OwENSBORO, Ky. — Thomas C. Milne 

 took all of the first prizes for cut flow- 

 era in the professional classes at the 

 flower show held here last week. The 

 judge was W. E. Conover, of Henderson. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS, 



Business here has been a little quiet 

 but everybody is looking for better trade 

 now that election is over. Flowers of 

 all kinds are very plentiful, so much so 

 that some of the florists are having bar- 

 gain sales. One florist had a large ad- 

 vertisement in the daily papers, "$10 

 pillows for $5, $8 pillows for $4, pinks 

 35 cents per dozen, all other designs at 

 half price." Another one advertised 

 chrysanthemums at 75 cents per dozen 

 and invites the public to see them picked 

 right fresh from the plants. This is 

 the most prosperous town for flower 



stores in the state. One of the local 

 storemen is talking of starting a lunch- 

 room or cigar store in his present loca- 

 tion. Still another is thinking of apply- 

 ing for a liquor license. 



S. S. Peckham has opened another city 

 salesroom and is making a fine show of 

 mums. He is not only supplying his 

 own trade but is also shipping a num- 

 ber of chrysanthemums out of town. 



W. G. Kroeber, it is said, is soon to 

 open a store on Union street, next door 

 east to Sheedy's Theatre. 



H. V. Showle reports Dusiness as quiet 

 in his section of the city. 



Arthur Ashley is bringing in some fine 

 pinks and intends to soon build another 

 house for pinks and one for violets, 



W. E. Mosher has started to stake out 

 for a new greenhouse. 



W. L. G. Brown has the sides all in 

 for a new house 25x100 to be used for 

 roses. 



B. E. Nofftz, the ivy leaf king, has 

 just finished a new house to be used for 

 the storage of his hardy stuff that he in- 

 tends to force. Dick reports large sales 

 of ivy leaves. He says he is shipping 

 lots of them out of town. 



We hear that E. H. Chamberlain is 

 having a new delivery wagon built that 

 is going to be a winner. "We'll all be 

 there at the christening of the new 

 turnout. 



The greenhouse of H. H. Rogers, in 

 Fairhaven, has been open to the public 

 this week and they say that Mr. Garthley 

 is showing some very fine chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



We have not yet been able to get a 

 quorum at the recent Florists' Club 

 meetings, but are in hopes to at the 

 next meeting. It seems to be hard to 

 get the local florists away from their 

 own firesides unless there is a supper. 



C. 



TORONTO. 



Trade during the last week has picked 

 up considerably and cut flowers are 

 shortening in supply, with an increased 

 demand, while we notice the wholesale 

 price is gradually advancing; especially 

 do we notice this in roses. Muma and 

 carnations continue to be fairly plen- 

 tiful, with demand and supply about 

 equal. Violets are scarce. 



Much interest is being taken in the 

 coming flower show and all of our grow- 

 ers are holding their best stock for it. 

 We expect a big exhibition, as the sec- 

 retary informs us that nearly all the 

 classes are well filled up and some of 

 the exhibits will be decidedly interest- 

 ing. Many out-of-town growers have 

 made their entries and we are assured 

 of several exhibits from our American 

 cousins. D. J. 



Hartford, Conn. — E. M. Francis has 

 closed his greenhouse and is going south 

 for the winter. 



OwATONNA, Minn. — The Clinton Falls 

 Nursery & Greenhouse Co. 's new estab- 

 lishment is a model in every way. The 

 h(iuses contain tile benches throughout, 

 with boiler shed separated from main 

 house. The same is heated by high pres- 

 sure eighty-five horse-power boilers of the 

 latest type. The houses are lit with elec- 

 tric light. They grow a large variety of 

 stock. Their roses and carnations are 

 in excellent condition at present. They 

 control 30,000 feet of glass. The houses 

 are in charge of Paul Horn. Thos, Cash- 

 man is president of the company. They 

 report an excellent trade and good ship- 

 ping facilities to the surrounding towns.
