about the maximum number he ever has 

 imported. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Washburn and 

 son will leave for Pasadena in about 

 a week, where they will spend the win- 

 ter months. At the store C. L. Wash- 

 burn reported the first cut of pompons 

 October 19, and says they are bringing 

 excellent returns. 



Both A. Miller and Guy Eeburn, who 

 are ou the road in the interests of A. 

 Henderson & Co., write the office that 

 the business outlook is excellent. A. 

 Henderson adds that this has been a 

 much better year for the bulb men than 

 1912. Things look lively all the way 

 around, he says. 



H. O. Winchell is now a member of 

 the Zech & Mann office force. He is 

 lending assistance to Miss Wolfe, who 

 has charge of the bookkeeping depart- 

 ment. The amount of business being 

 handled in the new quarters is too 

 heavy for one bookkeeper. 



A. L. Vaughan states that October 11 

 was the best day for his firm since 

 Memorial day. Ernest Farley and his 

 assistants in the shipping department 

 were busy from early until late. 



Something new in coal for wagon 

 heaters has been put on the market by 

 the Chicago Flexible Shaft Co., for use 

 in its heaters. It is called the Clark 

 carbon brick, and is said to be espe- 

 cially adapted for florists' use, as the 

 maker claims it will burn longer, more 

 evenly and produce more heat than any 

 yet offered. 



The John C. Moninger Co. is sending 

 out its new catalogue of 384 pages, 

 bound in cloth, by express instead of by 

 mail, as the cost is the same, inside of 

 certain limits. Express wagons back up 

 to the door and go away loaded full. 

 The books weigh thirty-six ounces and 

 600 to 800 make a load for the one- 

 horse wagons. If they could be sent by 

 parcel post it would be cheaper except 

 in the farther zones. 



Peter Pearson, who built greenhouses 

 on Gunnison street and started into 

 the wholesale business in young stock, 

 is well pleased with the progress made. 

 He has added seeds and bulbs to his 

 line this season. 



The final premium list for chrysanthe- 

 mums at the show at the Art Institute 

 November 5 to 7 was issued this week. 

 Copies may be had by addressing C. W. 

 Johnson, secretary Chrysanthemum So- 

 ciety of America, Morgan Park, HI. 



J. A. Evans, of Richmond, Ind., has 

 been in town this week. He says he 

 feels confident this will be a profitable 

 winter for the trade and that green-

TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



Business has been unusually dull, 

 owing to extremely warm weather, 

 warmer than it has been in twenty 

 years in October. Flowers have been 

 unusually scarce, owing to the freeze 

 in the latter part of September. Since 

 then it has been unusually hot and dry. 



I 



Chrysanthemums are quite scarce, as 

 are carnations, and much of the stock 

 is of poor qusdity. 



Various Notes. 



The Cushman Gladiolus Co., of Syl- 

 vania, was a heavy loser from the 

 hard freeze in the last part of Septem- 

 ber. The losses were nearly $1,000 in 

 gladioli and dahlias and it made it bad 

 for Toledo florists, as the Cushman con- 

 cern is the main source of supply for 

 glads and dahlias. 



George Bayer's chrysanthemums are 

 looking fine; in fact, better than ever, 

 if it is possible for his &tock to look 

 better than it did last year. 



Everybody has been busy painting 

 and redecorating stores, greenhouses 

 and motor delivery cars and all is in 

 readiness for a big business this yetir, 

 as Toledo is growing rapidly. Although
