The flower business 

 NEW YORK feels tlie effect of 

 the Thanksgiving hol- 

 iday and the marltet is buoyant and 

 active. Chrysanthemums go at a 

 lively clip and after this week will 

 count for but little in quantity or 

 effect on flower market values. 

 Colored flowers have the call, red 

 roses and carnations leading at stiff 

 prices as compared with those of a 

 week ago. Violets, also, are doing 

 well but quantity is less than usual 

 at this date. Orchids decidedly 

 scarce and prices well up. Narcissi 

 and Roman hyacinths, stevia and 

 other December specialties are al- 

 ready in evidence. Good trade is gen- 

 erally expected for the coming week. 

 The fall season 

 PHILADELPHIA may now be con-* 

 sidered as having 

 reached its full development and can 

 intelligently be compared with pre- 

 vious years. While there have been 

 many disappointments and smashing of 

 many fond hopes, the general consen- 

 sus of opinion seems to be that the 

 fall of 1910, will average as good 

 as any in recent seasons. At one 

 time it was considered that the 

 chrysanthemum crop would average 

 away below last year's general returns 

 but a change for the better took place 

 in the latter part of the season and 

 it is now apparent that the average 

 will wind up fully equal to last year's 

 record. This is gratifying and should 

 encourage the growers and others to 

 proceed along the same conservative 

 lines as experience has proved to be 

 profitable. Consultation with the com- 

 mission men as to what crops to 

 grow and how much of each for 

 the coming season sliould always 

 precede planting. Frequent visits 

 should be made to the metropolitan 

 markets and close touch kept on pop- 

 ular demand and tendencies. And 

 while doing this the grower should be 

 frequently in town to see in what 

 condition his stuff arrives and com- 

 pare the quality of his various grades 

 with the same grades of other ship- 

 pers. This program on the part of 

 the growers would be educative and 

 prevent many heartburnings when the 

 returns come home. Prices hardened 

 last week— especially in carnations 

 and violets. In the latter values 

 almost doubled. Roses and chrysan- 

 themums kept firm and sold out clean. 

 Orchids still scarce. At this writing 

 (Monday) it looks as if all flowers 

 will bring good prices Thanksgiving 

 week.

OBITUARY, 



hibitors and visitors, with all of whom 

 he was a great favorite. 



Anthony Riley, 



Anthony Riley, familiarly known to 

 a generation of frequenters of Horti- 

 cultural Hall, Boston, as "Andy," died 

 on Friday, Nov. 11, aged 76 years. 

 From about 1874 until three or four 

 years ago "Andy" was employed as 

 flreijian and general utility attendant 



Anthony Riley 



about Horticultural Hall. He was 

 born in slavery on the estate of Gen. 

 Robert E. Lee in Virginia. One dark 

 night in 1862, when in camp with Lee 

 as a servant, he confiscated one of the 

 general's best horses and struck out 

 for the Union army, which he reached 

 in safety and afterwards came North. 

 "Andy" was a typical Southern darkey, 

 full of tun, civil and obliging and al- 

 ways ready to render a service to ex- 



Rudolph Jans. 



Rudolph Jans, known as the pro- 

 prietor of the Butler Floral Co.. died 

 at his home, 46.59 Sheridan Road, Chi- 

 cago, on November 18th. He retired 

 from the flower business several 

 months ago on account of ill health. 

 He leaves a wife, who was associated 

 with him in the business.
