The Iilarket. 



The week has been unusually warm 

 and fair for the season, there being no 

 approach to frost at any time. Every- 

 thing has come forward faster than was 

 desired, and there has been an abund- 

 ance of everything seasonable. Of 

 course chrysanthemums continue to be 

 the big feature and there is a larger 

 supply of these than there is demand, 

 but roses and carnations are not far 

 behind. What we need is something to 

 clean up the surplus. The demand is 

 better than it was a few weeks ago and 

 even better than it was a week ago, but 

 it is not nearly so good as it was a 

 year ago. This, together with a supply 

 that is greater than ever before, means 

 plenty to go to the dump. But still no 

 one is complaining, for everything is 

 bringing fair prices. 



Various Notes. 



The Art Association gave an exhibit 

 last week in the Carnegie Library 

 building, and several florists donated 

 exhibits of plants and cut flowers. As 

 their names appeared on the exhibits, 

 they benefited somewhat by the show, 

 though the visitors were left to be their 

 own judges of quality. This leads to 

 the query, why not have a flower show 

 in Nashvillet There are several sea- 

 sons of the year when such an event 

 could be held and it would be well 

 patronized, besides being a good way 

 to educate the public to buy flowers. 



The Nashville Manufacturers' Asso- 

 ciation is holding a special exhibition 

 of things made in Nashville this week, 

 •and some of the florists are taking ad- 

 vantage of the occasion to get some ad- 

 vertising by putting up exhibits. 



Goldenrod, wild asters and rud- 

 beckias in several varieties were most 

 abundant this season, and, as they were 

 somewhat of ST novelty, they were used 

 in decorations to a considerable extent 

 where florists' flowers would otherwise 

 have been used. This may in part ac- 

 count for the decrease in the demand. 



Mclntyre Bros, have a nice display 

 of mums in their new place this week. 

 Of course the old place is full of plants 

 and cut flowers as well. 



At the Hillcrest School Farm bulbs 

 are being dug. Tuberoses and ismene 

 have done well, but nothing else has 

 amounted to much this season. 



All hands are busy in the city parks 

 getting in bedding stock and putting 

 things in shape for the winter. A great 



deal of tree surgery is being done this' 

 fall. 



. Haury & Sons have their wagon on 

 the street at present selling pot plants 

 of various kinds. Their store is well 

 stocked with the best line I have ever 

 seen at their place. 



The Joy Floral Co. is keeping up the 

 exhibit of "fifty-seven varieties," and 

 it attracted favorable comment from 

 the daily press a few days ago. The 

 company exhibited a vase of twenty- 

 five as fine white chrysanthemums at 

 the Art Association exhibit as one often 

 sees. 



Pot mums continue to be the feature 

 at the store of Geny Bros., but their cut 

 stock is better than usual, also. 



F. B. 



Salina, Kan. — Edward Tatro's green- 

 houses and boiler shed are now all com- 

 pleted. Stock in the former is growing 

 well, and everything in the latter is 

 ready for the fires to start.
