The Market. 



The arrival of a few cosmos and 

 dahlias is a harbinger of fall and hints 

 that the chrysanthemum season is not 

 far off. For several weeks the stand- 

 bys have been gladioli, asters, hydran- 

 geas and some roses. Asters have been 

 a trifle scarce and the quality of the 

 stock is none too good, but it is im- 

 proving. There is no dearth of gladi- 

 oli and their quality is good. Business 

 is expected to improve a little after 

 Labor day, but the florists do not an- 

 ticipate really good business for a 

 month yet. Growers in this vicinity 

 have a fine lot of mum plants, from 

 which they expect to realize good 

 returns. 



Various Notes. 



"W. H. Witheridge reports business 

 quiet now. There is not the usual vol- 

 ume of funeral work. 



George Penek last week had a good 

 window display, representing country 

 and seashore. 



R. F. Jolley, of Irvington, has com- 

 pleted the erection of a greenhouse. 



August Begerow has a fine lot of 

 chrysanthemum plants at his range at 

 16 Girard place. Mr. McKnight, the 

 grower, says that carnation plants are 

 small for this season of the year, but 

 tliat the plants are healthy and vigor- 

 ous and doubtless will develop properly 

 later. R. B, M. 



Benton Harbor, Mich.— What with 

 40,000 dahlias to take care of, E. S. 

 Thompson is a busy man in these parts. 

 The dahlias are doing finely and are 

 bound to give a good account of them- 

 selves during the next two months.
