 row, 920 Broad street. 



John W. Blakely, of Elizabeth, has 

 been spending his vacation at West 

 Boothbay Harbor, Me. 



H. C. Strobell & Co. report business 

 ■quiet. They have some funeral work, 

 but little transient trade. A varie- 

 gated pineapple in their window at- 

 tracts the attention of the passersby. 



John F. Noll & Co., seedsmen, have 

 had a most beautiful display of gla- 

 dioli and water lilies. In the window 

 where the water lilies were displayed, 

 there were six pools of water, in each 

 of which was one variety. The plants 

 and flowers were not crowded, so that 

 it was possible to examine them thor- 

 oughly from the street, yet they were 

 ' sufficiently numerous to make a beau- 

 tiful picture. The pools of water were 

 separated so that each variety could 

 be seen by itself. In front of each pool 

 was a card telling what variety was 

 exhibited. R. B. M. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Business is quiet in general. There 

 is a little doing all the time to keep 

 flowers cleaned up. There is an over- 

 abundance of good gladioli, which sell 

 cheaply. Roses are plentiful, but there 

 is not much substance to them. Asters 

 are of first-class quality and there are 

 plenty of them. 



Various Notes. 



John Webb has left the employ of 

 Joseph Pierce and gone to work for 

 S. E. Shaw, the wholesale grower, on 

 Kempton street.

THE NEIDINGER OFTICERS. 



The incorporation of the Joseph G. 

 Neidinger Co. was reported in The Re- 

 view for August 12, with an account 

 of the start and rise of the business, 

 and readers will be interested in the 

 portraits of the men at the helm. They 

 are: 



Joseph G. Neidinger, president of 

 the company, a successful originator 

 and maker of florists' supplies, whose 

 ideas have proved a source of pleasure 

 and profit to florists all over the land. 



George S. Hampton, treasurer, whose 

 hustle and good-fellowship have done 

 much to popularize the products of his 

 company. 



Jack F. Neidinger, secretary, a young 

 man whose ability is used to push the 

 interests of his house with might and 

 main. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



The Market. 



The supply of roses is light, although 

 great enough to meet the demand. 

 There are plenty of asters of fair 

 quality. Gladioli, as usual, are a drug 

 on the market. There are plenty of 

 lilies for all requirements. 



Various Notes. 



John Coomb's new house, on South 

 street, is completed and planted. The 

 young stock is coming along finely. 



Robert Karlstrom reports that this 

 is the first time in fifteen years that 

 he has failed to attend the S. A, F. 

 convention. 



W. R. Pierson was taken ill with ap- 

 pendicitis while attending the conven- 

 tion, and had to undergo an operation 



at San Francisco. The operation was 

 successful and he is getting along sat- 

 isfactorily. R. C. S. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



Last week business reached the low 

 record for the summer. The supply of 

 stock was not heavy; consequently 

 there was not a large surplus. Asters 

 are of much better quality and a few 

 good ones bring fair prices, but short- 

 stemmed flowers bring poor returns. 

 Gladioli are still in fair supply, but 

 are moving slowly. Roses are only 

 fairly plentiful and few good ones are 

 seen. Lilies are in fair demand, but 

 Beauties are immovable at any price. 



Club Outing. 



The annual outing of the Florists' 

 Club was held at Miller's park, 

 Dundalk, August 18. The weather was 

 clear and cool. Though there was a 

 good crowd, it was not as large as at 

 some former outings, probably on ac- 

 count of the cool weather and the late- 

 ness of the season. Nevertheless, it 

 was a most enjoyable affair. 



A varied line of amusements was 

 provided. Dancing, bowling, fishing 

 and boating were indulged in. In the 

 afternoon the games were run off and 

 the day's sport wound up with a crab 

 feast, which all took part in. 



Following is a list of prize-winners in 

 the games: 



Pipe race for men — Win. J. Teiiie, first; H. 

 Seldllch, second. 



Peanut race for men — Herb. Wagner, first; Otto 

 Feidler, second.
