national Flower Show in New York in 

 March, 1914, and the outlook encourag- 

 ing for its success. 



The Stumpp & Walter Co. has one of 

 the large windows devoted to Japanese 

 gardens, while the chicken industry 

 monopolizes the other. 



Burnett Bros, also have in their new 

 store on Chambers street a poultry de- 

 partment. 



A unique part of Thorley's window 

 decoration last week was an enormous 

 squash, but whom it was supposed to 

 represent was a mystery. 



T. W. Langan, of Astoria, L. I., is 

 the rubber king of the island. Azaleas, 

 also, are one of his specialties.

The Market. 



Business has been good for the last 

 few weeks and the month of October 

 has left a good record. The season of 

 '^ceptions for debutantes is now well 

 started and several receptions have al- 

 ready been held which called for the 

 use of a great many flowers. 



The mum season being nearly at its 

 height, many fine blooms are available 

 and never have they brought as good 

 prices as this year. It is no trouble 

 at all to get $5 to $6 per dozen, retail, 

 for average flowers. In past years 

 $4 per dozen was considered a good, 

 stiflf price by most of the local flower 

 buyers. Koses have shortened up, ow- 

 ing to a spell of dark, cloudy weather. 

 Violets are now carried in stock by 

 many of the retailers and meet with 

 a ready sale. Pompon mums are also 

 used extensively in corsage bouquets, 

 which are worn freely so far this sea- 

 son. Fall weddings call for many thou- 

 sands of valley each week. Cattleyas 

 are coming more into favor locally 

 each year, and where an occasional one 

 was sold a few years ago many dozens 

 are sold now. Green stock is used in 

 immense quantities and the fine south- 

 em smilax now available is used ex- 

 tensively.
