devoted to ferns. This is rather a new 

 department with this firm, that is, the 

 growing of such quantities, but "Rich" 

 has demonstrated that he can grow ferns 

 as well as geraniums. He had Boston, 

 Scottii and Whitmanii as fine as I have 

 ever seen them. 



Bobert Halliday, who has been ill at 

 his home on Woodburn avenue, Govans, 

 for the last four months, is still confined 

 to the house, but the last reports of him 

 from Robert L. Graham were that he 

 was much improved. Mr. Graham told 

 me be had never seen Bob look better. 

 Everyone hopes he will soon be back on 

 the job, because a good fellow like him 

 is greatly missed. 



One of the most serious cases which 

 have come before the Baltimore Traffic 

 Court in a long time was that of An- 

 thony F. Eilers, a salesman for a well 

 known Philadelphia seed house. Mr. 

 Eilers was in Washington and August 17 

 started Lome in his machine to catch the 

 train from Philadelphia to Detroit in 

 order to be at the opening session of the 

 8. A. P. convention. When on Washing- 

 ton boulevard, near this city, he collided 

 with two automobilt :. He was charged 

 with failing to have his operator's card 

 and registration certificate and was 

 fined $5 for each offense. For reckless 

 driving he was fined $50, but the more 

 serious charge of failing to stop and 

 render aid cost him $100 and thirty days 

 in jail — a total fine of $160 and thirty 

 days Ib jail. His counsel took an appeal 



and the case will be heard in the Crim- 

 inal court. Tate.

The Market. 



Business last week was about as 

 usual at this time of the year, quite dull 

 except for funeral work. 



Several good rains during the week 

 brightened up outdoor flowers; the rains 

 were badly needed. 



The usual summer supply is coming in 

 daily, with plenty of it for the demand. 

 There are plenty of roses, but in these 

 only few are of the fancy grades. Car- 

 nations were scarce, but a large con- 

 signment of asters made up for the 

 shortage. Tuberose stalks are selling 

 well and a big supply is on hand daily. 

 Gladioli are still the best seller. All 

 good stock cleans up long before the 

 market is over. Valley and lilies are 

 scarce; in fact, the market of late is 

 clear of these. Among the outdoor flow- 

 ers coming in now are dahlias, cosmos 

 and goldenrod, which make excellent 

 window dressing. Some Golden Glow 

 and Smith's Advance mums are ex- 

 pected. 



Greens still have a big call in all 

 lines, especially asparagus, smilax and 

 flat ferns. 



Various Notes.

the train which carried the St. Louis 

 florists to the Detroit convention when 

 President Kaupp, of the Missouri State 

 Florists' Association, called for a meet- 

 ing, which was held on the train. Sec- 

 retary Archias was also present, and 

 all became members of the association. 

 Twenty-five members were gained. It 

 was decided to hold the first meeting 

 and exhibition at Kansas City the first 

 week in November. Mr. Manson, of the 

 Pinehurst Floral Co., Kansas City, was 

 elected vice-president and will have 

 charge of preparations for the meeting. 

 A big delegation is promised from St. 

 Louis for this first big meeting.
