The Market. 



Business is once more normal and the 

 supply of flowers is about equal to the 

 demand for them. Asters are fast fail- 

 ing, as the weather has not been suitable 

 for them. Gladioli are gone. Dahlias 

 are plentiful and are being used to a 

 large extent in design work, but they 

 are, as usual, fragile and the loss of one 

 petal means the loss of the entire flower. 



Roses are now running along about 

 even with the demand, but last week 

 they were a glut on the market. Mums 

 are slow in coming, but carnations are 

 more plentiful than they were last week. 

 Of potted plants there are none, and cus- 

 tomers who wish them go away disap- 

 pointed, but usually carry a box of cut 

 flowers with them. 



Various Notes. 



The Mission Co. was busy with corsage 

 work September 24, as several sororities 

 at the university had social events sched- 

 uled ^r that day. Mr. Walker also said 

 that several large funeral designs kept 

 the stfaflf quite busy. 



Moving pictures of Ludwig's green- 

 house and farm wore taken in a moving 

 picture advertising contest and were 

 shown at the James theater. 



The American Insurance Union gave 

 an entertainment at Memorial hall, with 

 Secretary of Labor James J. Davis and 

 Miss Elsie Janis as the principal guests. 

 Flowers for these people of note were 

 sent in great profusion. A bouquet con- 

 taining seven dozen long Premier, the 

 gift of some of Miss Janis' admirers, 

 was made bv McKellar's. Many bas- 



kets of flowers for both Miss Janis and 

 other visitors were made by McKellar, 

 who likewise decorated Memorial hall 

 for the occasion. This firm has just 

 added a line of fancy canary birds ^nd 

 supplies to the new store on Broad street. 

 From reports it appears that the pub- 

 lic is using more flowers for weddings, 

 and many orders for decorating work are 

 booked ahead with Columbus florists, 

 indicating that the war-time depression 

 has disappeared. J. W. T. 



Carl Huber has been busy putting up 

 another new house, which he intends to 

 plant in carnations. He reports a great 

 deal of funeral work lately. 



Underwood Bros, have a good lot of 

 chrysanthemums, which are in fine shape. 

 Mr. Underwood reports business is pick- 

 ing up. 



Brust the Florist has been cutting 

 some fine carnations lately. Mr. Brust 

 recently added a Dodge delivery truck 

 to his delivery equipment. 



The Rolf Zetlitz Co. is cutting some 

 excellent roses now, long-stemmed and 

 of fine color. 



S. F. Stephens & Son have recently in- 

 st.illed a new boiler and are adding an- 

 other large house to their range. 



SCRANTON CLUB'S SHOW. 



The ScrantAi Florists' Club, which 

 embraces a membership in the greater 

 part of northeastern Pennsylvania, has 

 made extensive plans for a flower show, 

 to be held in the state armory of Scran- 

 ton November 8 to 11. This will be the 

 greatest show this section has ever seen, 

 as the armory is large. A section will 

 bo trellised off for dancing. Election 



night a Mardi Gras will be staged, and 

 a private wire will be installed for elec- 

 tion returns. One night will be given to 

 the Knights Templar, who will conduct 

 their annual ball. Armistice day will be 

 taken up by the American Legion. The 

 interest that is displayed by the club 

 this time surpasses anything in the past 

 fifteen years and it is with a great deal 

 of pride that the club boasts of having 

 nearly 100 per cent membership and 

 everyone enthusiastic and working to- 

 gether to put the show over. 



The d.epartment of forestry of the 

 state of Pennsylvania is making prep- 

 arations for an extensive exhibit, and 

 it is the intention of the local forester 

 to see that every school child attending 

 the show receives a potted evergreen.
