The Market. 



Business tills week has been fair, 

 and improving right along. Chrysan- 

 themums have been in market for the 

 last six weeks and many fine blooms 

 can be seen at the stores. Some fine 

 Viviand-Morels are in this week. 

 Outside grown violets are in market, 

 but the quality of the fiowers is poor 

 and will not improve till the weather 

 cools off a little. Carnations are good 

 as to quality and prices remain firm. 

 Roses are not quite up to the stand- 

 ard and have not been for some 

 months past, but choice stock is e.x- 

 pected almost any day from the es- 

 tablishments of McLellan, Gilmore. 

 Nicholson, and Simmons. 



Liberty is well thought of among 

 the growers and retailers; the color, 

 stem and foliage puts it away ahead 

 of Meteor as a red rose. 



Prices: American Beauties, $1 to 

 $2; Brides, Bridesmaids and Meteors, 

 25 to 75 cents; Liberty, 50 cents to 

 $1; Kaiserins, 35 to 50 cents; Cecil 

 Brunner, 15 cents per dozen. Carna- 

 tions: Hobarts. $1; Crocker, 35 to 50 

 cents; mixed fancys, 35 to 50 cents- 

 Hill, 20 to 30 cents; Bradt, 25 to 35 

 cents; Scott, 15 to 20 cents; Portia 

 10 to 121/2 cents per dozen. Chrys- 

 anthemums: Inside, 75 cents to $3' 

 outside. 20 cents to $1 per dozen. 

 Tuberoses, 75 cents per dozen. Vio- 

 lets: Princess of Wales. $1 to $150- 

 Mane Louise, $1. Smilax, 10 cents 

 per string. 



Various Items. 



Simmons, of Fruitvale, was visited 

 last week by the writer. His roses 

 are m grand condition and the growth 

 on his Beauties show every indica- 

 tion that Mr. Simmons will cut some 

 of the finest Beauties coming into 

 market this winter. 



Shannahan, on Powell street has 

 made a few alterations at his store 

 A new plate-glass window, of larger 

 size than before, showing off his flow- 

 ers to better advantage, also the en- 

 trance to the store is covered with 

 Tennessee marble. Altogether the 

 improvements are first-class and give 

 the place a very swell appearance. 



We regret to have to announce the 

 death of Mr. Carroll Kruger on Sept. 

 ^», tor many years in the employ and 

 lately in partnership with J. H. Siev- 

 ers, of San Francisco. What may 

 have been an accident, but to all ap- 

 pearances was a deliberate suicide,

 PITTSBURG, PA 



SEVERAL very large Fhipments of JAP AIT IiONGIFI«OBUM bave arrived in very bad con- 

 dition—more than hall the bulbs having been lost by heating. This large loss will make a 

 scarcity in this article and probably msny dealers will be unable to fill their orders in full. 

 If vou do not succeed in getting vour full supplies, we have still to otter a fine lot of 



BERMLDAGROWN LONGIFLORIM 



These bulbs are in splendid shape. We can supply them at 814.00 per case; 350 bulbs to the

LILIUM HARRISII. 



7-9 inch si/e is generally scarce, but we have a very fine stock of this size still on hand— a lot of 

 bulbs that were left in the ground and dug late, and in consequence they are in grand shape. Bulbs 

 are plump, bright and clean, and as fine a lot of Harrisii as anyone would want to handle. We can 

 supply these, as long as unsold, as follows ;— 



5-7's, 40U bulbs to the case, onlv $ltt.00 per case; 7-9's. 200 bulbs to the case, only $18.00 per case.

occurred in the glass-covered rotund.t 

 of the city hall. It seems that Mr. 

 Kruger jumped, or fell, from the sec- 

 ond balcony of the city hall, the body 

 falling on the tiled floor. Mr. Kruger 

 was taken to the receiving hospital, 

 but never regained consciousness, and 

 died in a few hours. 



Mr Kruger was well known in San 

 Francisco, and up to a month ago 

 was engaged in the growing estab- 

 lishment of John H. Sievers, on Van 

 Ness avenue. Since the dissolution 

 of their partnership Mr, Kruger has 

 made several attempts to again en- 

 gage in the business, but without suc- 

 cess; as a consequence he became de- 

 spondent. Mr. Kruger was a native 

 of Chile, and leaves a wife and four 

 children. 



As a plantsman he was a clever 

 man. and few men will be found his 

 equal in growing and hybridizing. 

 His Hannah Hobart and E. Crocker 

 carnations speak for themselves, and 

 his tuberous begonias and pelargoni- 

 ums were perfection and will remain 

 long as a monument to the memory of 

 this clever man. J. N. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The weather has been very warm 

 for the past week and cut flowers are 

 scarce, owing to the great demand for 

 funerals, weddings, etc. 



F. K. Luke, of the O. S. University, 

 visited in Dayton last week. 



E. H. Charles has received a large 

 shipment of bulbs from Holland. 



The Livingston Seed Co. have a 

 new cut flower delivery wagon. 



Mr. R. G. Ray has been appointed 

 superintendent and florist of the City 

 Park. Of the nine men who took the 

 examination, only three passed. Mr. 

 Ray is a graduate of the Miami Uni- 

 versity, and came here from Cincin- 

 nati seven years ago. 



Messrs. Baldwin and Miller, of New- 

 ark, O.. were recent visitors.

THEY LIKE THE REVIEW. 



I consider the Review the very best for 

 \<\^ and small growers, for the trade in gen- 

 •■ral, for selling and. buying, for interchang- 

 ing of opinions regarding business, and a 

 very cheap medium for advertising surplus 

 stock in vour classified list.
