York, was in town October 9, display- 

 ing a large line of new ribbons and 

 chiffons for the holidays. He reports 

 that business is good and says that his 

 customers are buying heavily this sea- 

 son. 



A. H. Seeker, who was making 

 friendly calls the other day around 

 Pittsford, N, Y., found Francis B. 

 Mitchell, of Kolaneka Farm, building 

 a small greenhouse for private use. 

 Bichard Teute, of Long Meadows, is 

 erecting a greenhouse, 20x100. Mr. 

 Seeker, who is secretary of the Eoches- 

 ter Florists' Association, is working 

 hard to get out every member at the 

 meetings. The winter meetings are 

 promised to be most interesting. 



E. F. Kennon, of the Climax Mfg. 

 Co., of Castorland, N, Y., was in town 

 October 14 and procured several good 

 orders. ■ 



Miss Ethel Foster spent the week 

 end at Macedon, N. Y. H. J. H.

The Market. 



A drop of more than 50 degrees in 

 two days brought frost on the night of 

 October 10, the exact date when every 

 well grounded gardener looks for it — 

 a frost that was queer in its effects, to 

 say the least. For one dahlia grower 

 found his field completely blackened; 

 another was immune, or nearly so; 

 while a third lost a great, big slice 

 of his dahlias, but not nearly all. Tak- 

 ing a general average, something like 

 two-thirds of the dahlias were spoiled. 

 When the retailers heard of it, many of 

 them said that they would drop dahlias 

 for the season. 



With the warmer weather that has 

 followed, the dahlias are coming in 

 rather more freely. Gladioli also are 

 quite numerous. A good many cosmos 

 are offered. The rest of the outdoor 

 flowers are not worth having. 



Oolden Queen is the notable addition

to the list of chrysanthemums; it is a 

 fine yellow. Unaka is not proving equal 

 to the market requirements; it is too 

 soft. The demand for chrysanthemums 

 is excellent; for white especially so. 



Returning from the special flowers 

 now most prominent to general condi- 

 tions, the market is showing signs of 

 greater activity. There were accumu- 

 IflHions last week that have not been 

 wiped out, but tluB stock now coming in 

 is clearing better in almost all kinds. 

 Carnations are improving decidedly; 

 they have size and stem. Roses are in 

 fairly good supply and their quality 

 is getting better. Violets of all three 

 types — the fine single, Marie Louise and 



Lady Hume Campbell — now are avail- 

 able. Snapdragon is becoming popular. 

 There are a few wonderfully good sweet 

 peas, though not many. Valley and cat- 

 tleyas are more plentiful; not so Easter 

 lilies and mixed orchids. There have 

 been some heavy orders both in and out 

 of town for coming-out teas and for 

 weddings. 



A Hardy Phlox Bouquet. 



There is a field of hardy phloxes at 

 the Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Locust Farm 

 that is especially lovely just before 

 frost. Late one afternoon in Septem- 

 ber, J. D. Eisele selected five of the 

 leading newer varieties that formed an
