The Market. 



On the morning of October 29 we 

 had our first frost of the season, with 

 the thermometer registering 28 degrees. 

 Nearly all the outdoor stock, unless 

 protected, was killed. After two or 

 three hard frosts, the temperature rose 

 to the summer level and last week busi- 

 ness was slow, owing to the heat. The 

 present week started cool, with a large 

 number of funerals, and much better 

 business will result. This week will 

 see the finish of the greater part of 

 the mums, as the warm weather 

 hurried them on. About the only ones 

 left will be the extra late varieties. 

 Koses are plentiful and the wholesale 

 price is low. Carnations are coming in 

 with nice flowers, but the cut is a little 

 short. 



Various Notes. 



William Halbrooks, superintendent 

 at the Oak Hill cemetery, is cutting 

 some nice carnations from his new 

 house, which is located near the ceme- 

 tery. He is selling the cut at whole- 

 sale. The greater part of the plants 

 are of the Enchantress varieties. Some 

 of the newer sorts are being tried out. 

 The house is 30x200 and of Moninger 

 semi-iron construction. The boiler is 

 a 125-horse-power Brownell, put in with 

 the expectation of erecting more 

 houses. The establishment is on a 5- 

 acre tract of fine, level land, near the 

 city limits. Two of the sons are in 

 charge. 



Louis Fritsch has put in a new hot 

 water boiler, with capacity enough for 

 another house. He reports a good busi- 

 ness. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Elspermann have 

 returned from Chicago. They were ex- 

 ceedingly busy on All Saints' day and 

 All Souls ' day and business since then 

 has been good. 



The west side business men recently 

 held a fall festival and it is planned 

 to hold one annually. The exhibits 

 were all in tents, of which there were 

 six. The Wm. Blackman Floral Co. had 

 a large exhibit of palms, ferns and cut 

 flowers in the pure food tent, and it 

 attracted considerable attention. They 

 won the first prize. They find business 

 good and the supply 6f flowers is equal 

 to the demand. Their downtown store

 admired. This firm is cutting excellent
