Edward Eeid ha.s returned from

The Beauty growers who brought in 

 crops during the past summer obtained 

 very satisfactory prices. Clias. W. Cox, 

 2nd and Bristol streets, is more than 

 satisfied with the results of his early 

 planted house. 



A local grower bought 2,500 asters, 

 described as Semple's, from an out-of- 

 town firm. The asters were given good 

 care but produced small flowers, evi- 

 dently of an inferior strain. Inquiry 

 has produced no response from the sell- 

 er. To us this appears an imposition 

 and should not be tolerated for a mo- 

 ment. 



M. Rice & Co. have a very interesting 

 collection of vases of iridescent glass in 

 curious shapes and with more curious 

 designs upon them. These are intended 



for table decoration. They are beautiful 

 and quite a novelty in a florist's supply 

 house. This firm reports an encourag- 

 ing demand for improved crepe paper, 

 which is most, eff'ective for plant dec- 

 oration. 



Joseph Heacock's place at Wyncote 

 will be the Mecca for Beauty growers 

 this fall, his plants being e.Mceptionally 

 well done. PniL.

Frost and Other Things. 



We are more fortunate than many lo- 

 calities near us, for we have escaped 

 fin-st. Flowers are in abundance. Roses 

 and (filiations from under glass are 

 (.iniin;; in. i:thel Crocker, whatever its 

 fanlls. is worth growing for a fall crop, 

 for at this time of year there is no va- 

 riety of its color that will give you the 

 sige of flower and length of stem. In 

 localities where no serious frost appears 

 before November 1 a whole lot of money 

 could be picked off them. 



Fort Erie races closed on Thursday 

 last after a steady run of three months. 

 This is not a floricultural item, only sev- 

 eral Main street florists will now be 

 seen more steadily behind their counters. 



During carnival week at the Pan- 

 American there is to be a flower parade, 

 when several hundred automobiles and 

 more antiquated vehicles will be in line. 

 Look out, brother florist, the demand for 

 flowers must be great. It occurs Thurs- 

 day, October 3. 



Tuesday, the 1st, there will be a baby 

 show. I hear that W. A. Adams, J. H. 

 Rebstock, S. A. Anderson, Alex. Scott 

 of Corfu and W. Belsey have entered 

 their latest product. Size will score 50 

 points, beauty 49, and parentage 1 point. 

 So any old father will do.
