The Market, 



There has been little chanjije in mar- 

 ket conditions during the last week. The 

 weather has been cool, with rain nearly 

 every day. A frost put an end to good 

 outdoor stock, and this made the short- 

 age of other flowers somewliat more 

 acute. 



Of course, asters are a thing of the 

 past as to quantity, and gladioli are 

 about out of the market. Carnations, 

 while arriving more satisfactorily, are 

 far below the normal cut, and the de- 

 mand, for the next two weeks at least, 

 will have to remain unsatisfied. Roses 

 are not plentiful by any means, and, 

 while the quality is fine, there are a 

 number of orders tliat must be turned 

 down. 



Orchids are more jilentiful, and as 

 the quality is fine they move nicely. 

 Chrysantliemums are selling well, but 

 the sup])ly as yet is small and regular 

 shipments are not to be expected. The 

 first violets of the season reached the 

 market about a week ago and were dis- 

 posed of with no difficulty. They look 

 well for this time of the year and un- 

 doubtedly will cut quite a figure in the 

 sales later on. 



Business in general has not seemed 

 to have the usual fall push to it, al- 

 though the demand has been more than 

 enough to keep the market cleaned up. 



Various Notes, 



William C. Zimmermann showed his 

 interest in the World Series by going to 

 Chicago to see the first game between 

 the White Sox and the Giants. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. Zender, of Rogers 

 Park, 111., were the guests of Mr. and 

 Mrs. V. H. Holton last week. Mr. Zen- 

 der has been taking the mud baths at 

 Waukesha for the last few weeks and 

 was on his way home at the time of his 

 visit. 



F. IT. Holton was appointed chairman 

 of a committee to solicit subscriptions to 

 the second Liberty Loan from florists 

 and seedsmen in the county. Mr. Holton 

 is enthusiastic and it is hoped that the 

 time and effort he is spending so freely
