to an attack of rheumatism. His place 

 will be diflScult to fill, for his long serv- 

 ice with the market has given him knowl- 

 edge which it will take a newcomer a 

 long time to acquire. 



A change in managers has also taken 

 place at the Music Hall market. James 

 Rough now finds that his services are 

 needed all the time at his Huntington 

 avenue store and has resigned. His place 

 is taken by James F. Knight, of Dor- 

 chester, who is a good practical florist 

 and who will give his full time to the 

 market. 



N. F. McCarthy & Co. had an order 

 for 70,000 violets one day the past week. 

 Violets promise to sell unusually well 

 here this winter. 



Mann Bros., of Eandolph, are bring-

 Romans to the Park street market, as 

 are Tailby & Son at the new market. 



Arrangements are being made for 

 joint committees from the Gardeners'

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market 



Austin, Tex. — Carnival week saw a 

 very successful chrysanthemum show for 

 Faith- Home and a floral parade for au- 

 tomobiles and other vehicles. 



The situation has slightly improved, 

 chrysanthemums being less plentiful. The 

 market is not quite so badly overloaded. 

 The supply of nearly all flowers is, how- 

 ever, a little ahead of the demand, with 

 prices steady, except on violets. Violets 

 seem scarce. Frequently there are not 

 enough to fill the orders, especially of 

 the high grades. The differences in 

 grades in this flower are very marked, 

 the fancy stock bringing top prices far 

 more readily than ordinary stock brings 

 the lowest figure on the price list. The 

 novelties in the market this week are the 

 white lipped cypripedium, Leeanum, pink 

 and white sweet peas at S. S. Pennock's 

 and a scarlet seedling carnation which 

 W. & Harry F. Evans are sending the 

 Leo Niessen Co. In chrysanthemums, 

 there is a pink Chadwick sent this week 

 by E. A. Stroud to S. S. Pennock. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are more plentiful, of fine 

 quality and averaging a little lower in 

 price. Tea roses are improving. Valley 

 is very fine, the fancy grade being more 

 plentiful. The Flower Market is offer- 

 ing daisies in quantity. These flowers, 

 as well as bouvardia and mignonette, are 

 coming into greater prominence daily. 



The Park Show. 



The interest manifested by the public 

 in the chrysanthemum show at Horticul- 

 tural hall in Fairmount park is really 

 wonderful. The attendance on each Sun- 

 day during November has been so large 

 that it was necessary to station a dozen 

 or more guards throughout the hall in 

 order to keep the crowds moving. The 



east room is the center of attraction. 

 Here the palms are arranged in the mid- 

 dle, while at each end are great banks 

 of chrysanthemums in pots, showing a 

 wealth of color most dazzling to the eye. 

 Whether this be artistic or not, it is cer- 

 tainly inost effective, and as an educa- 

 tional feature its value cannot be over- 

 .estimated. The cactus room is also beau- 

 tifully decorated with the queen of 

 autumn, while a smaller number pots of 

 the same flower are scattered through the 

 temperate house. It was impossible to 

 make any notes of the varieties, but the 

 stock was well grown. 



Chestnut Hill. 



The chrysanthemum exhibition of the 

 Chestnut Hill Horticultural Society was 

 held in Jocelyn hall November 14 and 15. 

 The hall was completely filled with a very 

 choice display of plants and flowers, the 

 queen of autumn and foliage plants pre- 

 dominating. The show was almost en- 

 tirely formed of the exhibits from the 

 large private places at the Hill. The 

 quality proved beyond question that the 

 standard among these gardeners is being 

 raised to a high level. I noticed in a 

 stroll around the room a few outside 

 exhibitors. Dreer and Michell were 

 there, the one with a display of choice 

 foliage plants, the other with effectively 

 arranged hardy chrysanthemums, also 

 bulbs. The mighty Kleinheinz was there 

 with some wonderful mums, his cut 

 blooms of W. R. Church being very hand- 

 some. Of the many local exhibitors, John 

 Little was most prominent, his exhibits 

 being good and varied, roses, chrysan- 

 themums and vegetables" all coming in for 

 a share of his attention. His mush- 

 rooms were enormous. I cannot go
