Atlas block now occupied. They are in- 

 stalling a large storage room that will 

 be cooled by the temperature of the out- 

 side air. 



The transportation committee of the 

 Florists' Club has selected the Lake 

 Shore train leaving at 11 p. m. Novem- 

 ber 7 as the "official" one for the 

 party which will attend the Cleveland 

 show. It looks as though quite a few 

 will go. 



Visitors. 



H. N. Lowe, of Long Beach, Cal., was 

 in town last week, on his way home 

 from a trip to the Atlantic coast. He 

 was here in early September on his 

 way to Flint, Mich., where he bought 

 a Buick in which he drove to Boston, 

 accompanied by his mother, who will 

 spend the winter there. Then he drove 

 back to Flint, where he had the car 

 shipped to the Buick 's Long Beach 

 agent. He has called on scores of flo- 

 rists en route. 



Louis H. Kyrk, the Cincinnati whole- 

 sale commission florist, has been in town 

 for several days and went from here to 

 Milwaukee. He reports business good 

 in the Ohio city, with all flowers clean- 

 ing up in first-class shape. 



Among this week's visitors we have 

 Herman Leitz, of New Haven, Ind. 



A. Mosconosotis, of Minneapolis, was 

 in Chicago this week. 



Mrs. Thielman, of Owosso, Mich., ac- 

 companied by her family, was in Chi- 

 cago this week for business and 

 pleasure. 



Alois Frey, of Crown Point, spent 

 Sunday with friends in Chicago. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business is good. The market is well 

 supplied with stock — enough to take 

 good care of the steady, active demand. 

 The shipping business in greens and cut 



flowers is excellent. Roses are plentiful 

 and sell well. October 22, however, the 

 receipts were so heavy that many of 

 the roses, as well as some other flowers, 

 failed to clear at sight. The carnation 

 supply, while apparently sufficient for 

 immediate needs, is none too large. 

 Some excellent Easter and rubrum lilies 

 are arriving. Chrysanthemums are 

 plentiful. The blooms are of unusually 

 good quality for early stock. Among 

 other offerings are valley, snapdragons 

 and calendulas. Greens are plentiful 

 and meet with a good demand. 



Various Notes. 



A fund with which to purchase com- 

 fort kits for the florists from this vi- 

 cinity who are in the service of Uncle 

 Sam, has been started. To C. J. Jones 

 belongs the credit of starting the thing. 

 Contributions may be left at the store 

 of the William Murphy Co., or checks 

 may be mailed to W. Ray Murphy, in 

 care of the "William Murphy Co.
