The Market. 

 The past week has shown a decided 

 improvement in all lines of demand, and 

 the supply has kept even with it, except- 

 ing good carnations, which are very hard 

 to get, as very few of our growers are 

 cutting any from indoor plants. Asters 

 are almost done for this season, but will 



not be misled, as ilublias coming in 



freely, and the best this market has ever 

 seen. The demand for them 

 strong and at good prices. 



Notes. 



On October 1 the Citizens Savings 



;:ud Trust Company opened its new sky- 

 scraper ami banking office on Euclid ave- 

 nue. This raus. •,! a lug demand for fine 

 (lowers and gay,, the downtown stores a 

 nice lot of work. A person visiting the 

 bank might easily have mistaken it for 

 i flower show. 



Henry P. Piggott has opened a retail 

 store at the eorner of Pearl si reel and 

 Clark avenue, where he will do a general 

 retail badness. The store is in a good 

 location and Mr. Piggott has shown good 

 : lus fixtures and the general aj 

 rangement. He will continue to run the 

 iuses at South Brooklyn as be 

 fore.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



We have had a couple of quite hard 

 frosts during the past week, but their 

 are .still plenty of dahlias, zinnias ami 

 other garden flowers. Chrysanthemums 

 olets have made their appearance, 

 E. Y. Pierre being the first to cut violets 

 and H. A. Jahn to cut 'mums. 



The Florists' Club had a special moot 

 baki and entertainment in 

 Castle Hall, Wednes.l.-u evening. Septem- 

 ber 30, and had a red-hot time. The 

 dams were just right and the "fixins" 

 were "out of sight." C. B. Knickman, 

 of the Ozone Park Nurseries, \\ 

 ent and did justice to everything. E. Y. 

 Pier, ,• came to the bake w ith two canes 

 to help him along, but when the music 

 started up rheumatism was forgotten 

 and the way he danced an Irish jig put 

 ns young fellows out of the business. 

 A. B. Hathaway also surprised us with 

 a few sieps. The Pierce brothers sang

danced. S. S. Peckham was down for a 

 violin solo, but Sam had a $500 wedding 

 ion that day and was so busy he 

 forgot his fiddle. We also had a couple 

 of colored singers that were immense. 

 The club voted in two new members, one 

 active and one honorary. It was voted

John Driscoll, head gardener at the 

 W. J. Kotch estate, died suddenly Sun- 

 day, September 27. from heart disease. 

 He leaves a widow, having been married 

 for the second time about four months 

 ago. Mr. Driscoll was a man well liked 

 among the florists. In the time of the 

 old New Bedford Florists' and Garden- 

 ers ' Club he was a very active member 

 and has taken a number of prizes for 

 specimen plants exhibited at it- shows.

The Market. 



i nrysanthemums have failed to oiak. 

 their appearance in this market, and with 

 the present high temperature it is just 

 as well that they have not. Trade holds 

 up remarkably well. Pall openings have 



not I n very profitable to the florists, 



as but few flowers have been used. 



II s a fair lot of funeral work being 



dene right along, which helps to use 

 up the large quantities of short-stemmed 



roses that art ming in. The supply of 



really good roses is very limited and 

 not many that bring over 4 cents are 

 seen. Liberty is in good demand, with 

 a very limited supply. Beauties are 

 more plentiful and ,,f very good quality. 

 A few Sunrise now and then go well. 

 There are very IV w carnations being cut 

 at present by growers about this city, 

 The market is being supplied by out-of- 

 town growers. Carnations as a whole 

 are bringing a higher price this year 

 than last, especially short-stemmed and 

 field-grown stock. Other outdoor stock 

 is virtually out of the market. 



Notes. 



J. W. Bodgers has just finished plant- 

 ing carnations. He is growing a great 

 many 'mums this year, but reports a 

 discoloration of the leaves, caused by a 

 small worm, which works in the interior 



of i he lea i causing it to turn black. It 

 does not seem to affect the growth of 

 the plant, but will undoubtedly affect 

 its value as a cut flower.
