they do? The vice-president came to 

 the rescue and presided at the Novem- 

 ber meeting. He probably will continue 

 to do so until such time as the president 

 can be prevailed upon to change his 

 mind and accept the honor for which 

 his long and useful career so eminently 

 qualifies him. 



The Plant Market. 



The conditions prevailing in the plant 

 market are so encouraging as to be 

 worthy of special mention. The dull- 

 ness that prevailed during the cut flow- 

 er activity of last month has passed. 

 In its place a healthy demand has 

 sprung up that promises to make a 

 shortage in many varieties long before 

 the holidays. Buyers realize that there 

 is not a great deal of really good bloom- 

 ing and colored stock to be had and 

 they are ordering freely, much earlier 

 than usual. Red peppers, one of the 

 pretty novelties, are already bespoken, 

 while small poinsettias suitable for bas- 

 kets bid fair to run out soon. Highly 

 colored crotons are in active demand, 

 owing to the fact that many growers 

 dropped them because they need heat. 

 Ericas have sold well. Cyclamens are 

 likely to be more in evidence than ever 

 before in this market.

The genial Robert Shoch has returned 

 from a successful southern trip. 



Edward Dornheim has returned to 

 Berger Bros. He says it is the only 

 commission house; Colonel Baker dis- 

 sents. 



Clarence U. Liggit has been south. 



The establishment of William J. 

 Young, Jr., was entered recently 

 through a ventilator by a sneak thief, 

 who escaped with a heavy overcoat and 

 some chrysanthemums. 



Samuel W. Sproul has reopened two 

 doors from his former location. 



The CoUingdale Greenhouses have 

 been dismantled. The ground has been 

 sold and dwellings are being erected 

 thereon. This is the old La Roche & 

 Stahl place, which was leased and suc- 

 cessfully operated by Alfred M. Camp- 

 bell. 



The M. Rice Co. has more orders on 

 its books today than in any previous 

 year at this time. 



Charles F. Edgar is said to be out 

 west. 



Fred Berger says that the season's 

 farming has greatly improved his 

 health. 



Max H. Rothe displayed some fine 

 Turner chrysanthemums that captured 

 the blue ribbon at the Pennsylvania 

 show last week. 



Alfred M. Campbell has put a new 

 blue car into service. 



The visit of the S. A. F. magnates 

 was in the interest of the publicity 

 fund. Mr. Young reports success in the 

 middle west and in California. 



An embargo on No. 1 buckwheat coal 

 went into effect again November 16, 

 greatly to the disappointment of the 

 florists and the coal men. 



Mrs. J. H. Claus celebrated a delayed 

 anniversary November 15 and 16. The 

 date of her entrance into business was 

 October 25, but that date proved un- 

 propitious this year. PhiL
