sentence, 3for some unknown reason Aloy- 

 sius Gross, the slayer of John Scott, re- 

 ceived only from four to seven years 

 imprisonment, a punishment that in no 

 sense befits the crime. 



J. F. Sullivan, of Detroit, was in the 

 city last week, visiting the growers and 

 retailers and gathering inspiration for 

 his decorative work. He thinks Detroit 

 has some retail stores that cannot be ex- 

 celled in window decoration, but modestly 

 fails to mention them. 



Mr. Brown opened his beautiful new 

 store in the Bellnord, on upper Broad- 

 way, this week. The fittings and location 

 are both ideal, the show window as large 

 as an ordinary store, and Mr. Brown is 

 confident of the outcome. 



A. Meyer has made the old Hoffmeir 

 store into one of the prettiest on the 

 street, the electric lighting effects being 

 especially novel and brilliant. He calls 

 his venture the Smart Set Co., and we 

 shall now see what's in a name. He says 

 he is doing well. 



David Clarke 's Sons were never better 

 prepared for the fall trade and never 

 more optimistic. They are making a spe- 

 cialty of the Scholzeli fern and consider 

 it a splendid acquisition. . This firm will 

 soon celebrate its sixtieth anniversary. 



Mrs. Warendorff, in the Ansonia, is at 

 74 years of age as active as when the 

 modest store on Fourteenth street a dec- 

 ade ago was her only possession. Five 

 sons are associated with her in the busi- 

 ness. 



Alex. McConnell, since his return from 

 Europe, has been busy with his nursery 

 plantings at New Eochelle. His trip was 

 a most enjoyable one, among old friends 

 and relatives in Wales, Scotland, etc., in 



behalf of his business interests in France 

 and Germany. Mr. McConnell says the 

 fall business in the nursery department 

 has been extensive and the Arcade store 

 has been busy with weddings and funerals 

 since his return. 



The House of Flowers opens this week 

 at the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty- 

 sixth street. The upper stories are for 

 general offices. The roof and cornices 

 are fitted up with boxes which are filled 

 with evergreens, and the sidewalks are 

 cut so as to allow plantings around the 

 four huge windows on the ground floor. 

 The effect is artistic. The flower store 

 itself is large and the ceilings high. 



The Japanese lily department of Balph 

 M. "Ward & Co. is working at high ten- 

 sion. 



Ambrose Cleary has sold great quanti- 

 ties of boxwood, privet and bulbs at 

 auction. 



Arthur Merritt is now one of the force 

 of M. A. Bowe. Business has been boom- 

 ing here of late. 



The Flower Shop is the name of an- 

 other venture in the retail line at 136 

 West Forty-second street. 



Mr. Hart, an old-time wholesale florist, 

 is now with Charles Millang. 



Mr. Hood, one of the older generation 

 of florists, died last week at his resi- 

 dence. Ninth avenue and Forty-second 

 street, of a complication of diseases. 

 Mrs. Hood, the widow, will continue the 

 business at the same location. 



Nic Schreiner is now in the employ of 

 MiUang Bros., of 41 West Twenty-eighth 

 street. 



At Hession's, in Flatbush, the entire 

 plant, including the new house, 58x250, 

 is devoted to carnations. Beacon, Harry I 



Fenn, Patten, Victory and Enchantress 

 are the varieties. Ford Bros, handle the 

 entire output, except those used by Mr. 

 Hession in his retail store on Lexington 

 avenue, in New York. 



Eugene Dailledouze returned October 

 22 from his two months' western holi- 

 day, having visited Seattle, Portland, San 

 Francisco, Los Angeles, Yellowstone Park, 

 Arizona, coming home via Kansas City 

 and Chicago. He was accompanied by 

 Mrs. Dailledouze. He is cutting fine 

 mums. A good many Baby mums will be 

 ready for Thanksgiving. There are a 

 dozen varieties of pompons, including the 

 favorite, Zenobia. Two houses are «le- 

 voted to mignonette. In carnatims, 

 Queen, Beacon, Victory, Winona and l"n- 

 chantress in all its varieties are here sien 

 in perfect condition, with the twin broth- 

 ers as practical spectators and Taplin ::iid 

 Eiley as lieutenants. 



Close to the Dailledouze place is ihe 

 modern plant of A. Demeusy, where oir- 

 nations occupy all the space, except ■ '& 

 house devoted to the popular varietie- ^f 

 chrysanthemums. Mr. Demeusy 's son is 

 foreman. Enchantress, Patten and ^ '<?• 



tory are the varieties grown. 



he 

 Greater New York Florists' Associat n, 

 in Brooklyn, handles the stock. The i ^ 

 houses erected this year were built 'jy 

 W. H. Lutton, of Jersey City. 



Because Tuesday, November 2, is elec- 

 tion day, William Elliott & Sons h;;ve 

 postponed their next sale to Wednesfl '.Tt 

 November 3. The offering then will •■in-

Sydney Wertheimer states that tlu re

 Bros, intend to embark in the general 

 florists' supply business. He says a re-
