"Best over," observed Henry Eber- 

 hardt, proprietor of the Roseiidale 

 Flower Whop, Schenectady, N. Y., in 

 commenting upon Thanksgiving busi- 

 ness. More space was taken for local 

 advertising for the holiday, and the 

 effect was seen in the increased pur- 

 chases. The number of orders wired 

 out of town exceeded those of previous 



years.

 turns from both stores, at Schenectady,

Julius Eger, Schenectady, N. Y., said, 

 "It was the best in the long experience 

 of the Schenectady Flower Shop and 

 includes Thanksgiving among the lead- 

 ing flower days." 



A. J. Hilton, Amsterdam, N. Y., 

 speaking of the preference for chrys- 



anthemums in spray form and the call 

 for pompon and anemone varieties, pre- 

 dicts a good future and is planning to 

 increase the stock of this class.

 tady, N. Y., had a fine Thanksgiving

The Schafer Estate, Ballston Spa, N. 

 Y., is well pleased with business condi- 

 tions, according to Manager Henry 

 Bensel, who agrees that a drive by the 

 retailers to persuade their patrons to 

 pay up is thoroughly in order. A fine 

 bench of Seidewitz chrysanthemums was 

 noted here, planted late in June for 

 Christmas flowering. Hydrangeas for 

 Easter were also noted.

The Park Greenhouses, Ballston Spa,

 during the two years of ownership.

Henry Schrade, Saratoga Springs, N. 

 Y., left immediately after Thanksgiving 

 for Florida, accompanied by Mrs. 

 Schrade. The business was left in the 

 able hands of their three sons. "Best 

 season in our experience," said Henry 

 Schrade, Jr. "We anticipate that the 

 Christmas demand will be fully up to 

 the demand of previous years."

Christian Dehn, Saratoga Springs, 

 N. Y., made the usual donation to the

 ers to spare for the unfortunates who 

 otherwise would have none.

The Crandcll Flower Shop, Glens 

 Falls, N. Y., reports the best Thanks- 

 giving business on record, according to 

 Henry Crandell, who, commenting upon 

 the recent excellent varieties of chrys-
