docks, especially West street, are the cen- 

 ter of the enterprise. When perfect stock 

 of holly and bouquet green is wanted 

 the florist must go to the seedsmen. Sev- 

 ♦^ral of the oldest houses have cut this 

 trade out this year, finding it unprofit- 

 able. 



Cycaa leaves from Bermuda are being 

 handled by James McManus. The de- 

 mand for orchids grows daily and Mr. 

 McManus says he can dispose profitably 

 «f as many as arrive and still have call 

 tor more. 



Charles Millang will celebrate . at 

 <>hnstmas his silver jubilee, having then 

 i-ompleted twenty-five years of trade ex- 

 perience. 



The engagement of Herman Berkowitz, 

 the artist of the retail flower store of 

 Young & Nugent, and Miss Beatrice 

 Wagner is announced. 



At the new store of the Flower Shop, 

 on West Forty-second street, near the 

 Knickerbocker hotel, Mr. Neflf, the pro- 

 prietor, has had many years' practical ex- 

 perience m both greenhouse and dec- 

 orative management. Around the corner 



on Broadway the store of Mrs. J. W. 

 Scallen has been divided and half the 

 space of the old store is utilized. 



The Kervan Co. is kept busy by the 

 call for evergreen roping. 



The ribbon houses say that all the 

 Christmas plant arrangements will carry 

 ribbons this year, if the volume of 

 their sales is any indication. They are 

 rushed. 



Bowling. 



The Astoria Club's scores last week 

 show steady improvement. The latest 

 project is a grand tournament at these 

 alleys, instead of at New York, on the 

 evening of Tuesday, December 21, to 

 which Flatbush, Madison and the New 

 York Florists ' Club will be invited. The 

 entire alleys will be at the disposal of the 

 club and forty bowlers can be accom- 

 modated. Entries may be made with 

 Phil Kessler, Captain Berry or with 

 President Siebrecht, of the Astorias. 

 Three fine turkeys will reward the win- 

 ners. The scores last week were as fol- 

 lows:

Northampton, Mass. — Alexander 

 Parks has planted the flower beds in the 

 public gardens with tulips for next 

 spring's growth. 



WoRCESTEE, Mass. — It is reported that 

 the city water commissioner has refused 

 to supply water to the Worcester Con- 

 servatories at manufacturers' rates, on 

 account of the ruling made by the law 

 department that growing flowers and 

 shrubs is not a manufacture. The manu- 

 facturers' rate is 10 cents per 1,000 gal- 

 lons, while others pay 20 cents per 1,0001
