truly: " OoriijKiiat i voly few haA'c borne 

 -•ill till' expenses up to the present. But 

 the benefits have been shared by all. 

 When you, as a whole, understand the 

 problem before you and the opportu- 

 nity, and realize that you have a prac- 

 tical method for solving that problem 



and improving the opportunity, surely 



then no man would be such a cheap 

 skate and a piker as to wish to benefit 



and ride on the shoulders of his fellow 

 florists who pay his bills for him."

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The coutlition of the flower market 

 of the last few weeks is not materially 

 changed. The demand, on the whole, 

 is perhaps a little stronger on some 

 days, yet weaker on others, so that the 

 volume of business remains about the 

 same. Most of tlie arrivals are outdoor 

 stock, asters, gladioli and dahlias figur- 

 ing chiefly. 



The supply of roses is not large, yet 

 ([uite suflicient for the demand. Amer- 

 ican Beauty cannot boast of much 

 quality, but the hybrid tea stock is 

 pretty good for the time of year, and 

 the price range, $1 to $8, with some 

 varieties bringing a dollar or two more, 

 is well maintained. 



The supply of carnations is increas- 

 ing, but the flower»i are principally 

 from field ])lants, few growers sending 

 in any benched stock. The price range 

 is $2 to $.3 per hundred, with selected 

 stock commanding as much as $4. 



Cattleyas are scarce, but the demand 

 for them is not at all active. A few 

 of the labiata variety are coming in. 



There is a good sujtply of white 

 lilies, and L. speciosum rubriim is com- 

 ing in fairly well. Lily of the valley 

 continues scarce. Considerable Bou- 

 vardia Ilumboldtii is arriving and it 

 brings as mucli as .$1 y)er bunch, in a 

 way taking the place of lily of the 

 valley. 



Arrivals of chrysanthemums are in- 

 creasing, but they consist of only one 

 or two varieties. About $1 to $3 per 

 dozen is the price range. 



There is a heavy supply of miscel- 

 laneous flowers, and clearances are 

 quite difficult. 



Various Notes. 



The directors of the New York 

 Botanical Garden have invited the 

 members of the American Rose Society 

 to hold a meeting in the garden Sep- 

 tember 29. With the exhibition of the 

 American Dahlia Society in progress 

 in New York at the same time, it is 

 expected that the attendance will be 

 large. 



Arthur Herrington. Madison, N. J., 

 gave a talk September 9 to the visitors 

 at the exhibition of the Bedford Hills 

 Garden Club, Bedford Hills, N. Y. 



The New York Botanical Garden will 

 inaugurate a series of special "Green- 

 house Lectures" from November 5 to 

 December 11, inclusive. The lectures 

 will be given in the Museum building. 

 Bronx park. 



A party comprising James Stuart. 

 Mamaroneck. X. Y. ; B. Hammond 

 Tracy, Wenham. Mass.; J. A. Manda. 

 West Orange. N. J.; George Hilden- 

 brand. C. B. Weathered, C. Lowther. 

 J. H. Repper, W. F. Sheridan, F. H. 

 Traendly and W. C. Rickards, Jr., of 

 New York, were taken by President A. 

 M. Henshaw, of the New York Florists' 

 Club, to Short Hills, N. J., Saturday. 

 September 11, where he entertained 

 them at his residence, afterwards tak- 

 ing them on to Madison, to visit C. H. 



Totty. At Madison the party looked 

 over the Totty greenhouse establish- 

 ment, being later taken to Morristown, 

 where they were entertained at dinner 

 at the Mansion House, the guests of 

 Mr. Totty. At Madison, Arthur Her- 

 rington and A. Buzieka joined the 

 party. The occasion was one of much 

 enjoyment. 



Charles Stanley, Plainfield, N. J., has 

 disposed of his greenhouses, and it is 

 understood that thev will be disman- 

 tled. J. H. P. 



Is it to be flowers and fruits or flowers 

 and candy? In Europe many, perhaps 

 most, high-class florists also handle 

 fancy fruits. In America many con- 

 fectioners have put in flowers as a side 

 line, but not many florists have added 

 either fruits or candy to their dealings. 

 However, many New York florists com- 

 bine both fruits and candy with their 

 baskets of steamer flowers and J. H. 

 Small & Sons have juranged with 

 Sherry's for a supply of their high- 

 grade goods for Small's customers. 



There will be an exhibition of dahl- 

 ias September 25 and 26 in the Museum 

 building, New York Botanical Gar- 

 den, Bronx park. Sehodules are now 

 ready for distribution and may be had 

 by addressing the secretiiry of the Hor- 

 ticultural Society of New York, George 

 V. Nash, New York Botanical Ckirden, 

 Bronx park. 



DENVER, COIJO. 



The Market. 



Business showed a decided change 

 for the better during the week ending 

 September 11. Cooler weather and 

 some funeral work were largely re- 

 sponsible. The immense oversupply of 

 outdoor stock is decreasing somewhat 

 now, but everyone is waiting for the 

 first frost. Some fine roses are coming 

 in now and bring $6 to $25 wholesale. 

 Carnations are scarce and not much in 

 demand, and probably will not be so 

 long as asters last. Sweet peas have 

 been damaged by the hail and are 

 about out of the running. Dahlias are 

 good and bring $2 and $3 per hundred 

 wholesale. Pot plants are scarce, 

 though a few asters and begonias are 

 to be had. Shipping has been good. 



Various Notes. 



The most destructive hail storm that 

 we have had in years visited the mar- 

 ket garden district known as Wheat- 

 ridge, August 27, and florists in the 

 path of the storm suffered heavy losses, 

 the greatest being that of Graul Bros., 

 whose place was probably damaged to 

 the extent of $10,000. Through Mr. 

 Arnold, representing the Pittsburgh 

 Plate Glass Co., Charles Graul secured 

 650 boxes of glass. The rose range has 

 already been reglazed and another 

 week of good weather will complete the 

 work. The stock was not damaged as 

 much as was first thought. The next 

 heaviest loss was at the Idlewild Farm 

 Greenhouses, which were damaged to 

 the extent of $5,000. Al Hamberger 

 lost about 5,000 feet of glass. The 

 Oakes Home Greenhonaes lost 1,250 

 feet of glass and stock was somewhat 

 damaged. The Crown Hill Greenhouses 

 lo.st 1,000 feet; tlie stock in the houses 

 was not much damaged, but the out- 

 door stock suffered heavily. 



The Bright Spot Greenhouses are 

 cutting a fine crop of Oofawbin. Wil-
