week. O. O.

Denison, Tex. — The greenhouse of J. 

 D. Ourand, at 105 West Sears street, was
