Various Matters of Interest. 



Last week was the very reverse of 

 what the poets say we should expect in 

 this lovely month of October. It was 

 dark, gloomy, sloppy and chilly and 

 business was of the same complezioD. 

 But a great change has occurred and 

 business awoke with the bright min. Of 

 course, it is all mums, and welcome they 

 were. Kalb, Midge and Polly Rose give 

 us all the white we want and Halliday 

 and Omega are at their best. Glory of 

 Pacific has to do for pink, but there is 

 room for a good early bright pink. Speak- 

 ing of chrysanthemums, we called on 

 William Ehmann, of Corfu, a few days 

 ago and found he had 25,000 mums 

 looking very fine. All the leading com- 

 mercial varieties are represented. A fine 

 bed of Golden Wedding, free from mil- 

 dew and rust, promises great things. 

 Nothing like it, when it can bo grown 

 right. Harry Fishel, once a carnation 

 man, is so in love with chrysanthemums 

 that he has planted all four of his 

 houses with them and is going Into the 

 rooted cutting business. D. J. Scott 

 has a bench 7x125 entirely filled with 

 the newer varieties. He must have bis 

 eye on the Meldrum show, and from 

 stoutness of stem and size and substance 

 of foliage there are ^ely to be some 

 large flowers. Charles rhelps has rented 

 the houses of Mrs. Tyrrell lately va- 

 cated by Lerov Adams. 



Last week we lost one of our oldest 

 florists, James Milley, of Masten street. 

 Mr. Milley was 70 years of age. Bom 

 in England, he came to this country 

 forty-two years ago. For some years 

 he had charge of the beautiful grounds, 

 greenhouses and graperies of Myron P. 

 Bush on our glorious Delaware avenue. 

 This place was for years famous for the 

 superb order in wluch Mr. Milley kept

both grounds and houses, but this model 

 place, like so many established in Buf- 

 falo's early days, has passed away. 

 Twenty-five years ago Mr. Milley bought 

 vacant property on Masten street and 

 erected five substantial houses, which, 

 with the assistance of his sons, Wm. B. 

 and John Milley, have been devoted to 

 cut flowers in winter and market plants 

 in spring. John Milley is at present 

 with S. N. Pentecost, of Cleveland. One 

 by one the old landmarks pass away, as 

 it was in the beginning and ever shall 

 be. 



For several weeks I have quite for- 

 gotten to mention that on September 

 28 there entered into holy matrimony 

 David J. Scott and Edith Brown. As 

 the writer was present, I heard them 

 promise each other all sorts of things 

 and I really believe they will be kept 

 better than the average. The chief 

 mourners present were the parents and 

 grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts and 

 cousins of the martyrs. A carriage ride 

 of eleven miles on a dark road was un- 

 dertaken to escape rice and hideous 

 noise from the village youth, and now 

 all is peace and bliss, and may it ever 

 remain so. 'W. S. 



DES MOINES, L\. 



There has been very little glass added 

 this season. Most of the growers are 

 only repairing what they have. J. , F. 

 Marshall has torn down one house and 

 replaced it with a larger and more sub- 

 stantial one, using Garland gutters and 

 iron posts. His carnations are in extra 

 fine shape. 



Peter Lambert left on October 18 for 

 St. Louis and the World's Fair, and 

 from there goes to Germany with his 

 youngest son, Frank, who is to remain 

 two or three years to finish his educa- 

 tion in the old world. The elder Lam- 

 bert will visit his brother and return 

 in a couple 6f 'months. 



The parks are looking fine in their au- 

 tumn attire. The hard maple is the 

 finest coloring we ever saw. A new 

 greenhouse is being built at Union park, 

 thus giving them more room to grow for 

 the entire park system of the city. 



Mums are in, but of poor quality, be- 

 ing cut before they are ripe. 



There is some talk of organising a 

 bowling team and practicing tnis winter, 

 but as yet we are not in shapo to report 

 our score. J, p. D. F.
