The Market. - ^^ 



The market the last two weeks has 

 been rather slow, and good stock is 

 scarce. Mums are arriving in better 

 condition, both yellow and white. Car- 

 nations have made their appearance for 

 the coming season and are of good' size 

 and color, but the stems are not up to 

 the standard. The aster crop is about 

 done with the growers in this section. 

 Dahlias are fine now; the cool nights 

 last week did a great deal of good to 

 these plants. 



tto.e Fashion Show. 



The fashion show whi«h was held 

 here last week proved a great success 

 to every business shop. The idea of 

 this affair was that all the business 

 houses should throw open their doors 

 to the public at the same time, 7:30 

 p. m., Tuesday, September 16. The 

 streets were all decorated with flags, 

 and the streets and stores were kept 

 in darkness until the time stated, when 

 the doors were thrown open to the^ 

 public. "^ 



There were no goods sold., on tho 

 opening evening, but fall aiidf wisC^^ 

 goods were displayed iiL'ev^ei'y w^y to" 

 attract the attention of the public. 

 This, of course, created a great demand 

 for plants, wild smilax, and all deco- 

 rative material. The larger stores were 

 all equipped with their own decorating 

 forces, and in this case the florists had 

 no chance to display their artistic abil- 

 ity as decorators; the florists had only 

 to deliver their goods. ' . 



The Florists' Club Meeting. 



Thursday evening, September 18, the 

 Lancaster county florists held their 

 monthly meeting, with an attendance of 

 about forty members. W. B. Girvin, of 

 Leola, spoke of the proper time to house 

 carnations to secure the maximum cut 

 for Christmas. Amos Rohrer discussed 

 the most practical manner of shading 

 the glass when planting carnations in 

 the houses from the field, and Budolph 

 Nagel gave a report of the early chrys- 

 anthemums. All the speakers brought 

 out a number of points, which were 

 discussed by the members. Wm. Aherne, 

 of Columbia, exhibited a fine specimen 

 of Platycerium alcicorne majus, and F. 

 Spinner showed a fine vase of Golden 

 Glow mums, which reflected splendid 

 skill in handling this variety. 



Frank L. Kohr, Chas. F. Edgar and 

 H. C. Rohrer were appointed to arrange 

 for a ladies' night and a chrysanthe- 

 mum show for the florists' wives and 

 friends, to be held in November. The 

 aext monthly meeting will be held the 

 evening of October 16, for which an 

 interesting program has been arranged.
