One of the local dailies prints an 

 expose of the methods of the crape 

 chaser (of which we have some un- 

 pleasant examples) that doesn't make 

 very pretty reading, and is written in 

 a way that makes it reflect somewhat 

 on all florists. Cannot the legitimate 

 florists take some action to meet the 

 publication of such reports? 



The Priests of Pallas ball of October 

 4 created quite a demand for long- 

 stemmed stock, especially Beauties, 

 which have been very good in this 

 market for the past three weeks. The 

 prevailing style calls for large hand 

 bunches, and this order of things 

 could be kept up if the florist will 

 come right out and tell his customer 

 that such style is the proper thing. 

 If the florists of this country could 

 have witnessed our convention ball 

 and also our Priests of Pallas ball, 

 they would advocate more strongly 

 the use of large, swell hand bouquets. 

 Imagine two thousand couples, and 

 fifty per cent of the ladies carrying 

 flowers of some kind, on the floor at 

 one time! It baffles description. 



Mrs. J. M. Gasser, of Cleveland, ac- 

 companied by her sister, Mrs. R. H. 

 Crocker, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. 

 L. Rock. W.

Cut flowers are scarce owing to the 

 killing frosts of last week. E. L. 

 Charles reports a good business, 

 especially in palm decorations and 

 funeral work. 



S. F. Stephens has a fine lot of 

 chrysanthemums. 



Mr. Affleck has just completed a 

 carnation house. 



Mr. Subert. on West Broad street, 

 has leased his greenhouse to Messrs. 

 Davie & Son. 



W. B. Beattie, formerly employed 

 at the Ohio State University, as florist, 

 and later with Mr. Slonaker, a vege- 

 table grower, has left for Washington, 

 D. C. 



Mr. F. K. Luke has been appointed 

 florist at the Ohio State University. 

 His work so far ihas proven very sat- 

 isfactory and hope it will continue to 

 do so. _^ G. E. 



THE Palm swindler is again at 

 work. Look out for him.
