army and has started from the Mexican 

 border for New York and this city, to 

 attend to his florists' business. 



Although Paradise Bocks, at Middle- 

 town, already is one of the most beauti- 

 ful estates in this vicinity, due to the 

 efforts of Alexander MacLellan, for 

 many years its gardener, extensive im- 

 provements are being planned by the 

 owner, Jordan L. Mott, with Mr. Mac- 

 Lellan 's assistance. 



The death of A. J. Leary, which oc- 

 curred September 14, is recorded in the 

 obituary column of this issue.

The Market. 



Business is showing a gradual im- 

 provement, but the variety of flowers 

 is not increasing. Boses and gladioli 

 are the principal stock, with Beauties 

 and a few lilies. There are just enough 

 carnations to attract attention and 

 cause trouble. Some Jersey dahlias are 

 also on the market. Lilies have not 

 been nearly sufficient to go around. The 

 quality of the few asters coming in is 

 so poor that the wholesalers do not care 

 to take orders for them, preferring to 

 have the customer see the stock before 

 buying. Orchids are getting more plen- 

 tiful. There is no valley on the market. 

 Beauties clean up every day. Greens 

 are plentiful. 



The retail stores were busy the latter 

 part of the week taking care of several 

 good funeral orders. They report the 

 general counter trade as improving 

 now, since we seem to be having real 

 fall weather. The growers in this vi- 

 cinity have sold all their surplus carna- 

 tion plants and they report the stock 

 planted is doing better than for several 

 seasons. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. H. Lux, the new Penn hotel flo- 

 rist, was off duty September 26 just 

 long enough to take unto himself a 

 wife. 



Miss Hazel Learzaf, daughter of 

 George Learzaf, the Mount Washington 

 florist, was married September 26 to 

 Fred D. Michaels, of this city. After 

 a sojourn in the eastern cities, they 

 will be at home in Greensburg, Pa. 



Pittsburgh a week ago had a heavy 

 frost that injured all the soft stock and 

 vegetables. Thursday night, Septem- 

 ber 21, there was a hail storm, but no 

 damage was reported. 



Stores are greatly handicapped this 

 season in making deliveries, as there is 

 a great shortage in the crop of errand 

 boys. Clarke.

The success of your greenhouse depends 

 largely upon the results preyiously shown 

 by the builder you employ. 



Therefore, every grower should investi- 

 gate the capabilities of the greenhouse- 

 builder he selects for the job. 



The above full iron frame, patented curved 

 eave Metropolitan greenhouse was erected 

 by us for Mr. W. W. Fuller, at Briar 

 jCliff Manor, N. Y. This house is 26x100 

 feet, with an absolutely waterproof ce- 

 ment boiler cellar. It is divided into 

 three compartments, which are separately 

 heated and ventilated, and, being glazed 

 with 24x24-inch glass, is extremely light. 

 We also did the masonry.
