sister and brother, in their great afflic- 

 tion. Their brother Eoderick died sud- 

 denly at his residence, 782 Grand street, 

 Jersey City, on August 16, and the 

 funeral took place August 18, from St. 

 Patrick's Cathedral. Mr. O'Mara has 

 been for many years with the firm of 

 Peter Henderson & Co., the seedsmen of 

 Cortlandt street, New York, and was a 

 universal favorite with all who knew 

 him. 



William H. Donohoe had charge of 

 the Fanshawe wedding at Shrewsbury, 

 N. J., on August 18. The bridal bou- 

 quets were especially beautiful, that of 

 the bride being gardenias, with shower 

 effects. The six bridesmaids carried 

 shower bouquets of lily of the valley, 

 and the maid of honor had American 

 Beauties. 



Siebrecht & Son will have their new 

 store completed in time for the early 

 fall trade. Mr. and Mrs. H. Siebrecht 

 will leave soon for a trip through New 

 England. 



The will of the late James Weir has 

 been filed for probate. The widow and 

 son are named as executors. The estate 

 is divided among the immediate family. 



Sydney B. Wertheimer was in Chi- 

 cago last week on his usual business trip 

 and reports the best fall trade he ever 

 had. 



Abrahams, of Seventh avenue, Brook- 

 lyn, sent last week to the opening of the 

 Spooner's theater the largest horseshoe 

 ever seen in the city of churches. It was 

 worth $100. J. Austin Shaw.

The Market 



Business is now at its lowest ebb, and 

 there is just about enough to keep the 

 craft from going to sleep. The demand 

 is confined entirely to flowers of light 

 colors, which can be used in funeral 

 work, and no one is taking the risk of 

 buying much stock unless it is ordered 

 and the sale is a sure thing. There is 

 practically no transient trade and very 



little decorative work. Funeral work is 

 the mainstay. 



The supply of stock is not heavy, with 

 the exception of gladioli, which are com- 

 ing strong and are not selling so well. 

 It is hard to move the darker colors at 

 any price. Asters are in good demand 

 and the supply is fairly ample, but many 

 more white ones could be disposed of to 

 advantage. Purple and lavender are 

 none too plentiful. Roses are poor in 



Here is the dollar for another year of 



In it we generally very easily find 

 what we are looking: fon a fact high- 

 ly appreciated by every one, we feel 

 stue.

quality, but at that, they sell out com- 

 pletely at fair prices. Carnations are 

 scarce, there being scarcely any to speak 

 of on the market. Lilies are good prop- 

 erty and sell w«ll. Tuberoses also do 

 well. The supply of green goods is equal 

 to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



A meeting of the Florists' Society 

 was held in the club-rooms Saturday 

 evening. There was not much business 



to be disposed of, but the nearness of 

 the convention of the S. A. F. formed 

 an interesting topic for discussion. A 

 committee was appointed to draw up 

 resolutions on the death of James 

 Hartshorne, who was an honorary mem- 

 ber of our society. The news of the 

 death of Mr. Hartshorne was received 

 w4th the greatest regret by the craft of 

 this city. He was a frequent visitor 

 in Cincinnati, and his amiable disposi- 

 tion and good business qualities had 

 made him many friends here. 



The annual Hamilton county fair was 

 held at Carthage during the last week. 

 The premiums offered for cut flowers 

 and plants brought out a good exhibi- 

 tion. The awards were as follows: 

 George & Allan, first for best display of 

 roses, best -general display of cut flow- 

 ers, best general display of cut flowers 

 and designs; second for best gladiolus, 

 best asters, best palms, best display of 

 pot plants. J. T. Conger took first 

 prizes for best geraniums, best gladiolus, 

 best asters, best palms, best display pot 

 plants, best general display; second on 

 best display of roses, best general dis- 

 play of cut flowers. 



George F. Crabb, of Grand Bapids, 

 arrived in town last Saturday and is 

 visiting the various establishments about 

 this city. Other visitors were Ben Esch- 

 ner of Philadelphia and S. S.Jgkidelsky.

NOVEL COLD STORAGE PLANT. 



H. G. Fleming, of Fairmont, W. Va., 

 has the unique advantage of getting his 

 heat and his cold from the same source. 

 A small horizontal coal tunnel leads to 

 his boiler-roam, and from this little cars 

 bring him his fuel, then on the return 

 trip they carry his cut flowers back to 

 the mine for cold storage. The little 

 railroad runs through the greenhouses 

 and furnishes transportation facilities. 



The temperature of the mine never 

 varies more than three degrees, remain- 

 ing at 45 to 48 degrees. A dozen car- 

 nations put in for the purpose of ex- 

 perynent wilted only one day sooner than 

 the fresh carnations.
