Schloss Bros., the ribbon house, were 

 losers by the McDonald failure to the 

 amount of nearJy $700. The total lia- 

 bilities were over $6,200. The only as- 

 sets were a horse, two wagons and a few 

 accounts, the whole aggregating less than 

 $500. 



The October meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club takes place next Monday, 

 October 9, at the rooms in the Grand 

 opera house building, on Twenty-third 

 street. The display of mums and dahlias 

 is expected to be a creditable one. Bulb- 

 ous stock will be exhibited and all are 

 cordially invited to send any novelties 

 in care of Secretary Young, who will see 

 that they are properly staged and cared 

 for. The nominating committee will 

 make its report. The question box will 

 be opened, and Patrick O'Mara will dis- 

 course upon his experience in the west 

 this summer, a program that should en- 

 sure a large attendance. 



The captain of last season's bowling 

 club requests all interested in the for- 

 mation of a new club to meet him at 

 Thum's alleys on Monday afternoon at 

 3 o'clock. A few hours' practice will 

 be enjoyed and all visiting members 

 from out of town are cordially invited 

 to attend. 



A great deal of work has been done 

 by the retailers lately on account of the 

 opening of the theatres. The Thos. 

 Young Co. was busy until late Monday 

 evening with orchid and Beauty bouquets 

 for Lillian Bussell that must have cost 

 some broker several shares of Standard 

 Oil stock, and these were only a counter- 

 part of the orders all the big retail 

 stores have been filling during the past 

 ten days. 



The plant business is booming. Many 

 of the wholesale houses now handle 

 palms and ferns and some fine Scottii 

 and Boston ferns are seen. 



Hicks & Crawbuck, of Brooklyn, have 

 moved into their new quarters at 76 

 Court street, where they have over 6,000 

 square feet of space and every facility 

 for a larger business. 



Frank Millang has recovered from an 

 illness of several days' duration that at 

 one time threatened appendicitis. 



J. K. Allen has been laid on the shelf 

 a few days with a severe cold, but is 

 again on duty at 6 a. m. 



William Ghormley, who has been quite 

 ill, is improving and is looked lor at his 

 headquarters daily. 



Walter Sheridan and family, who have 

 been sojourning at Sea Girt during the 

 summer, return this week to their city 

 home. 



Siebrecht's white palace is finely 

 stocked and handsomely decorated for 

 the coming season. An abundance of 

 cattleyas from their own conservatories, 

 arranged as a gigantic floral arch, made 

 an effective window. 



The return of many of the Newport 

 forces to their New York headquarters 

 indicate the close of the season in the 

 city by the sea. 



Those who journey past Fifth avenue 

 on Thirty-fourth street will see the most 

 novel effect New York has ever beheld 

 in store decoration. Outside and in the 

 Eosary has used birch bark without stint 

 and with rare detail and harmony, so 

 that every bit of woodwork, wall and 

 ceiling, is covered with it. The general 

 effect is charming. J, Austin Shaw. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



Conditions continue satisfactory in the 

 flower market and will probably remain 

 so until the coming avalanche of chrys- 

 anthemums disorganizes it. Boses have 

 commanded rather higher prices, some 

 extra fine Bridesmaid and Kaiserin mak- 

 ing up to $10 per hundred. Liberty is 

 selling well at somewhat advanced prices. 

 Beauties are improving in quality, price 

 on these remaining about the same. Car- 

 nations come in increasing numbers, but 

 all clear out easily, rates varying from 

 $1.50 to $4, only a small number going 

 at the two extreme rates. 



A fair number of single violets are 

 seen, but they are not in much demand 

 yet, about 50 cents per hundred securing 

 the best. Some good Marquis de Mont- 

 mort chrysanthemums have brought $3 

 per dozen, Fitzwygrams going at $10 

 to $15 per hundred. Glory of Pacific 

 and Polly Rose are nearly ready to cut 



with some growers and Bergmann will 

 appear this week. Some asters still come 

 in, but gladioli and other outdoor flow- 

 ers arc about over. Valley remains 

 about the same, as does the usual run of 

 grooii stock. 



I Various Notes. 



I Killing frosts occurred on September 

 27 over u large portion of Massachusetts. 



j Dahlias except in sheltered locations 



! were ilostroyed. 



W(! hoar mixed reports of Carnation 

 FianctH'. Some growers state that it is 



: <loing finely, others that it is full of 



! bacteria. 



i Tbe committee having in hand the 



j preparation of the complete schedule of 

 prizes to be given by the Massachusetts 



1 Horticultural Society for 1906 has made 



j considerable change in the same. Col- 

 lections of fruit will be quite a feature,. 



I and vegetables are better provided for. 

 The club meeting on October 17 prom- 

 ises to be unusually interesting and a 

 record-breaking attendance is expected. 

 •T. A. Pettigrew's account of his visit to 

 Kngland, Scotland, France, etc., should 

 prove very interesting. Additional ap- 

 plications for membership are already 

 coming in. 



Peter Murray's new carnation, Win- 

 sor, recently purchased by the F. R. Pier- 

 sou Co., is doing better than ever at his 

 greenhouses in Fairhaven and should 

 rank liigh among the novelties at the 

 carnation convention in January. 



Dr. J. F. Shafer, of Pittsburg, Pa., 

 was among our visitors the past week. 



Tlie other commission dealers in the 

 city will occupy stalls at the Music Hall 

 niaikot as well as Welch Bros.

HARTFORD, CONN. 



The regular meetings of the Hartford 

 Florists' Club were resumed on Septem- 

 ber 29, with a creditable attendance of 

 members. President Huss gave a highly 

 interesting account of his two months'' 

 sojourn in France, Switzerland and Italy. 

 His description of the Alpine flora at 

 various altitudes was especially appre- 

 ciated and he was awarded a hearty vote 

 of thanks. ■ Treasurer Scrivener and Sec- 

 retary Ruedlinger submitted their eemi-
