The Market. 



Business is steadily increasing with 

 the passing of outdoor flowers and the 

 departure of warm weather. The market 

 clears each day, stock being scarce. 

 Chrysanthemums are coming into their 

 own and the stores are looking their 

 best. American Beauty roses are in 

 short supply, while the demand is heavy. 

 Long-stemmed Russell, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Shawyer, Ophelia and Mott roses sell as 

 fast as they can be unpacked. Medium 

 roses and corsage buds are slightly more 

 plentiful, but clear readily. VaHey can 

 be had, but there is not much demand 

 for it. Orchids are scarce, with the de- 

 mand good. Violets are coming in nice- 

 ly. Carnations meet a good demand, 

 while lilies are not abundant and then- 

 scarcity is felt.

MEMPHIS, TENN. 



Smith's Advance and October Frost 

 chrysanthemums were knocked out by 

 Jack Frost, who descended on the night 

 of October 8, causing havoc. C. H. 

 Hune, of the Memphis Floral Co., re- 

 ports a total loss of a fine crop of 

 chrysanthemums, which were just com- 

 ing in. Dahlias also suffered. He in- 

 dorses A. D. Livoni, both the yellow and 

 pink varieties. Jack Rose, red, and 

 John Walker, white, are the best for 

 store sales. Delice is too uncertain. 

 Business right along has been good. 



The Idlewild Greenhouses are making 

 a fine showing of bulbs, French stock. 

 Sales are good. The season's business 

 thus far shows an increase of thirty 

 per cent, says Manager Englehardt. 

 Charles E. Heckle, the working mem- 

 ber, was several years connected with 

 Otto Schwill & Co., and, though only 

 two doors removed, has that concern's 

 good will for success. 



Johnson's Greenhouses are sharing 

 in the general flourishing conditions, 

 making a bonny display in the new 

 store, which, while located some dis- 

 tance from the center of trade, is by 

 its attractive appearance a magnet that 

 draws from afar. 



Otto Schwill & Co. are lamenting the 

 advent of the recent severe frost, as it 

 will seriously affect fall sowing. It 

 must come in spring, but a "bird in the 

 hand, etc.," observed Manager Hyde.
