ness at Kansas City. He gives every 

 appearance of health and prosperity. 



Among the week's visitors have been 

 that pair of well known New Yorkers, 

 Paul Dailledouze and Frank H. 

 Traendly. Mr. Traendly still thinks the 

 New York flower market is the great- 

 est in the world, but admits he finds 

 many things hero that interest him. 



Frank Goacher (with apologies for the 

 spelling, if it isn't right), representing 

 the J. M. Gasser Co., of Cleveland, was 

 reported in the market this week. 



Miss Helen Patten, the well known 

 Toledo retailer, spent November 7 in 

 this market, buying for Christmas 

 trade.

Tlie Market. 



This is the between-holiday time, 

 when the cut flower business runs along 

 quietly, but everyone is getting ready 

 for the big holiday of the year. Chrys- 

 anthemums have finished and it is a 

 good thing, as it gives other stock a 

 chance to clean up. Retailers say they 

 are not busy and are now getting time 

 to prepare for Christmas. 



Carnations seem to be scarce. For 

 some reason fewer carnations appear 

 on this market each year. Violets, also, 

 are among the flowers that are not much 

 in evidence this season, and few have 

 appeared on the market so far. 



Various Notes. 



There is considerable complaint from 

 the lily growers that the cold storage 

 bulbs are not turning out successfully. 

 There are so many poor bulbs, they 

 claim, that it is doubtful if they can 

 get purchase money out of their ven- 

 tures. 



The Pittsburgh Retail Florists' As- 

 sociation held its monthly meeting 

 Thursday evening, December 2, at 

 the Oriental restaurant, Liberty avenue. 

 A pleasant and enjoyable evening was 

 spent. Sunday closing was the question 

 under discussion and the sentiments of 

 the out-of-town florists were that Sunday 

 closing would not be profitable to them. 

 The local florists, however, expressed 

 the opinion that Sunday closing would 

 be possible.
