ing with the demand one -would natu- 

 rally expect. 



Carnations are all the way back in 

 the market as far as demand is con- 

 cerned, but when you come to the mat- 

 ter of supply, it is quite another thing. 

 Quality is all that can be expected, and 

 the stems, though still short, are 

 stronger and longer than they were. No 

 one ever expects valley to be anything 

 else than scarce these days, but a few 

 houses seem to have adequate supplies 

 and cattleyas are regarded in much the 

 same light. Quite a few asters persist 

 in coming to the mark«t and a fair sup- 

 ply of gladioli may be found. Neither 

 cut much of a figure, though the for- 

 mer continue to enjoy a fair demand 

 and to command a good price. The de- 

 mand for chrysanthemums is at last 

 alive, but the supply is woefully short. 

 Of those being received, there are more 

 poor ones than good ones. Easter 

 lilies are enjoying a good demand and 

 share the general attribute of scarce- 

 ness. A few locally-grown single vio- 

 lets have been seen on the market, but 

 as yet shipments have been so irregular 

 that it is impossible to say what their 

 fate will be. 



Green goods are in normal supply and 

 demand with the exception of smilax. 



Pollworth Joins Jones. 



J. E. Pollworth, who is well known in 

 tliis market, especially among the grow- 

 ors, states that October 1 he will be- 

 fome identified with Percy Jones, Inc., 

 in the capacity of vice-president and 

 general manager. Henry Van Gelder 

 will continue as president of the corpo- 

 ration, the addition of Mr. Pollworth 

 to the official staff enabling him to give 

 time to his outside interests, which have 

 been growing of late. During the last 

 few months Mr. Pollworth has been 

 with Armour & Co., in the fertilizer de- 



FLOWERS FOR FALL 

 (Kennicott's Quality Cuts) 



We offer flowers that stand inspection, but do not need it. 



Our Mums, Beauties, Roses, Carnations and other stock can be counted 

 on, but need not be counted. 



You need not check on count, nor worry about quality. We take care 

 of you, 



Send in your order for supplies at the same time and save on express 

 charges.

partment, and it is probable that no one 

 is closer in touch with the growers, for 

 his work among them has given him a 

 thorough knowledge of their needs and 

 perplexities. It recently was reported 

 in this column that Mr. Pollworth was 

 planning a new commission house, but 

 the interests back of him in that plan 

 will now be consolidated with the 

 Jones business. 



Various Notes. 



The largest special meeting of retail 



florists ever held in this country will 

 take place at Hotel La Salle, October 

 11 and 12. It is to be a gathering of 

 the F. T. D. interests. 



At the present rate of increase in 

 flower stores on East Fifty-fifth street, 

 it will soon rival East Sixty-third street 

 as a retail florists' thoroughfare. With
