| TEXT | The occupation of a florist has of late years been followed as a profession, and the growing desire to ornament gardens and lawns and to grow flowers for decorations makes the calling a most important one. Not even in winter does the shrine of Flora lack its gifts, for in the conservatories and greenhouses a constant supply of the most beautiful exotics is always available. New York has acquired a natural reputation as the centre of the flower and seed trade, and a prominent house engaged in this business is that of Messrs. Long & Houghton, No. 721 Sixth Avenue, which was established in 1872 by the present proprietors. In 1882, in consequence of an increased volume of trade, they removed to their present eligible and commodious premises. The firm supplies a large demand for all kinds of flowers, including the rarest and most splendid varieties of foreign and native flowering plants and shrubs, and exrels in superb floral decorations. They also furnish bouquets, wreaths and various emblematic designs for weddings, balls, parties and also funerals, in new and original conceptions of artistic forms. Ferneries, brackets and hanging baskets are always on hand, and everything connected with this business is carefully and efficiently attended to. The individual members of this copartnership are Messrs. W. H. Long and T. H. Houghton, both natives of New York, and who are highly esteemed bv the community as honorable business men and upright private citizens. This house is fully prepared with all necessary facilities and resources to execute all commissions or orders not only promptly, but with that intelligent apprehension of design that makes tt« efforts so highly appreciated by patrons. |
