Business took on a very good aspect 

 last week and things began to move 

 along in a manner that was very grati- 

 fying. If this state of affairs continues 

 there will be no kick coming during this 

 season. 



The advent of the chrysanthemum was 

 doubtless in great part the cause of 

 the increase of trade. They are begin- 

 ning to arrive in goodly numbers and 

 they sold out fast, $3 per dozen being the 

 top price. It looks as if there will be 

 a large number of mums on the market 

 this year, but with a good demand they 

 ought to be disposed of to advantage. 



Roses continue about the same. The 

 demand is fair only and the price low 

 for the quality. Beauties sell well, 

 though, and the price is well held. Car- 

 nations are arriving in large quantities 

 and the price continues low. The very 

 best fancies bring $2 per hundred. All 

 colors are plentiful, save good red. 



Some very good lilies are coming in 

 now. Though we have had frosts, still 

 the outdoor stuff has not been damaged 

 to any great extent. Some very good 

 valley is being cut by George & Allan. 

 There has been a lively demand for all 

 kinds of green goods. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Society was held last Satur- 

 day evening. The committee on revision 

 of the constitution reported and the 

 changes they advised were adopted. It 

 was decided to hold our flower show as 

 usual. The first one, a chrysanthemum 

 show, is to be held on the second Satur- 

 day of November. The schedule has not 

 been approved as yet but will be about 

 the same as last year. The other shows 

 will be of roses in February and carna- 

 tions in March, to be held on our regu- 

 lar meeting dates. 



The committee appointed to arrange 

 for the shows consists of B. Witter- 

 staetter, Ben George and J. Chas. Mur- 

 phy. 



There were two good seedling chrysan- 

 themums before the local committee last 

 Saturday, from Nathan Smith & Son, 

 Adrian, Mich., one a medium dark pink, 

 the other cream white. Both were good 

 for so early. 



C. P. Dieterich & Bro., of Maysville, 

 Ky,, have completed a new carnation 

 house. The benches are constructed of 

 brick. So far the plants in this house 

 have been doing extra well. 



I regret to report the death of Her- 

 man G. Haerlin which occurred October 

 11. Mr. Haerlin was well known in 



trade circles in this city. He was 73 

 years old.

The Market 



In these days of ideal employers and 

 salesmen the weather has decided to take 

 a hand and the sunny south is not in it 

 with the sunny east. But, apart from 

 the dahlia growers, the language used to 

 designate the character of the weather is 

 anything but ideal. In fact, most of the 

 wholesalers use a word of only one syl- 

 lable to express their feelings and those 

 of them who pray, which, of course, in- 

 cludes the majority of them, are now 

 using their spare time supplicating the 

 manufacturer of the weather for a bitter 

 and a nipping, old-fashioned, far-reach- 

 ing frost and until their prayers are an- 

 swered there will be no market and no 

 business worthy of the name. 



Now that gladioli and asters are gone 

 and dahlias packing up for a long jour- 

 ney, the chrysanthemum is coming in a 

 steady and ever widening stream. Fully 

 two weeks ahead of any other season in 

 quantity, size and beauty, the inevitable 

 drop in values has already begun and on
