The Market. 



Frost last week put an cud to outdoor 

 stock, thus making; .cut flowers in smaller 

 supply. Chrysanthemums, roses and 

 lilies are in good demand, but the sup- 

 ply is not large. Dahlias and asters are 

 still seen, but the quality is poor. Be- 

 gonias are being used in funeral work, 

 owing to the scarcity of other stock. 

 Carnations are not yet plentiful, but are 

 of better quality. Potted plants are be- 

 ginning to sell rapidly. Business among 

 the retailers last week was good, fu- 

 neral work being heavy, while there 

 were a number of decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Forest Mitman left October 12 

 for San Diego, Cal., where she will 

 spend the winter with her father. 



M. Anderson reports that business is 

 good, but the supply of flowers is not. 



The Abbey Avenue Greenhouses are 

 cutting some good early chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



Miss K. Young, accompanied by her 

 father, made an automobile trip Octo- 

 ber 14 to Piqua, O. 



Saul M. Kosenfeld, representing 

 Wertheimer Bros., New York, called on

been more stock. The demand is strong 

 and there is every indication of a good 

 fall business. The cool weather has 

 helped the retailers by increasing the 

 transient business. 



Eoses and carnations are of better 

 quality and the receipts are increasing 

 each week. The greater part of the 

 supply is from local growers. The 



heavy frost has killed everything out- 

 doors, and that is what causes the 

 shortage in cut flowers. There is a 

 large offering of lilies, and mums are 

 expected in a rush before long.
