The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Jdnb 16, 1910. 



N. Y., of tbe firm of D. McCarthy & 

 Son, were visiting New York last week. 



Walter L. Curtis, of Utica, must have 

 had a large decoration this week, judg- 

 ing by the number of boxes of green 

 goods that were shipped to him from 

 Twenty-eighth street Monday evening. 



J. J. Fellouris says he has jiist cele- 

 brated his third anniversary and that 

 last year's business was over double the 

 year before. 



Alex. McConnell had the bachelor 

 dinner decorations at Delmonico's last 

 week for Teddy Eoosevelt, Jr., a peony 

 conception of profuseness and bril- 

 liancy. Mr. McConnell is still undecid- 

 ed as to his new location, after the 

 necessary move of May 1 next to make 

 room for another skyscraper. Rentals 

 on rifth avenue have doubled in the 

 last year. Charles Thorley's old store, 

 for which he paid $10,000 a year, is now 

 $20,000. His present quarters cost $30,- 

 000 yearly. Mr. McConnell will doubt- 

 less locate not far from his present fine 

 store, which it seems a crime to destroy. 



Bowling. 



The scores at Flatbush last week 

 were: 



Piayer. 1st 2(1 3(1 



Schmutz. Hr 129 146 125

nailledouze. Paul 177 149 154 



Pallledouze. Henry 174 139 152 



A silver keyring was won in the 

 special game by Ed. Hansen. Riley's 

 high score is seldom beaten. The club 

 may send a team to Rochester. 



Astoria practices faithfully every 

 Tuesday evening. J. Austin Shaw. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — Miss Whitted 's 

 new store, at Fourth street and Nicollet 

 avenue, which she is conducting in addi- 

 tion to her store on Fifth street, is caus- 

 ing much favorable comment on account 

 of the artistic way in which the outlines 

 of the lily, as a "iioral motif," are 

 worked out in the store and its furnish- 

 ings. The lily motif is displayed in the 

 dainty fresco work of walls and ceiling. 

 The bronze hanging electroliers bear 

 lamps in lily cups of exquisite tints, and 

 in the floor the conventionalized lily is 

 carried out in mosaic.
