The Market. 



Business has not been what it should 

 be. Wet, disagreeable days last week 

 kept many of the small buyers at home. 

 Funerals have been few and there have 

 been no large decorations. 



There is plenty of stock to be had. 

 The first three days of the week Ameri- 

 can Beauties were plentiful; now Sun- 

 burst, Killarney, Bichmond, Hadley and 

 Ophelia are of good quality and plenti- 

 ful. Some of the stock shows mildew, but 

 all of it is good property. Some of the 

 florists have large showings of chrysan- 

 themums, but as yet mums are not in 

 full swing. Fancy McCullough dahlias 

 are to be had, but other varieties seem 

 to have had their day. The south is 

 already sending occasional shipments of 

 laurel roping. 



Various Notes. 



The second Liberty loan has been the 

 talk of the week. Many florists have 

 done their "bit" to aid Uncle Sam in 

 his struggle. At the conclusion of the 

 loan campaign the florists hope to have 

 a fair showing. They all are aware of 

 tlie fact that the quickest way out of 

 til is trouble is to pitch in and win. 



Charles Felton put in a window of $1 

 baskets October 18. Gladioli, dahlias 

 and oak foliage were used in them. 



Jerry Brookins, of Orchard Park, is 

 cutting good Prima Donna roses. 



October 16 F. P. Adams, of the 

 Anderson staff, and Miss Edna C. Sauer 

 took a plunge in the pool of matri- 

 mony. The bride 's bouquet, made by 

 the groom, consisted of Sweetheart and 

 other roses and orchids. The house was 

 decorated with palms, roses, chrysan- 

 themums and dahlias. F. P. A.

Fu- 



Scveral of the Dayton florists 

 complaining of scarcity of help. 



Potted ferns, begonias, mums 

 pompons are having a good sale. 



Business was good last week, 

 neral work kept many of the florists 

 busy, and bouquets were in good de- 

 mand. This made a good call for chrys- 

 anthemums and roses among the re- 

 tailers. Pompons had a good call along 

 with chrysanthemums. White roses and 

 lilies are good, as are Ophelia and Eus- 

 sell roses. Carnations are fair in qual- 

 ity, ])ut few of them are received. Out- 

 door flowers are practically out of the 

 market. Valley can be obtained at $8 

 per liundred. G. J. F.
