The Market 



Business during the past week was good 

 in spots only. Mums are fast becoming 

 the flower of the day. Thej are coming 

 by the hundreds, but as yet there are no 

 fancy ones and $2 per dozen is the top 

 price. The varieties to bring this price 

 were Estelle, which is very fine this 

 year, and Omega, a first-class yellow, 

 which holds up well and appears to be 

 a very good sort for early. There are 

 hundreds of Bergmann at $6 to $12.50 per 

 100. The coming week will see mums 

 in great abundance and from present 

 prospects there will be a very good mar- 

 ket tor them. 



Carnations are just a trifle more plen- 

 tiful and quality is good; $3 is obtained 

 for the best, with $1 the lowest figure. 

 Beauties are scarce. This is especially 

 true of long-stemmed ones. Some very 

 good Kaiserin are seen and a few first- 

 data Brides and Maids, but outside of 

 that the majority of the stock is medium 

 and short-stemmed. Outdoor stock is 

 about over. Lilies and valley are not 

 very plentiful and sell well. Violets can 

 be had at your own figures. 



Club Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Society was held Saturday evening and, 

 while the attendance was not larg^, a 

 very pleasant time was passed. The 

 principal business was the adoption of 

 a schedule for our flower shows. The 

 first one will be a chrysanthemum show 

 in the club rooms on Saturday afternoon 

 and evening, November 12. Prizes are 

 offered as follows: Best vase white 

 mums, twelve blooms to vase, first, .$6; 

 second, $4; third, $3. Pink and yellow, 

 same, each. Best vase twenty-five Bon- 

 naff on, first, $10; second, $8; third, $6. 

 Best general display, $10. Our mum 

 shows in the past have always been very 

 successful and a fine exhibition is looked 

 forward to. All florists and private gar- 

 deners are invited to take part. All per- 

 sons not members of the society or sub- 

 scribers to the exhibition fund must pay 

 $1 at each show for privilege of entry 

 for prizes. 



An invitation was read from the E. G. 

 HiJl Co., of Richmond, Ind., for the flor- 

 ists of this city to visit that firm 's large 

 plant the latter part of this month. It 

 was accepted with thanks and a commit- 

 tee consisting of J. W. Rodgers and C. 

 J. Ohmer was appointed to look after 

 the details. The date of the trip will 

 be announced next week. 



Variotis Notes. 



E. G. Hill was in the city Saturday 

 and brought with him some blooms of 

 his new white early mum, Clementine 

 Touset, to be passed upon by the Chrys- 

 anthemum Society committee of this city. 

 The variety was a great surprise to all 

 who saw it, being so far ahead of all 

 other early varieties we have ever seen. 

 It might be described as an early Chad- 

 wick, as it greatly resembles this vari- 

 ety. The color is white with a faint 

 cream tint in the center till fully devel- 

 oped. It ranks in size with the largest, 

 and form, foliage and stem are first- 

 class. Altogether it will make a com- 

 mercial variety of the first order. Mr. 

 Hill said it was a medium grower, very 

 easily managed and was ready to cut 

 from October 8 to 12. 



George Murphy has just completed a 

 new set of piping for his greenhouses. 

 He wants to be sure of the required tem- 

 perature during the coming winter. He 

 has a large bench of Estelle mums which 

 will be ready to cut soon. There are 

 five to seven blooms to a plant and are 

 V fine sight, as they made a very even 

 growth. 



Fred Gear had the Smith-Kasson open- 

 ing, supplying over 10,000 roses, besides 

 many plants. 



W. K. Partridge opened his Fourth 

 street store Saturday. An orchestra en- 

 tertained the large crowd and the ladies 

 received floral souvenirs. The store is 

 modern in every detail and was beauti- 

 fully decorated for the opening. The 

 large show windows offered a liberal 

 opportunity for tasty dressing, which 

 was taken advantage of. Mr. Partridge 

 deserves the best of success for his en- 

 terprise and has the good wishes of the 

 trade.
