NEWARK, N. J. 



The majority of the Newark florists 

 had good Tlianksgiving business and 

 they are looking forward to an excel- 

 lent Christmas trade. As far as Christ- 

 mas stock, such as wreaths, cords, spe- 

 cialties and potted plants, is concerned, 

 the florists here are fairly well stocked 

 up. Most of tlie plants, however, will be 

 put in within the next week or two. 

 Prices were almost down to normal for 

 the Thanksgiving trade this year, as 

 compared with the prices of the last two 

 or three years. The indications are that 

 the Christmas prices will also be rea- 

 sonable. 



The Deisler Floral Co. is the trade 

 name under which the florist's business 

 at 31 Holland street will be known and 

 conducted in the future. Mary Chalupa, 

 30 Holland street, is the proprietor. 



Fred P. Wolfinger, 883 Broad street, 

 reports an excellent Thanksgiving trade. 

 General business at this store is also 

 reported to be somewhat better than it 

 has been in the past. E. B. M. 



Albion, N. Y. — The post office address 

 of W. E. Kirchhoff, the well known 

 grower of gladioli, has been changed 

 from Pembroke, N. Y., to Albion, N. Y. 



Houston, Tex. — F. A. Dewson, of tlie 

 Dewson Plant Nursery, has purchased 

 the entire stock of the estate of the 

 late H. J. Condron, Dickinson, Tox. Mr. 

 Dewson will devote all his time to grow- 

 ing a larger quantity than was grown in 

 the time of Mr. Condron. 



Titusville, Pa. — L. J. Kowe put in new 

 lieating apparatus during the recent 

 summer, the new equipment including 

 two 12.")-horsei)owor boilers, and made 

 numerous otlier improvements, so that 

 he has liis place in better shaj>e tlinn 

 ever before. He is counting on a good 

 season. 



Fort Worth, Tex.— Gordon Boswell 

 lias joined the F. T. D. He has kept a 

 record of tlie telegraph delivery orders 

 at his store, 702 Main street, and lias 

 found a considerable disproportion be- 

 tween the orders coming in and the ones 

 lie has sent out. Of fifty orders sent out 

 he found that forty-nine ranged from 

 $4 to $12 in value, while the fiftieth or- 

 der was for $150. 



Reno, Nev. — Donald Clayton has trans- 

 formed the cottage in the rear of the 

 grounds on which he grows outdoor 

 flowers, at 723 Sierra street, into a 

 quaint little flower shop, where chrys- 

 anthemums and other flowers are dis- 

 played. Directly in front of his cottage 

 flower shop, Mr. Clayton has a small 

 garden of shade trees and shrubbery, in 

 which he will lay gravel walks and place 

 a fountain. The garden will be sur- 

 rounded by a low stone wall.
