Mention The Review when ron write. 



Austin Wallace is cutting a large 

 quantity of Killarney. 



Miss Nellie Goodge has a few benches 

 of lavender Queen mums that are un- 

 usually fine. 



W. D. Macer keeps a good stock of 

 mums in his store and appears to have 

 an excellent business. 



Royston & Fenton are having a nice 

 cut of roses and smilax, for which the 

 demand is good. 



It seems that but little effort would 

 be needed to induce all the florists to 

 make an exhibit at the next fall festi- 

 val held on the west side. The busi- 

 ness men over there are a lively bunch 

 and would be glad to have such an 

 exhibit. Think it over. E. L. F.

The Market. 



Little can be said in praise of the 

 weather during the last week. With 

 rain and cloudy skies predominating, 

 there is little encouragement for the 

 florists. The early varieties of mums 

 have practically disappeared and such 



varieties as Bonnaffon, Eaton, Razer 

 and the like are coming into market in 

 great quantities. There is an oversup- 

 ply of nearly all kinds of mum.s. Car- 

 nations are seen only in small quanti- 

 ties and are of rather an inferior 



grade. 



The Flower Show. 



The principal topic of conversation 

 among the florists is the flower show, 

 which was held November 5 to 8, under 

 the auspices of the Visiting Nurses' 

 Association. As this was the first 

 flower show held in this city in many 

 years, the florists are to be commended 

 for the results which were obtained. 

 Exhibits were made by E. D. Smith & 

 Co., of Adrian, Mich.; A. N. Pierson, 

 Inc., of Cromwell, Conn.; C. H. Totty, 

 of Madison, N. J.; Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., of Philadelphia, and G. B. Hart, 

 of Rochester, in connection with the 

 local growers and dealers. 



The Baker Floral Co. showed one 

 dozen each of twenty-four varieties, in- 

 cluding Wm. Turner, Roman Gold, 

 Timothy Eaton, Bonnaffon, Mrs. Kelley, 

 Elise I'apworth, Pockett's Crimson, 



Black Hawk, Smith's Sensation and 

 Pink Gem. They also exhibited some 

 fine cyclamens in 5-inch to 8-inch jars. 

 Mr. Brown, the foreman for the com- 

 pany, reports that they are growing 

 26,000 mums in fifty-three varieties. 



Of the local dealers, P. R. Quinlan 

 made a large exhibit of plants, roses 

 and mums, showing some good Vallis, 

 Razer and Turner, together with sev- 

 eral vases of pompons. 



Peter Kay exhibited, in addition to 

 mums and potted plants, two excellent 

 vases of Carnation Gorgeous, which re- 

 ceived considerable notice. 



G. Bartholme showed a fine display 

 of mums and palms. 



The Pierce-Christian Co. exhibited 

 fine vases of exhibition blooms, consist- 

 ing of one dozen each of Turner, En- 

 guehard, Appleton and .Tosephine. 



Charles Bourne's display included 

 mums of fine grade, plants and several 

 baskets of pansies in bloom. 



Other local exhibitors included Ban- 

 nister Bros.. Chester A. Harris, L. J. 

 Mulhauser, the Fairmount Flower Shop 

 and Cannellos Bros., all of whom de- 

 serve credit for the display made and
