LOWELL, IVIASS. 



The Market. 



Business in cut flowers has been brisk, 

 especially for funeral work. Several 

 new stores, including a grocery and 

 meat market, opened last week and 

 caused a great demand for baskets of 

 flowers. Several beautiful horseshoes 

 were used. 



There was a sharp, frost September 

 17, which killed many of the more ten- 

 der plants in streaks. A real killing 

 frost at this time would make stock 

 scarce, as indoor flowers are not yet 

 plentiful. People are now beginning 

 to look to their grounds and are pre- 

 paring for improvements, shrubbery 

 planting, etc. 



Various Notes. 



The A. G. Pollard d partment store 

 purchased 500 ferns of various kinds 

 from the Harvey B. Greene conserva- 

 tories. They were of different sizes 

 and suitable for small and large pocket- 

 books. 



Mr. Putnam, of Putnam & Son, has 

 been confined to his home by illness. 

 Their carnations are in the pink of con- 

 dition and will shortly be giving a good 

 account of themselves. Mr. Parker, 

 the foreman, is a grower of the old 

 school, and his experience combined 

 with their fine equipment produces ex- 

 cellent results. 



J. J. McManm n's store has had the 

 novel experience (after having been in 

 operation for thirty years in the same 

 locality) of having two high-class con- 

 cerns open up forJbusiness, one on each 

 side of it. The ^ore naturally came in 

 for a fair share of the resultant busi- 

 ness. This firm is cutting asters heavily 

 from a patch of several thousand plants, 

 which were planted on a hillside at the 

 farm for the latest cutting, and the 

 experiment, judging from present cuts, 

 was a success. 



Tom McManus, of J. J. McManmon's 

 greenhouses, is back at work after the 

 accident which broke his arm August 30. 



Morse & Beals are having a large 

 anount of out-of-town orders, in addi- 

 tion to good local business. Conse- 

 quently, they have had to get more 

 help recently. E. E. E. 



Peoria, III. — Siebenthal & Nelson are 

 preparing to put in a complete new re- 

 tail equipment and l.ave contracted with 

 the A. L. Kandall Co., Chicago, for 

 the fixtures, which are to include an 

 English wall case for the display of 

 accessories. The color scheme is to be 

 in two-tone ivory. They hope to have 

 the new store ready early in November, 

 the outfit having to be made to order.
