sudden splurge helped out considerably 

 Saturday, September 2, and nearly every 

 store force was busy. A large number 

 of small wedding decorations helped 

 out and stock w^as fairly well cleaned 

 up. Funeral work was a bit quiet dur- 

 ing the week. The middle of the week 

 was conspicuous for its heavy fains and 

 hail storms, which did much damage to 

 stock of some of the growers. The hail 

 bruised and cut the outdoor stock badly 

 and gladioli suffered considerably. Some 

 fine ones now are in the market and 

 are used extensively for funeral work 

 as well as for decorative purpo.ses. Car- 

 nations are poor and scarce. Asters for 

 the greater part are poor and only a 

 few good ones arrive. Some fine roses 

 arrive, however, and among them are 

 Stanley, Eussell, Ophelia, Ward, Sun- 

 burst, White Killarney, Killarney, 

 Francis Scott Key and My Maryland. 

 These have been in good demand and 

 hav,e cleared well. 



Valley now is scarce. Easter lilies 

 are not overplentiful, but they are of 

 good quality. Sweet peas are inferior 

 and scarce. Gaillardias, coreopsis, 

 hardy hydrangeas, larkspurs and statice 

 are used largely for baskets. Ferns 

 and palms, as well as crocks of mixed 

 plants, sold well during the week. 

 Greens are unusually plentiful, with the 

 exception of smilax. Galax and mag- 

 nolia leaves are in fairly good demand. 



Various Notes. 



Visitors last week included the rep- 

 resentative of the Knickerbocker Rib- 

 bon Co., New York; J. Enwright, of 

 Wertheimer Bros., New York; Mr. and 

 Mrs. C. L. Walker, of Belmont, N. Y., 

 who were returning from a camping 

 trip at Lake George; George Blake, of 

 Bonnet & Blake, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



Joseph Murphy recently purchased a 

 new car and is enjoying a good many 

 trips in it. 



Mrs. Clarke Vick has returned home 

 from a long vacation in the Adiron- 

 dack mountains. 



Walter Salmon now is in the employ 

 of George B. Hart. 



Bertram Elliott, of the George Crook 

 Co., is spending his vacation at Conesus 

 lake, N. Y. He says fishing there is 

 good. 



Max Pawliczek has returned from 

 Florida, N. Y., where he spent a few 

 days with his parents. 



I wish I could shake hands with you and tell you 

 personally about my good book. 



It being impossible to meet every live florist person- 

 ally, I take this means of telling you of the catalogue 

 you should have in order to sell Funeral Designs, Wed- 

 ding Flowers and Baskets of Flowers. 



Our catalogue is built on more than a score of years' 

 experience selling flowers. That experience condensed 

 into a book that will meet with the approval of the 

 Best Florists.
