Xhanksgiviiij; ilay has come and gone 

 and it is rallu-r ililHcult to say whether 

 trade lias been liilter than last year or 

 not. Some of llie storemen report an 

 increase over last year, while others re- 

 port a slight decrease; but on the whole 

 there seems to be little complaining. 

 On the flower innrkct at 'romlinson Hall 

 trade was radni -''i\\ :in'l most of those 

 who have stand- ilin, w.i.' complaining. 



The growers sinri in Ium' fared better. 

 There was a fair supjily of large mums 

 which were eagerly bouglit up by the 

 storemen early in the week and by 

 Wednesday night there were not many 

 good large blooms to be had. 



Eoses were in fair supply and went 

 well. Carnations were decidedly scarce 

 in the best grades, especially in colors. 



The weatlier is some colder now and 

 trade ought to keep up pretty well. Roses 

 and carnations are improving in quality 

 and increasing in quantity and with the 

 mums out of the way prices will likely 

 advance. However, there are still a lot 

 of poor mums around and they will con- 

 tinue to be a drag for a week or so.

IRIS PAINTED BEAUTY. 



In the Shepparton (Australia) News 

 of Oct. 26 appears the following cnm- 

 munication from Mr. Peter Barr: 



"TIk.s,. vlin \i,itcd the Tatura sliow

 flowers staged by Miss Love, of Tatura, 

 and was during the day the cynosure 

 of the exhibits. Its beauty was of a 

 very exceptional, marked and distinct 

 character, and was the general topic of 

 conversation. An expert gave it as his 

 opinion that no iris of so much refined
