The Market. 



The rose supply is still on the in- 

 crease. Dahlias and cosmos still reign. 

 There has been no sign of frost here 

 and, until we have a good one, all green- 

 house stock will drag. 



The slowness of business has beeu due 

 to the sultry weather and to the fact 

 that the streets were full of outside 

 stock. Orchids were not so scarce last 

 week and could be bought as cheap as 

 $1 each. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an interesting meeting of 

 the Florists' Club Wednesday, October 

 1, when some fine specimens of dahlias 

 were shown by the president, Z. D. 

 Blackistone. George C. Shaffer, chair- 

 man of the entertainment, committee, 

 supplied the members with some won- 

 derful cats and some "almost" beer. 



Various Notes. 



The Louise Flower Shop has a num- 

 ber of weddings on for this month. The 

 firm also has a large landscape job, 

 which is said to be one of the biggest 

 undertakings of this kind that Wash- 

 ington has ever seen. G. A. Leissler is 

 now with the Louise Flower Shop. 



All the trade is looking forward to 

 "Say It with Flowers" week with great 

 hope. With close cooperation and hard 

 work this event will be a great success. 



Gude Bros. Co. is installing a 3-ton 

 refrigerating apparatus made by 

 Kroeschell Bros. Co., Chicago, the type 

 which has been adopted by a consider- 

 able number of Chicago wholesale flo- 

 rists and growers. 



Grand Bapids, N. D.— The Flower 

 Shop has been opened under the manage- 

 ment of Mrs. B. G. Wager in the build- 

 ing formerly occupied by the McElroy 

 Grocery, 408 DeMers avenue. 



Norwallc, O. — The Norwalk Eose Gar- 

 dens Co., of which Stephen Jones is 

 superintendent, has made large improve- 

 ments at its range, including an addi- 

 tion to its heating system, and in the 

 spring will erect five new greenhouses. 

 Material for these is now on the ground. 

 In one of its houses this firm has 1,500

 anthemum plants about ready for cut- 

 ting.

For Germinating 

 Small Seed 



From one of our customers, George 

 Hallock & Son, Orient, L. I.. N. Y., 

 we received the following: 



'We also found a slight wetting 

 very beneflcial at times in get- 

 ting small seed to come up when 

 conditions were unfavorable for 

 germination. The value of this 

 feature at times needs no com- 

 ment."
