TEXTOne of the oldest-established and most enterprising of New York florists is Mr. Walter Eeid, whose attractive establishment is centrally and eligibly located on Broadway, between Thirty third and Thirty-fourth streets. Mr. Eeid founded his business some twenty years ago; and it is an interesting fact to record that where he first located and built his greenhouses and opened a nursery is now the site of the lofty Gilsey House. It is thus practically demonstrated how vast have been the changes within a comparatively short time in this section of the city. Mr. Reid, is a long resident of this city (here since 1848), but at an early date in his career secured many of our best families as Ms permanent customers, and has continued to fill their orders continuously to date. He deals in every class of the most beautiful and fragrant cut flowers, and has facilities and connections which enable him during every month in the year to promptly meet all demands. His recognized good taste and superior judgment are seen in the chaste and magnificent floral displays which he is commissioned to furnish for the leading social events of the season, as well as weddings, funerals, etc., while his family and counter trade in cut flowers is unexcelled in this city. He likewise does a large trade in the vicinity. He takes the productions of a number of the largest-sized greenhouses, and employs a staff of skilled assistants to meet the requirements of his numerous patrons. Educated to his calling, Mr. Reid is well qualified to attend to it with the best results to the public, and the permanent growth of his very extensive business is the most convincing proof of the appreciation of the community.
