 Stuart, of Andrew W. Mellon 'a Wood- 

 land road estate, also has deserted the 

 calling of his choice for that of the 

 Mesta Machine Co. Neil Forsyth has 

 left James P. McKinney, of Shady ave- 

 nue. It goes without saying that this 

 young Scotchman is doing more than the 

 proverbial "bit" for his native and 

 adopted countries. 



Mrs. Margaret C. Stevenson is with 

 Kauffman's floral department. 



Robert Q. Shoch has sent out cards 

 announcing his arrival in the interests 

 of the M. Rice Co., of Philadelphia, Pa.

 system. 



After seven years' service with Har-

 to enter the employ of George Franks, 

 proprietor of the Philadelphia Florists. 

 Albert Landzettel is again with Mr. 

 Franks, whom he left some time ago to 

 go on the road to represent another 

 line. 



Rudolph Zilke reported for duty No- 

 vember 4 after a month's absence from 

 the store of the E. C. Ludwig Floral

 per cent better than anticipated. James 

 Moore, of the West park conservatory, 

 also has a splendid display of this domi-

The Market. 



The market is in a hig[hly satisfactory 

 condition at present, owing to the great 

 crop of chrysanthemums which have 

 been forced into bloom by the sun- 

 shiny, warm weather of the last few 

 days. The big run on funeral work 

 continued throughout last week. A 

 large number of new cases of influenza 

 having developed, the Board of Health 

 decided to keep the lid on public meet- 

 ings for an indefinite period. 



Some extremely fine chrysanthemums 



are being offered, including Golden 

 Wedding, Chrysolora, Odessa, Chieftain, 

 Dr. Enguehard and Major Bonnaffon. 

 Pompons are arriving in numberless 

 varieties and they sell on sight. The 

 rose supply is amply sufficient to meet 

 all demands and prices have dropped. 

 There is a good crop of fine carnations. 

 Single violets and sweet peas are com- 

 ing in larger quantities and there are 

 some exceedingly fine orchids, princi- 

 pally cattleyas, which bring $1 and $1.25 

 each.
