The Market. 



Market conditions have changed ma- 

 terially, there being a good supply of 

 roses, even Beauties being in fair sup- 

 ply. Dahlias are plentiful and are sell- 

 ing well, and now that the first frost 

 has passed without loss it is hoped they 

 may remain with us for some time. 



Other flowers are in about the same 

 supply they were a week ago, except 

 that the first chrysanthemums are now 

 on the market. They are not especially 

 good, nor are they at all plentiful, but 

 they are readily cleaned up. Valley is 

 going up in price as the visible supply 

 of pips is decreasing. Our growers 

 were fortunate eno«gh to stock up pret- 

 ty heavily last winter and there will 

 be no real shortage here for some time. 



Various Notes. 



Floyd Bralliar intends to start dig- 

 ging cannas and caladiums this week. 



Leslie Littel has begun the erection 

 •of a house for storing bulbs and tubers. 

 It is expected to be capable of storing 

 the product of two or three acres. 



T. H. Joy attended the meeting of the 

 r. T. D. at Chicago last week, return- 

 ing October 13. 



Geny Bros, were the first to get their 

 Dutch bulbs on sale this year. They 

 still have a part of them to come, how- 

 ever. 



Haury & Sons are cutting a few 

 mums. They soon will have their usual 

 large stock of pot plants ready 



r. B. 



MAMAEONECK, N. Y. 



Despite the inclement weather Octo- 

 ber 13, there was an unusually good at- 

 tendance at the monthly meeting of the 

 Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural 

 Society, held in Hubbard hall, Green- 

 wich, Conn., at which President Sealey 

 presided. A charming feature was the 

 exceptionally fine display on the exhibi- 

 tion table; the exhibitors are to be com- 

 mended for their unflagging interest in 

 making the meetings attractive. The 

 judges awarded a cultural certificate to 

 "William Graham, for a vase of bouvar- 

 dias. Bobert Grunnert was commended 

 for a display of carnations. An ex- 

 hibit of grapes, petunias, carnations and 

 roses, by A. Pederson, was highly praised. 

 P. W. Popp was commended on his dis- 

 play of gladioli, a certificate of merit 

 having been awarded previously. 



Four new members were elected at 

 this meeting and one name was offered 

 for membership. The exhibition com- 

 mittee for the fall show, which will be 

 held October 31 and November 1, at 

 Greenwich, reported everything in read- 

 iness for the exhibition. An attractive 

 schedule comprising 121 classes has been 

 prepared and is ready for distribution. 

 Valuable prizes of cash, cups, cut glass 

 and silverware articles are included in 

 the premium list. The society antici- 

 pates a good display of flowers, fruits, 

 vegetables, etc., that will be in keeping 

 with the successes of the past. 



J. H. Troy, of New Eochelle, N. Y., 

 and F. E. Conine, of Stratford, Conn., 

 were visitors and each in turn addressed 

 the members briefly. The next meeting 

 vill be held November 10, at which 

 nominations for officers for 1917 will 

 be in order. A full attendance is re- 

 quested. P. W. Popp, Cor, Sec'y.
