one at that. They were finishing nicely. 

 The cooler nights following warm days 

 suit the kentia best of all for growing, 

 and the kentias at Wyncote were jump- 

 ing, as the growers say. 



Various Notes. 



The number of guests on the inspec- 

 tion trip of the Henry F. Michell Co., 

 to Andalusia, August 27, was 825, includ- 

 ing a number of out-of-town visitors.

 er Co., who motored to Atlantic City, 

 and W. O. Sewall, Carlisle, Pa. 



Stewart H. Miller has returned from 

 New Egypt, N. J. A select fishing 

 party consisting of Emil H. Geschick, 

 Mrs. Geschick, Charles F. Krueger, Paul 

 R. Klingsporn and Al — you all know the 

 rest — had a glorious time and extraor- 

 dinary luck, the other kind. 



Samuel F. Lilley has returned from 

 Wildwood, N. J. 



The M. Rice Co. has signed S. If. P. 

 Plement to assist Willing Helper, one 

 of their successful salesmen. 



Duncan Macaw gives a most inter- 

 esting account of his visit to Minne- 

 apolis. The wonderful growth of the 

 city, the fine character of the improve- 

 ments, the outdoor display, were all de- 

 scribed with great appreciation. 



Harry Bayersdorfer has been staying 

 at Atlantic City since his return from 

 abroad. He finds the distance from the 

 city too great for a man who works as 

 hard as he does. He is up with the 

 birds, but often cannot get away in 

 time for the evening train and has to 

 take the electric car. 



Berger Bros, continue receiving fine 

 lilies. 



Antoine Wintzer secured deserved rec- 

 ognition for his magnificent canna crea- 

 tions from the judges at Minneapolis. 



George S. Faulkner has accepted a 

 position with Sydney Hoffman, the well 

 known florist of Boston. Mr. Faulkner

 weeks' visit, expecting to meet his

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The last wepk of August was no im- 

 provement over its predecessors, and 

 Saturday completed a trio of bad 

 months, the like of which have never 

 been known before in the history of 

 the wholesale cut flower market in 

 New York. A fairly good Saturday, 



however, was an augury for. better 

 times in the near future, and after 

 Labor day the improvement should be 

 general and continuous. 



The mum season has already begun. 

 There are some fine dahlias arriving, 

 and greatly improved asters are a fea- 

 ture of the present shipments. There 

 are plenty of roses of every kind, the 

 majority of them short-stemmed, as if
