ready for occupancy, and the whole place 

 in keeping with its surroundings. 



William Elliott & Sons are in^posses- 

 sion of their first consignment of nurs- 

 ery stock from Holland, which they are 

 offering at Tuesday and Friday auction 

 sales. 



Mr. Julias, the florist, immortalized 

 himself by presenting an eight-foot floral 

 horseshoe to Candidate Hearst at the big 

 Madison Square meeting Sunday evening, 

 when 40,000 tried to crowd into a space 

 where only 15,000 can find standing 

 room. 



Saturday, October 30, the House of 

 Flowers opened at the corner of Forty- 

 fifth street and Fifth avenue. It comes 

 fully up to expectations. There is noth- 

 ing just like it in the country. If Thor- 

 ley should concentrate all his retail en- 

 terprises here, it would not surprise the 

 trade. The store is almost opposite the 

 headquarters of Alex. McConnell in the 

 Arcade. 



The Charles Zeller & Son place, in 

 Flatbush, will pass next year into the 

 hands of that ever youthful Parisian, 

 l-'Ouis Schmutz. A few months ago the 



property sold for $25,000; today you 

 cannot buy it for $35,000. That is the 

 way florists make money down here. 

 The new subways and the enormous in- 

 crease in population are at the bottom of 

 the rise. 



Close to Zeller 's is Charles Koch's fine 

 home and valuable real estate, formerly 

 the property of Kretschmar Bros. A 

 part of the land sold by Mr. Koch a 

 short time ago has doubled in value, and 

 he is out thousands by not waiting "just 

 a little longer." But he has a nice 

 slice left aij^d is on Easy street. 



Carl Wilk has rented his place to Carl 

 Woerner, who grows a nice assortment 

 of plants and cut flowers and is doing 

 well. The Old Arnold greenhouses, next 

 door, are gone, and it would have been a 

 blessing to one of the old-time florists 

 if they had been destroyed fifteen years 

 ago. 



The big plant of Louis Schmutz, on 

 Clarkson street, is fast resolving itself 

 into lots worth $2,000 apiece. The city 

 is putting a new street right through the 

 center of the houses, and must pay dear- 

 ly for them. The veteran need not care 



whether school keeps any longer or not. 

 He is living on the wide tho^ughfare of 

 developing prosperity. 



Charles A. Dards, at Madison avenue 

 and Forty-fourth street, with a branch 

 store on Seventy-second street, in the 

 aristocratic section of the city, has been 

 extremely busy this week with wedding 

 decorations. Monday two weddings and 

 three large funerals used up an immense 

 amount of valley and over 400 cattleyas. 



The Kosary, on Thirty-fourth street, 

 displays some grand retinospora in tubs 

 from the nurseries at New Rochelle. Mr. 

 Troy is dipping into politics and running 

 for alderman in the third ward, at New 

 Rochelle, on the Republican ticket. 



Harmony has again descended on the 

 wholesale district. The day of boycotts 

 is past. J. Austin Shaw. 



Boston, Mass.— J. J. McCormack has 

 opened a new store at 31 Pleasant street. 



Greenwich, Conn. — McMillen & Co. 

 have moved from Arch street to their 

 new quarters in the Carroll & Willard 

 building.
