A. L. RSNDALL CO., chicsgo, ill. 



address, with certain cabalistic marks in- 

 dicative of the blood 's color, so to speak, 

 each in its own place. 



The Ericsson pumps were working 

 steadily away in a long shed, a shed that 

 was so fresh after its i-ummer furbishing 

 that it reminded David of his nice work- 

 room at home, while Jonathan wished his 

 shed were like it and vowed that it should 

 be soon. The propagating was under 

 way, Mr. Parker headir^g a force of men 

 who were taking and making rose cut- 

 tings. Hybrid sorts are not much fa- 

 vored at this season, the bulk of the 

 stock now going into the sand being of 

 tea blood, more or less. 



The catalogue was referred to and 

 from its pages was gleaned the fact that 

 the Baby Bambler has the place of honor, 

 while to Maman Cochet in four separate 

 colors was accorded the distinction of a 

 fine plate for the best outdoor rose. 

 Queen of Edgely is largely disseminated 

 at a price a little higher than that asked 

 for American Beauty, a fact which will 

 certainly please Harry C. Geiger should 

 he chance to read those notes. Mr. 

 Parker said that they desired to have 

 350,000 young roses rooted before New 

 Year's. A part of these were already in 

 small pots. More were in the sand out- 

 side. The wood then under the knife 

 was going into the benches under glass. 

 The general health of the plants was ex- 

 cellent. Chrysanthemums, geraniums 

 and a general assortment of soft-wooded 

 plants and shrubbery made up the assort- 

 ment. 



Time to go came all too socn. Cheered 

 by a hearty handshake- from the vice- 

 president and from Mr. Courtney, the 

 visitors, reinforced by Mr. Parker, pro- 

 ceeded on their journey.

Various Notes. 



The October meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held on Tuesday evening. The 

 officers elected for the ensuing year 

 were: President, Thomas B. Meehan; 

 vice-president, Fred Hahman; secretary, 

 Edwin Lonsdale; treasurer, J. William 

 Colflesh. A strong combination. 



William Berger, of Germantown, had 

 the decorations for the launching of the 

 Mississippi last Saturday. The banquet 

 hall wag decorated with choice pAlms. 

 Beauties and dahlias were largely used 

 on the tables. 



William J. Moore is selling dahlias by 

 the thousands. He reports the demand 

 is for the best varieties. The Millbrook 

 Iiea Greenhouses are beginning to send 

 him some of their fine carnations. 



Phil was shown exceedingly nice car- 



nations this week at W. J. Baker's, E. 

 Bernheimer's and the Philadelphia Cut 

 Flower Co., the best varieties being En- 

 chantress, Queen and Fair Maid. 



W. E. McKissick reports a good de- 

 mand for wild smilax. 



Edward Eeid had the first yellow 

 chrysanthemums of the season on Mon- 

 day. 



T. A. Smith, of the H. F. Michcll Co., 

 says the first shipment of Japanese long- 

 iflorums are in and out. 



Oyster Bay claims two of our most 

 strenuous workers, James T. Clark and 

 Theodore Roosevelt. 



Myers & Samtman are sending many 

 of their celebrated Beauties to Pitts- 

 burg. 



"The Ideal Salesman" has proved an 

 unexpected success. The judge will have 

 a lively time. 



The Leo N lessen Co. has a remarkably 

 strong list of growers of what may be 

 termed the staple flowers. In many cases 

 these growers are virtually specialists, 

 with large areas of glass, a sign of high 

 quality and quantity. 



William Swayne, of Kennett Square, 

 sent his first chrysanthemums, Mrs. 

 George Kalb, to W. J. Baker on Monday. 



Dumont & Co. have put the finishing 

 touches on their improvements, a pair of 

 evergreens at the door. Their place is 

 very attractive. 



Eugene Bernheimer is having a good 

 sale for autumn foliage. Pnii,. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The close of the month finds the mar- 

 ket in fair condition, but business is still 

 a little irregular. Eoses arc more plen- 

 tiful and demand is a little lighter than 

 last week. Carnations were never of better 

 quality for so early in the season and 

 demand continues very satisfactory. Now 

 that asters are over, dahlias have a 

 better show and are moving very well, 

 but do not command a very high price; 

 50 cents to $1 per hundred buys the best. 

 Some shipments of chrysanthemums have 

 been received, but not of very good 

 quality, the price being $1.50 per dozen. 

 "Green goods" are not over plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Mack Richmond is again back in his 

 old position with the Halliday Bros., with 

 whom he had been for many years, after 

 being with the Department of Agricul- 

 ture at Washington for a year.

shown in bowling by the local Florists' 

 Club and very sociable evenings have been 

 spent and some good bowling done. The 

 Washington and Baltimore bowlers had a 

 match at the new Monackers bowling al- 

 leys on Saturday, September 30, the 

 Washington winning two out of three 

 games. Befreshments were served and 

 the place was tastefully decorated with 

 palms and cut flowers for the occasion. 



J. P. King, of Mt. Airy, has completed 

 another fine house for carnations. 



Thomas Vincent has reopened his 

 North Charles street store, which has 

 been closed for the summer. 



The windows of our large department 

 stores are making a very handsome dis- 

 play with artificial autumn foliage and 

 also some very fine arrangements in arti- 

 ficial flowers. 



On September 29 fire originating next 

 door was communicated to E. L. Gra- 

 ham 's flower store at 622 Aisquith street, 

 which was completely destroyed, inflict- 

 ing a loss of several hundred dollars 

 upon Mr. Graham. 



A question asked by one of the negro 

 customers at one of our busy florists' 

 was: "How many American Beauty 

 roses can you got for 5 cents!" A. F.
