The condition of the 

 NEW YORK flower market this 



week is very good, 

 owing largely to the Jewish holidays, 

 which call for the use of large quanti- 

 ties of material. Prices have held up 

 well for the first half of the week, but 

 are expected to take a tumble during 

 the latter half. Chrysanthemums are 

 becoming more abundant and sell for 

 a wide variety of prices according to 

 color and quality. Roses have been 

 doing satisfactorily, particularly Beau- 

 ties. Cattleyas coming in freely. Lil- 

 ies have increased in quantity, but 

 bring fair average returns. 



The cooler wea- 

 PHILADELPHIA ther at the end of 



last week had a 

 good effect on the general tone of the 

 market, which continued to show grad- 

 ual improvement. This section has 

 not suffered so much from drought as 

 the rest of the country apparently, as 

 we had lots of rain in August and 

 quite some in September — in marked 

 contrast to tht> reports from other sec- 

 tions. Dahlias are still very much 

 in evidence and will continue so until 

 frost; unless dry weather knocks them 

 out. Chrysanthemums are coming 

 along more freely — Opal. Polly Rose, 

 and October Frost among the whites — 

 Monteniort among the pinks, and Pa- 

 cific almost ready. Golden Glow is over 

 and there is no other good yellow at 

 hand for the minute. A remarkable fea- 

 ture of last week's market was the 

 shortness of American Beauty roses and 

 lily of the valley. No one seems to have 

 a sood crop of Beauty just now, and 

 there appears to be an extra demand 

 for lily of the valley. The latter is 

 reported plentiful enough in other sec- 

 tions — so that there is no likelihood of 

 any advance in prices. There is quite 

 a marked improvement in pink Killar- 

 ney roses — and Maryland is also good. 

 Among the v.'hite roses the situation 

 has distinctly improved. Kaiserin is 

 on the short side, and Bride and White 

 Killarney are both selling well. Car- 

 nations are on the upward grade and 

 prices advance with the quality. Or- 

 chids are plentiful, with prices in 

 Duyers' favor. 



Aurora, ill. — Work has been begun 

 on the new city greenhouse at Phillips 

 Park, which has been previously re- 

 ported. It is expected that it will cost 

 about $1,500. John C. Moninger Co. 

 material is used.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



An old familiar face appeared again 

 in wholesale centers last week. Ralph 

 Shrigley is now with Edward Reid, the 

 Ranstead street wholesaler. 



Mrs. James McKay, wife of the old- 

 time Kensington florist, James McKay, 

 on North 2nd street, has just returned 

 from a trip to the old country. Fine 

 time. Thank you. 



Five carloads of decorating materi- 

 als were sent over to New York for the 

 Gimbel opening by the Habermehls. 

 Wm. Graham had charge of the oper- 

 ation. It is reported here that the 

 sales of the big store the first day were 

 over $250,000. That's going some! 



W. E. McKissick, senior partner of 

 the late firm of wholesale florists trad- 

 ing under the name of W. E. McKis- 

 sick & Bros., which as announced re- 

 cently in HORTICULTURE, was dis- 

 continued by mutual consent Sept. 8th, 

 has joined forces with the Pennock- 

 Meehan Company and will have charge 

 of the Washington end of their busi- 

 ness. Mr. McKissick has been in the 

 commission cut flower field for some 

 15 or 20 years, and is an able, energetic 

 and genial business man. He has a 

 most charming personality, and we 

 feel sure will make things hum in his 

 new field of endeavor.

A NOTABLE SALE. 



The sale of the James Weirs Sons 

 property at Brooklyn, N. Y., which is 

 announced to take place on October 

 19th, as per advertisement of Wm. 

 Elliott & Sons in this paper, will un- 

 doubtedly bring together a large and 

 interested throng of trade buyers. No 

 florist concern is better known than 

 this old and highly respected firm and 

 their decision to close out their busi- 

 ness will come as a surprise to many.

 Co. is preparing to establish a seed
