The store will be opened the first week 

 in December. . 



C. H. Bookedis, the Claypool Florist, 

 had his pleasure automobile stolen from 

 in front of his store. 



Clarence Thomas, of the E. G. Hill 

 Co., last week motored to the E. G. Hill 

 Co. establishment at Eichmond. 



Baur & Steinkamp have been cutting 

 some exhibition Turner and Golden 

 Gleam chrysanthemums. Mr. Baur has 

 completed the carnation premium sched- 

 ule of the American Carnation Society, 

 which soon will be published and dis- 

 tributed. . 



Nearly all the short-stemmed and in- 

 ferior roses, carnations and chrysanthe- 

 mums were cleaned up on All Souls 

 day, for grave decorations. 



The Tomlinson Flower Market en- 

 joyed excellent business last week. 



The Bertermann Bros. Co. has started 

 cutting on 25,000 chrysanthemum 



plants.

The Market. 



The month of November has started 

 well, with a good demand for cut flowers, 

 and the volume of business last week was 

 equal to that of any week in October, if 

 not surpassing it. The supply of cut 

 flowers is large, chrysanthemums in nu- 

 merous varieties reigning supreme. Dur- 

 ing the week Golden "Wedding, Major 

 Bonnaffon, in yellow and white, and pom- 

 pons, in great variety, appeared in the 

 market. Koses are of excellent quality, 

 the bright sunshine of the last two weeks 

 having done much to improve their qual- 

 ity as well as to increase the quantity, 

 the only scarce varieties being Kussell 

 and Beauty. Shawyer and Killarney 

 are plentiful in the pinks, while 

 Ophelia, Sunburst aiid Ward are in good 

 supply in the yellows. 



Carnations are rapidly gaining a place 

 in the market and prices are good. Vio- 

 lets are increasing in supply. This also 

 is true of Easter lilies. The demand for 

 these is excellent. The supply of lily of 

 the valley is not sufficient to meet the de- 

 mand, which is heavy owing to the great 

 number of fall weddings. Cattleyas con- 

 tinue to arrive in large numbers and the 

 demand ia good.
