beginning to arrive in larger quantities. 

 Consequently there has been a drop in 

 the prices of most flowers during the 

 last ten days. There has been an in- 

 creased demand for flowers, but the de- 

 mand has not been so sharp as it would 

 have been had there been some hard 

 frosts. Many persons are still cutting 

 cosmos, dahlias, etc., from their own 

 gardens, and the florists are losing con- 

 siderable trade which they usually get 

 at this time of the year. 



Various Notes. 



At the October meeting of the Essex 

 County Florists' Club plans were dis- 

 cussed to make an unusual effort to make 

 the club a success this year. During the 

 last year or two the affairs of the club 

 have lagged somewhat and the meetings 

 have not been as large as they should 

 have been. In the drive for bigger 

 things this year, a number of new mem- 

 bers have already been secured and in- 

 terest in club affairs has been aroused 

 among many members who have been a 

 little lax in club affairs of late. 



Henry Hornecker, Central avenue and 

 Grove street. East Orange, reports that 

 business is going well, but that it lacks 

 the sn^ that it should have the latter 

 part of October. A good season's busi- 

 ness is expected, however.

The Market. 



Business was fair last week, although 

 at times there was a considerable glut, 

 owing to another period of warm 

 weather, which favored outdoor produc- 

 tion to the sorrow of commercial inter- 

 ests. There has been plenty of green- 

 house stock, including chrysanthemums, 

 which, however, cleaned up nicely each 

 day in the city markets. Some of the 

 outside growers are offering them to 

 small dealers in the suburbs at prac- 

 tically the buyers' prices. Otherwise, 

 prices continue just about as they have 

 been noted for several weeks past. 

 Koses continue to come along in far 

 greater quantities than demanded. 



Business in "Wilkinsburg seems most 

 flourishing, considering the fact that 

 the season is not as yet in full swing. 

 On th^^-c^ntra^T, the neighboring city 

 of B/^dock is having a noticeably dull 

 season so far. Some attribute it to the 

 strike of the steel-workers, whose nu- 

 merous funerals demand quantities of 

 flowers from January to December, 

 while others say it is merely an off sea- 

 son. The former opinion seems more

logical, inasmuch as other steel manu- 

 facturing centers of less importance and 

 magnitude along the Monongahela and 

 Allegheny rivers are having like expe- 

 riences, which all attribute to the fact 

 that the steel-workers are on strike and 

 to the general unrest, which is not con- 

 ducive to flower buying. 



Club Outing. 



The Pittsburgh Florists' Club made an 

 automobile tour October 14 of the com- 

 mercial greenhouses, having, on the two 

 previous occasions, visited the private 

 ranges. In spite of the rain a crowd of 

 sixty-six assembled at E. C. Ludwig's 

 store, on the north side. 



The first stop was to have been at the 

 houses of the McCallum Co., at Harmony, 

 but, owing to the bad roads, this was 

 given up and the first place visited was 

 the range of the E. C. Ludwig Co., at 

 Ludwig Station, on the Butler Short 

 Line. Here the visitors found every- 

 thing in fine shape. The firm had 

 a part of its bulb shipment and already 

 had them in flats and pots. After spend- 

 ing some time around the houses, the
