the fishing season to: tfy their luck at 

 Daffodil. Ttey hare not as yet reported 

 bow many they caught. 



Mr. McGregor, of McGregor Bros., 

 Springfield, Ohio, was a caller the past 

 week. 



The Florists' Bowling League opened 

 the season on last Monday week. "With 

 four full teams in attendance there was 

 much enthusiasm and rivalry between 

 the teams. Emil Glauber, of Team No. 

 2, rolling in great form, was high, with 

 564, followed by Eobert Kurth, with 549.

The Market. 



There has been some complaint that 

 trade has not been all that it should 

 have been the past week, but at last we 

 have had the killing frost which has 



gut most of the outdoor flowers to the 

 ad, and that will help some. Beauties, 

 lilies, chrysanthemums, cosmos, gladioli 

 and dahlias hav« been an awful glut the 

 past week. Good carnations have been 

 good sale, but the poorer ones would not 

 «nov€. 



Various Notes. 



Warrick Bros., of Washington, Pa., 

 sent the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., a 

 consignment of the finest mums seen this 

 year. To call attention to their quality 

 the grower tied a small piece of red 

 ribbon to each flower and they were of- 

 fered as red ribbon stock. 



Miss Clara B. Forbes, of the Wheeling 

 Greenhouse Co., Wheeling, W. Va., was 

 in the city Saturday, and when we are 

 talking about the enthusiastic, energetic 

 and up-to-date people in this business we 

 must always include Miss Forbes. 



Arthur Langhans, of Wheeling, W. 

 Va., was also visiting relatives here last 

 week. 



Judge and Mrs. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., visited Pittsburg and called on the 

 various wholesalers to see what the trade 

 were doing. Mrs. Vesey claims the flower 

 growing establishment, but the judge is 

 right up-to-date in everything pertaining 

 to the business. Again we would remark 

 that the women in our craft are all much 

 above the average in intelligence, energy 

 and business ability, and to meet them 

 is inspiring. 



J. W. Elliott, president of the Elliott 



Nursery Co., gave the writer a spin one 

 day last week in his new auto car, and 

 while we passed most of the fine east end 

 places, one cannot tell much about them; 

 we were too busy holding on our hair. 

 I can recommend this style auto if you 

 have the price; I am not buying this 

 season myself. 



A. M. Murdoch, who has been on an 

 extended trip, taking his vacation in the 

 late summer, is again at his place of 

 business. 



Last Sunday the B. E. & P. ran what 

 they advertised as a chrysanthemum ex- 

 cursion. Tickets were sold from Mt. 

 Jewett, Clearfield and intermediate points 

 at exceptionally low rates. This is the 

 first of many excursions that will run 

 into Pittsburg on the several railroads 

 to see the Schenley park display of 

 mums. Supt. Geo. Burke, and Foreman 

 John Jones will not disappoint them, 

 as the show will be well worth the trip. 



Frank Faulk and T. P. Langhans 

 spent one day last week in the woods. 

 It would have been a sjid day for the 

 birds if it hadn't rained. 



In a letter from Los Angeles, Cal., our 

 old friend B. L. Elliott says the climate 

 is great, but California is not Pittsburg 

 by a great sight. Hoo-Hoo. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



Business has been rather dull, with a 

 little spurt toward the end of last week. 

 Chrysanthemums are not selling very 

 readily. Good roses are scarce, especially 

 pink. 



Qub Meeting. 



A very well attended meeting of the 

 Detroit Florists' Club was held Wednes- 

 day, October 18. Thanks to Aug. Von 

 Boeselager, the cigars were again passed 

 around, a young florist being the reason. 

 This seems to be a regular feature at the 

 club meetings lately. Who's next? 



The question box brought out a num- 

 ber of interesting discussions. "Is it 

 advisable to solicit orders by postal 

 cards, from funeral houses t" was very 

 openly debated, with the result that most 

 of the members thought it not only a 

 very improper practice, but one that
