MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



[Concluded from pa«{i' 58 J 



the result of only a few seasons' push. 

 The Seholz store at Gastonia, N. C, un- 

 der the management of Miles Budisal, 

 is a profitable venture, according to 

 General Manager MeCuUum, who ex- 

 pressed satisfaction with the stable na- 

 ture of the business at this time. 



• • • • 



The J. J. Fallon Co., Lynchburg, Va., 

 reports increasing business, much of 

 which is credited to the new store pre- 

 sided over by W. M. Doyle, Jr., and 

 fitted with thoroughly up-to-date fix- 

 tures. The store at Durham, N. C, is 

 also a success. The new rose houses re- 

 cently built at Lynchburg are produc- 

 ing some fine Premier, Columbia, Ward 



and Killarney.

B. F. Barr & Co., Lancaster, Pa., 

 made a fine display at the York fair. 

 There was a recorii attendance, one day 

 alone 125,000. "Best and most inter- 

 ested crowd I ever saw," observed B. F. 

 Barr, "and the result to our house and 

 the trade at large must be good."

The legend, "Boost flowers during 

 the week of October 11 to 16," was 

 carried in practically every flower store 

 and seed house in Baltimore, Md., and, 

 while the public were left in doubt as 

 to the real purpose of the boost, all in- 

 terested were on the qui vive to give 

 any information. 



• • • • 



In Washington, D. C, much prom- 

 inence was given in the local press to 

 a meeting of growers for the coming 

 chrysanthemum show. Each and every 

 one interested is putting forth his best 

 efforts to make the affair a success. 



• • • • 



At Philadelphia, Pa., the windows of 

 the Henry A. Dreer store are tastefully 

 decorated with dahlias, labeled and 

 priced. Bulbs and palms are effectively 



arranged. 



• • » • 



H. F. Michell Co., Philadelphia, Pa., 

 has a choice display in which dahlias 

 figure prominently. It is admired by 

 interested crowds. The success attained 

 by such and similar exhibitions inspired 

 the firm to secure the store adjoining 

 for the chief purpose of successive sea- 

 sonable displays. 



• • • • 



Hugh Scales, Birmingham, Ala., has 

 a cactus dahlia bright orange in color 

 with blooms that will measure seven 

 inches across, believed to be a seedling, 

 as it cannot be identified through any 

 catalogue. He has named it Seales' 

 Surprise. 



• • • • 



The Idlewild Greenhouses, Memphis, 

 Tenn., are making a window display of 

 artificial chrysanthemums and similar 

 goods, while the store carries a fine 

 line of the real article. "By show week 

 we expect to have a good crop of our 

 own chrysanthemums," observed Ma- 

 nager W. H. Englehart, "for the stock 

 is in fine shape." 



• • • 



The Memphis Floral Co., Memphis, 

 Tenn., has no complaint to make re- 

 garding trade in general and is making 

 preparations to handle the increase 

 looked for. State fair week is usually 

 a big business bringer for the trade in 



Memphis. 



• • • • 



Maury Bros., Nashville, Tenn., having 

 more store space than necessary, have 

 shared with an optical goods concern.
