foot- houses and with two older houses 

 plfcnted them all to carnations. He has 

 over 40,000 plants and, although the 

 stock was planted late, it is coining along 

 in fine shape. The cut will go to the 

 Holton & Hunkel Co., at Milwaukee. The 

 Milwaukee market is securing a consid- 

 erable part of the Rogers Park cut this 

 year. 



Ziska has bought out the wire-work 

 firm which was located in the Growers' 

 Market. 



The Florists' Club will meet tonight. 

 The principal order of business is the 

 nomination of new officers and the dis- 

 cussion of various plans for club activity 

 this winter. Everyone seems to favor 

 the change to one meeting a month. 

 Music and refreshments are on the pro- 

 gram for tonight. 



The Geo. M. Garland Co. has contracts 

 for 15,000 feet of iron gutters for early 

 spring delivery. From contracts already 

 closed and from inquiries received, Mr. 

 Garland says the indications are that 

 there will be more building by the large 

 growers the coming season than ever be- 

 fore. There will be much rebuilding, 

 besides a number of new ranges. Both 

 J. A. Budlong and Peter Eeinberg have 

 announced that they will rebuild all their 

 houses not now equipped with iron gut- 

 ters. 



This spring the south park commis- 

 sioners raised a storm of protest by 

 opening the parks to athletic contests on 

 Sunday, and now they have brought upon 

 themselves another deluge of protests 

 through the announcement in the daily 

 papers that they are about to erect iron 

 fences entirely around Washington and 

 Jackson parks. 



Frank S. Howard, head gardener for 

 Mrs. Geo. M. Pullman, is laid up with 

 an attack of rheumatism. 



E. C. Amling is receiving some very 

 fine Monrovia chrysanthemums. 



Friedman had the decoration at Car- 

 son Pirie's this week. He used 500 

 strings of asparagus and considerable 

 quantities of cut flowers. Next week 

 there will be several other important de- 

 partment store decorations. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. have built a new 

 ice-box for ferns and galax. They had 

 the first yellow mums on September 23, 

 very good in quality. 



C. L. Washburn has been figuring on 

 the amount of new glass producing for 

 this market this season. He estimates 

 the increase at something over a million 

 square feet, four of the local establish- 

 ments providing over half a million feet. 



Vaughan & Sperry have advices to the 

 eflFect that beginning October 1 they will 

 have large receipts of violets from the 

 same growers who sent them so many 

 first-class sweet peas this spring. 



Mary Lewis, formerly with F. C. 

 Smith, at Ashland, Wis., is now in Bas- 

 set & Washburn 's city office. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. have repainted 

 and redecorated the city salesroom this 

 week, to have it in the best of shape for 

 the season's rush. 



L. Koropp, of the Sheridan Park 

 Floral Co., used several wagon-loads of 

 palms and ferns and a considerable quan- 

 tity of asparagus in a Siegel Cooper dec- 

 oration on Tuesday. 



Visitors, 



There have been many visitors in town 

 the past week, among them: L. M. Noe, 

 of Madison, N. J., who will spend a 

 couple of weeks with D. Wood Brant, at 

 Forest Glen; Wm. Hy. Evans, of Colo-

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market 



The tone of business has slightly im- 

 proved, the receipts continuing larger as 

 the season advances, while the demand 

 improves though not suflBciently to create 

 much life. Showier outdoor flowers con- 

 tinue most popular, dahlias leading. The 

 first chrysanthemums have made their 

 appearance, but are not as yet suffi- 

 ciently plentiful to become a factor. Vio- 

 lets are also coming into town, chiefly 

 single varieties, but as yet there is not 

 much demand. The department store 

 decorations described last week have 

 been continued this week in other de- 

 partments of the same stores, using 

 quantities of outdoor material. Wild 

 smilax has also been used freely. Asters 

 are declining, purple being almost out 

 of market. Fortunately carnations are 

 becoming much more plentiful; though 

 still short of stem, they are of better 

 quality. There are few good orchids and 

 some gardenias, while lily of the valley 

 is rather scarce. 



The Liberty Rose. 



H. B. Howard, when in this city last 

 month, spoke with Wm. J. Muth of the 

 fame of the Liberty roses grown near 



Philadelphia, saying that they were 

 known and appreciated in the west. The 

 cut this season promises to equal, 

 if not excel, that of last year. Leav- 

 ing out of consideration A. Farenwald, 

 the pioneer Liberty grower, as his cut 

 will probably go to New York, John 

 Burton has a number of houses planted 

 with Liberty which those who have seen 

 them tell me are finer than ever before. 

 Edward Towill will send S. S. Pennock 

 Liberties from his whole short-span 

 range, besides from two or three other 

 houses. Joseph Beavis & Son will send 

 the Leo Niessen Co. Liberties irom two 

 large houses, while J. Stevenson, of Oak 

 Lane, will send the same company 

 Liberties from nearly his entire place. 

 Alfred Burton will send the Flower Mar- 

 ket Liberties from one-third of his new 

 place just completed. Robert Scott & Son 

 will send to E. Reid and S. S. Pennock 

 Liberties from" several houses. Joseph 

 Heacock, John C. Andrea, Myers & 

 Samtman, F. & H. Mergenthaler and 

 other growers have more or less of this 

 great rose, which seems to assure a plen- 

 tiful supply during the coming season. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. P. Craig's many friends will be 

 interested to know that he expects to 

 desert the bachelors and join the rank9 

 of the benedicts next Wednesday. 



Wm. Thompson has accepted a posi- 

 tion in the Finley- Acker Co. 's flower 

 store. 



D. T. Connor has had a great week 

 marketing boilers, placing no less than 

 seven. One, a very large Burnham sec- 

 tional boiler, goes to the Dingee & Con- 

 ard Co., West Grove, Pa. 



Wm. J. Muth, the genial manager of 

 the Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., has re- 

 turned to his post after a week's ill- 

 ness. 



The Rutledge Nursery Co. continues 

 sending early white chrysanthemums to 

 Edward Reid. 



Cosmos in three colors is now fine. E. 

 Bernheimer shows a nice line of these 

 flowers.
