The Market. 



Business improved last week to a con- 

 siderable degree, and with the increased 

 supply of roses and carnations, aug- 

 mented by the early chrysanthemums, 

 there is a good supply that moves read- 

 ily, with good clean-ups practically 

 every day. With the increasing supply 

 there is a noticeable improvement in 

 quality and a slight stiffening in prices, 

 although normal prices have not as yet 

 been fully reached. 



Various Notes. 



John Burke, of Burke & Burns, has 

 returned from a several weeks' visit to 

 Denver. 



The engagement of Joseph Solomon, 

 proprietor of the flower department at 

 S. S. Kresge'g, this city, to Miss Rose 

 Lobin, of Fall Eiver, was announced 

 last week. 



O'Connor had the decorations at the 

 house and church for the Jordan-Car- 

 penter wedding, October 4. 



Charles Hunt furnished the palms and 

 cut flowers for the decorations at St. 

 Michael's church for the monster Holy 

 Name Society celebration, when more 

 than 30,000 men gathered for mass out- 

 doors. 



William Tarbox, of West Greenwich, 

 attended the annual fair at Danbury, 

 Conn., last week, making his usual ex- 

 hibit of flowers. This year it was in 

 the form of a floral couch, made of 

 about 3,000 asters and 500 dahlias, while 

 400 white asters were used in making 

 the pillow. 



A. A. Kupfer has completed a con- 

 crete office building at 238 Potter ave- 

 nue, which is connected with his range 

 of greenhouses. 



George W. Fraser has been making a 

 special drive on Boston ferns in large 

 pots, to good advantage. 



M. F. Pollock reports an unusually 

 heavy demand for funeral work during 

 the last few weeks. 



A. M. Cassidy, of Kingston College, 

 is reopening the Strand Flower Store, 

 on Washington street. 



Carmichael Bros., of ShannoQk, are 

 still cutting a few late varieties of 

 gladioli. Thev began cutting about the 

 middle of July and have had constant 

 crops. They are preparing several acres 

 for peonies and next season except to 

 have upwards of ten acres of gladioli. 



Samuel Kinder, of Bristol, last week 

 had the decorations for the Colts' clam- 

 bake to the principal bankers of eastern 

 United States." He used 500 yellow 

 mums and several thousand gladioli.

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



^The Market. 



Cooler weather prevailed during the 

 week and appeared to stimulate busi- 

 ness.- Early mums are here aA^ of good 

 quality. Violets have made their ap- 

 pearance and find a ready market. Car- 

 nations are of better quality. Boses 

 are plentiful and most reasonable in 

 price, good flowers bringing as low as 

 $3 per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



Edward M. Pierce is cutting some of 

 the best early mums in the city. 



George A. Keed, of the Peckham Flo- 

 ral Co., has been suffering with a severe 

 cold. He was confined to his home 

 for two days. 



H. v. Sowle reports a week of good 

 business. His new store on Bowditch 

 street is about completed. 



S. E. Shaw is cutting some fine 

 Unaka mums. The flowers show the re- 

 sult of excellent culture.

nSINQEB'S UTTEBANOES. 



F. E. Blake, of Marion, O., is off on 

 a fishing trip on Lake Erie. A big 

 catch is looked for, as he is an expert 

 with the rod. 



Constien Bros., of Upper Sandusky, 

 O., have some fine carnations and roses. 

 Cyclamens never were better, but the 

 stock is scarce and they will not be 

 able to ship as in former years. 



Fred Sammet, of Upper Sandusky, 

 continues to be busy with funeral work 

 and with plant sales. A prosperous 

 summer was reported. 



Johnson's Greenhouses, of Carey, O., 

 were in all their glory when I called, 

 the stock being in excellent condition. 



John Schillinger, of Bucyrus, O., still 

 finds the scarcity of labor a handicap 

 in getting the fall work done; never- 

 theless, things are progressing in a 

 promising manner. 



F. J. Norton, of Bucyrus, has his 

 usual line of fall stock coming along 

 splendidly. His carnations and chrys- 

 anthemums never looked better. The 

 last repairs are being done on one 

 house, which is being rapidly filled with 

 late mums. 



R. B. Hayes, of Shelby, O., has a 

 small crop of new corn which is caus- 

 ing unusual excitement among corn 

 growers in that vicinity. "Thin cobs, 

 with big, long grains of com," is the 

 way it was described to the writer, 

 who, by the way, knows nothing about 

 corn except when it is boiled. 



Mrs. F. A. Hoffstadt, of Shelby, notes 

 that business is better than in former 



years. Preparations are being made to 

 handle more stock this season. 



Henry Clever is putting up two new 

 houses in Mansfield, O. He was for- 

 merly employed by the Don Floral Gfi,, 

 of that city. "' - :

BOTABY FLOBISTS. 



The Rotary Clubs organised in the dif- 

 ferent cities of the country are unique 

 in their membership in that only one of 

 each line of business or profession can 

 become a member, and he must either 

 be proprietor, partner or executive of a 

 business, or a representative of a con- 

 cern not local. 



The fiorists who have had the pleas- 

 ure and honor of being selected by these 

 clubs have an opportunity to do good 

 work for floriculture in all its branches. 

 As they are co-members with the other 

 representative members of the city, 

 they possess every privilege enjoyed by 

 the others. Here is an opportunity to 

 spread the gospel of flowers, by com- 

 ing in contact with the others in a 

 personal, intimate way. Here they can 

 dispel from the minds of people the 

 fallacies that are held by so many 

 about our business. They have a good 

 audience; they come in close relation 

 with the press and every representative 

 of every line. 



The floricultural interests of this 

 country should not be looked upon as 

 a side issue, or merely as a business to 

 furnish flowers, but as an influential 

 factor in the uplift of mankind. 



Edwin A. Seidewitz, 

 Chairman, florists' section of the Inter- 

 national Association of Rotary Clubs. 



AMEBICAN ROSE SOCIETT. 



The American Rose Society has re- 

 ceived applications for the establish- 

 ment of rose test gardens in the states 

 of Washington and Texas. The inter- 

 est that has been aroused in this line 

 seems to be country-wide, and conduces 

 to better trade for rose growers. 



This year there has been a marked 

 increase in the number of associate 

 members, the present membership ex- 

 ceeding 400, not including life members. 



There soon will be a meeting of the 

 executive committee, at which matters 

 of special interest will be taken up. 

 Twenty-eight members have subscribed 

 to the fund for the investigation of 

 black spot. Benj. Hammond, Sec'y.

John Hass had the decorations at the

 ness visitor last week. W. H. M.
