garden flowers, still untouched by the 

 ■frost, are seen in the wholesalers' 

 windows. 



The rose shipments last week were 

 light — far below the average quantity 

 for this date. Prices for the selected 

 stock are hardening. About twenty of 

 the popular varieties are in the market, 

 Ophelia the most universally appre- 

 ciated. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Cowee sends word from Ber- 

 lin, N. Y., that the frost September 11 

 was the worst his section ever has had 

 so early and that it practically ended 

 the gladiolus season there. 



The weather is seasonable again 

 after a spell of the coldest early Sep- 

 tember temperature on record. Much 

 damage was done by the frost, the 

 dahlias suffering especially. This early 

 freeze will doubtless affect the exhibi- 

 tions at Bronx park, September 22 and 

 23, and the. sliow of the American 

 Dahlia Society, September 25 to 27, at 

 the Engineering building, 25 West 

 Thirty-ninth street, in conjunction 

 with the American Institute. Presi- 

 dent Vincent, who was in the city 

 t^eptember 18 on his way to lecture at 

 New Haven, says he still expects this 

 show to surpass all its predecessors. 



The exhibits of Geo. L. Stillman, of 

 "Westerly, R. I., in the windows of Alex- 

 ander McConnell's store on Fifth ave- 

 nue, are attracting much attention. His 

 largest and handsomest flower he has 

 named the Millionaire, an appropriate 

 name when one considers that he asks 

 $1(1 for a single root. Mr. Stillman 

 rej)orts the frost last week destroyed 

 $1,000 worth of his stock. 



David Clarke's Song say the fall sea- 

 son is opening favorably, and many 

 wedding decorations are booked for 

 October. Fred Lentz is back from his 

 summer auto trips south and through 

 New England, with Mrs. Lentz and 

 relatives. Young Mr. Clarke is in the 

 engineering department of the army. 



Warendorff is making many improve- 

 ments in his handsome headquarters in 

 the Ansonia. 



Frank Millang, Jr., was appraiser 

 last week in the valuation of a 500- 

 acre farm.

ccrning Sunday closing of the whole- 

 salers and tlie possibility that some of 

 them will open again. The majority of 

 the wholesalers are in favor of con- 

 tinuing the plan which lias worked so 

 well this summer. 



The plant auctions opened Septem- 

 ber 18. Tlie offerings are from local 

 growers. MacXiff had a fine lot of large 

 ])alms, which the enterprising retailers 

 were not slow in absorbing. 



W. A. Finger's Elsie Burgess dahlia 

 is said, by the United Cut Flower Co., 

 to be a splendid shipper and keeper and 

 is especially popular. Mr. Pappas, the 

 manager, has returned from a visit in 

 Canada, combining business and pleas- 

 ure. He says that at the Dale Estate 

 and J. H. Dunlop's the report is that
