There are lots of culls and third-grade 

 blooms suitable for funeral work, but 

 first-class stock is scarce. Violets are be- 

 ginning to be called for and the price 

 has almost doubled. The singles are pre- 

 ferred here. Other stock is about as 

 last reported. 



Various Notes. 



AH plans are working smoothly for a 

 first-class flower show this year. These 

 shows, gfiven by the Florists' Society, 

 have always been very successful and this 

 year will be no exception. Many growers 

 have already signified their intention of 

 making exhibits. This is the very best 

 time for growers having new varieties to 

 send them in to be seen by the boys, as 

 there is always a large number of the 

 craft on hand, with many out of town 

 growers also. The date this year is Sat- 

 urday, November 12. Kindly send all 

 blooms prepaid to the Cincinnati Florists ' 

 Society, Jabez Elliott Flower Market, in 

 care of the superintendent, and they will 

 be properly staged and cared for. 



Chas. Pommert reports a very good 

 •crop of gold fish this year, very nicely 

 colored. He makes a specialty of them 

 and his farm at Amelia is well worth 

 a visit. He also raises "green goods" 

 of the best quality. 



From present indications there will be 

 from fifteen to twenty of the boys of this 

 city who will make the trip to Rich- 

 mond, Ind., Thursday. It will give them 

 a chance to see the chrysanthemum in all 

 its glory. 



E. G. Gillett was in Springfield Mon- 

 day, attending the funeral of his oldest 

 brother, who died Saturday after an ill- 

 ness extending over several years. 



Visitors were Miss White, Lexington, 

 Ky., and Fred Fulle, of Richmond. Ind.

The Market. 



The increasing output of chrysanthe- 

 mums has caused a general weakening in 

 prices the past week. Stock has cleared 

 •out well, however, very little being left 

 over any day, except short-stemmed roses 

 and low grade chrysanthemums. About 

 #3 per dozen has been the top price on 

 Beauties. Bride and Bridesmaid of best 

 <juality have averaged from $6 to $8, 

 vhile short-stemmed stock kept over

night in ice chests has gone at 50 cents 

 per hundred. Some very nice Bon 

 Silene are coming to the Park Street 

 Market, selling at 75 cents per bunch 

 of twenty-five. Some good Kaiserin and 

 Carnot still come in. Best carnations 

 have held at $3. All good stock has 

 brought $2, ordinary grades $1. Chrys- 

 anthemums are now very plentiful and 

 of unusually good quality. The top 

 price seems to have been $2 per dozen, 

 although $2.50 was obtained for some 

 select blooms. About $1.50 has been a 

 fair average price for nice flowers, while 

 the low grades have brought 35 cents 

 to 50 cents per dozen. So far there has 

 been no glut of these flowers, but some 

 congestion is likely in the next few 

 weeks. Single violets clear out well. 

 Those from Wm. Sim bring 75 cents 

 per hundred. Doubles continue small. 

 Some nice mignonette has appeared, as 

 well as a few Cypripedium insigne. 

 Asparagus and adiantum remain about 

 the same. 



Chrysanthemum Show Notes. 

 A joint conference of members of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club, Park 

 Street Flower Market and Horticultural 

 Club in regard to the entertainment of 

 visiting members of the C. S. A. was 



held on October 22. Arrangements are 

 progressing nicely. 



Advance entries indicate that the 

 coming show will be a first-class one. 

 Growers have been pleased with the re- 

 cent spell of clear Indian summer 

 weather. Some who neglected to use 

 shading lost a few blooms in this vicin- 

 ity.^ 



Visitors will have an opportunity to 

 witness a thorough demonstration of the 

 best methods of fighting the brown tail 

 and gypsy moths .-^t Arlington, on 

 November 5, at 2 o'clock, under the 

 auspices of the Maaslachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society. There will be a lec- 

 ture by Prof. A. H. Kirkland. Trained 

 foresters will be on hand to demonstrate 

 the most important methods of field 

 work, while Superintendent Pettlgrew, 

 of the Boston park system, will exhibit 

 what is probably the largest power 

 sprayer in the country. The making and 

 use of the lime and sulphur wash for 

 the San Jose scale will also be shown. 

 There will be a good opportunity to in- 

 spect some of the high-class vegetable 

 growing establishments in Arlington.
