Various Items. 



August was a month of gi'eat dryness 

 in this section, but since there has been 

 a great precipitation, the total rainfall 

 for Septeml>er reaching nearly seven 

 inches. Since October came in we have 

 also had heavy rains and the water 

 courses are full to their brims. There 

 have been no general frosts, and outdoor 

 vegetation continues fresh and green. 



The trade in cut flowers is good. Car- 

 nations are coming in and are earlier 

 and better flowers than ordinarily. A 

 few violets, not of the highest grade, 

 are coming to market. Roses are im- 

 proving in quality and increasing in 

 supply, while outside stuff, dahlias and 

 cosmos excepted, are declining in quan- 

 tity. 



A good many fail weddings are taking 

 place: the eustomaiy demand for funeral 

 piir]>oscs never fails; social observances 

 begin to influence the demand and a very 

 fair all-round business is apparent. 



The fuel question is uppermost in the 

 minils of most of the members of the 

 trade. The coal supply is utterly demor- 

 alized and few of our growers have their 

 stock in. A number have purchased 

 coal oil burners, of which several vari- 

 eties are V>eing pushed on this market, 

 but their etliciency as applied to heating 

 greenhouses remains to be demonstratefl. 

 Several growers have changed their boil- 

 ers when those in use were not adapted 

 to soft coal, but this last material is 

 almost as difficult to secure in ample 

 quantities as anthracite. R. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



At the meeting of the State Florists' 

 Assfx-iation, which was held on the 5th, 

 it was decided to hold a free flower show. 

 John Hartje, A. F. J. Baur and I. Berter- 

 man were appointed to arrange for the 

 show. There will be no competition and 

 no premiums, but the society always 

 stands ready to pass upon and certificate 

 anything new of real merit, and those 

 have seedling mums or carnations 

 will find it profitable to send some blooms 

 to this show, which will be held on No- 

 vember 5. Address all packages to J. 

 Hartje, Horticultural rooms. State 

 House, Indianapolis, Ind., unless you in- 

 tend to come yourself to set up your ex- 

 hibit. All exhibits sent in care of the 

 committee will be well taken care of 



and staged to the best advantage. At the 

 last meeting Baur & Smith showed a 

 vase full of their several fine seedlings 

 which will no doubt be seen at some of 

 the shows this winter. 



Business has been very good of late 

 and fair .stock is finding ready sale at 

 good figures, although we do not hear of 

 many carnations being sold at 6 cents; 

 2 to 3 cents is the ruling figure around 

 here. The quality is getting better all 

 around. Mums are coming in in quan- 

 tity now and find ready sale. Tlie fall 

 festival and horse show are calling for 

 many flowers and this is proving a busy 

 week for the florists. A. B. 



KANSAS CITY. MO. 



Uncle .John Tliorpe and his assistant, 

 Jlr. Lindsey, have arrived to remain un- 

 til after the flower show, and they will 

 devote their attention between now and 

 the opening to completing the final de- 

 tails. 



The press of Kansas City should come 

 in for some credit, for the newspapers 

 are giving elaborate accounts of what 

 may be expected. It is in keeping wnth 

 the Kansas City spirit that nothing but 

 the best will do for Kansas City, and 

 they are "boosting" the flower show. 



The most of us growers were given a 

 very bad half-hour Sunday morning in 

 the shape of a hail storm, and while lit- 

 tle damage was done a few extra gray 

 hairs crept in while it lasted. 



The first mums are making their ap- 

 pearance in quantity, and fair quality, 

 but are not moving with desirable rapid- 

 ity, and prices dropped very quickly from 

 $3 to $1 per dozen. 



Miss .7. E. ISlurrav has moved her store 

 back to the Midland Hotel. 



J. H. Veset. 



GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. 



All have their carnations housed ex- 

 cept the Grand Rapids Floral Co., which 

 has not quite completed the rebuilding 

 of a portion of its establishment. 



Mulick Bros, are just getting through 

 planting carnations. 



Henry Smith says that a month's work 

 with painters and decorators has put 

 his store in first-class condition for 

 business. 



Mums are appearing in the store win- 

 dows. In a few days they will be very 

 plentiful. The principal variety is Kalb, 

 the earliest and best white. 



Carnations are scarce, although more 

 plentiful than for the past two months, 

 in which a perfect famine existed. In 

 fact, an outside florist, on being told 

 that his order could not be filled, replied: 

 "It looks like the flower market is as- 

 bad as the coal market." 



Ptoses are scarce and then plentiful 

 by streaks. Local demand is good and 

 shipping brisk. 



Violets are blooming, and the flowers 

 at this writing are of better quality 

 than at this time last year. 



Rose^ are $1 per dozen; American 

 Beauties, $1.50 for shorts to $3 per dozen 

 for longs. Carnations have already gone 

 up 5 cents per dozen on common and 25 

 cents on fancy stock. Lilies are $2 per 

 dozen: violets. 20 cents per dozen.

 tee, Mich., and E. Ford, representing Sie- 

 brecht &. Son, New Rochelle, N. Y.
