some of their glass. Meanwhile an alto- 

 gether unforeseen demand, springing up 

 in the shape of extensive funeral work, 

 has thrown the flower market into an 

 abnormal state. There has been avail- 

 able hardly twenty-five per cent of the 

 stock needed to meet the demands from 

 other quarters, until the present week, 

 when, fortunately, mums have come 

 into full crop and are helping to save 

 the situation. The mums are clean and 

 large and command a ready sale at 

 prices from 8 cents to 60 cents per 

 bloom. Roses, including the new rose 

 Columbia, are particularly good this 

 season and are still in keen demand, at 

 prices ranging from $7 to $20 per hun- 

 dred, week-end sales being unheard-of 

 this fall. Carnations are slow in com- 

 ing into crop, but have every appear- 

 ance of coming up to last year's high 

 standard. Violets also are of excellent 

 quality and sell easily at $1.25 and $1.50 

 per hundred. 



The trade will feel the absence of 

 tulips when their season arrives, as few 

 have been imported this year, none, in 

 fact, coming to this neighborhood. A 

 few French daffodils, Romans and Pa- 

 per Whites are just to hand, but the 

 cost of freight, running as it does to 

 almost $20 per case, will make these 

 flowers unprofitable to those Avho force 

 them. However, we all hope for better 

 luck in this connection next season. 



A month from now will bring us into 

 the middle of the busy Christmas rush 

 and, judging by all the signs and por- 

 tents that so far have shown them- 

 selves, including the peace negotiations 

 and the success of the recent Victory 

 Loan, it is safe to prophesy a large 

 holiday trade. 



Various Notes. 



Cold weather has not yet set in, but 

 the coal deliveries have been kept up 

 so well that the season's risk has been 

 minimized and it is altogether probable 

 that part of the range of six houses of 

 the Dale Estate that were to be 

 pulled down will be allowed to remain 

 standing. Unfortunately, however, it 

 has been impossible to avoid a fire in 

 the large coal shed, which has been 

 burning for over a fortnight, without 

 efforts to extinguish it proving success- 

 ful. 



E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was a 

 visitor here last week 



It is a curious commentary that, de- 

 spite the fact that the war is in its 

 fifth year and conditions corresponding- 

 ly adverse, there has not been grown 

 on the Dale Estate for many years bet- 

 ter stock than that which is now being 

 cut. W. G. P.

 faction — to use the pot that proves its merit in the test
