at the house of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, 

 Jr., over 2,000 Enchantress being used. 

 Mr. and Mrs. Leikens have returned from 

 Newport after a most satisfactory sea- 

 son there. 



The Horticultural Society of New 

 York has an exhibition of hardy flowers 

 on Wednesday and Thursday of this 

 week at the Museum building, Bronx 

 park. This, too, is the opening meeting 

 of the winter sessions of the society. 

 Dr. Britton is in Jamaica, in company 

 with Dr. Underwood and Professor Ev- 

 ans, of Yale. 



Several New Yorkers are going out 

 November 6 to ^ee how Chicago handles 

 flower shows. They may be considered 

 "from Missouri." 



Our seed and bulb houses are having 

 the season of their lives. Every firm is 

 busy and demand exceeds all records. 

 Specification seems unnecessary where all 

 are prosperous. Those whose facilities 

 make window display possible have kept 

 up the interest of the public by con- 

 stantly changing novelties. Henderson, 

 Thorbum, Boddington, Stumpp & Walter 

 Co., and Bickards Bros, all have windows 

 worth crossing many a bridge to see. 



In all the retail florists' windows the 

 value of unique and attractive daily 

 change of decoration is more and more 

 apparent. Autumn leaves already are in 

 evidence. Beautiful vases in dozens of 

 new designs add effectiveness. Orchids 

 especially give tone and style. Hydran- 

 gea paniculata, Eulalia Japonica zebrina, 

 tritomas and now chrysanthemums hold 



the pedestrian in admiration. The win- 

 dows of the retailer are an index as to 

 his ability and prosperity. They speak 

 "with no uncertain sound." 



McManus, at orchid headquarters, has 

 a wonderful assortment of all the lead- 

 ing varieties on exhibition. His big 

 store on Twenty-eighth street never is 

 without a generous supply from many of 

 the leading orchid growers of the coun- 

 try. The bookings for the October or- 

 chid weddings indicate a boom in both 

 the matrimonial and orchid market. 



P. J. Donohoe, superintendent of the 

 Morris K. Jessup estate, and uncle of 

 W. H. Donohoe, the retail florist, died 

 October 1. Mr. Donohoe was universally 

 respected. He was gardener for James 

 Gordon Bennett, John Jacob Astor, and 

 in his present position during the past 

 sixteen years. The funeral was largely 

 attended and the floral offerings numer- 

 ous and beautiful. 



John Seligman & Co. have, with added 

 ice-box and office facilities, one of the 

 most complete and convenient stores in 

 the wholesale district. They are adding 

 to their staff of' growers rapidly. The 

 last year has been an eventful one for 

 both members of the firm. 



J. Austin Shaw. 



At the Mineola fair Mr. Jaenecke, of 

 John Lewis Childs, took fifteen first 

 prizes on fifteen entries for plants, dis- 

 tancing all competitors. 



Francis J. Reynolds, who died in 

 Brooklyn September 27, was a prominent 



lower Fulton street florist, and as the 

 son of Thomas and Catherine Beynolds 

 was well known in that section of the 

 city, •where his parents had lived for 

 many years. He was born in Brooklyn, 

 and never was married. He had lived 

 for some time with his brother George 

 at 230 Bergen street, from which place 

 the funeral was held. 



George Julius, 115 Lexington avenue, 

 presented William R. Hearst with a 

 handsome floral emblem, nine feet high, 

 made of red roses. The tribute was a 

 token of personal esteem from the florist 

 to Mr. Hearst. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



The conditions prevailing in the cut 

 flower market this week are most unus- 

 ual for the season. There is a surpris- 

 ing scarcity of choice stock, noticeable 

 chiefly in carnations and in roses. The 

 dahlia still reigns supreme; quality and 

 quantity have never been equalled in this 

 market. This popular flower goes a long 

 way towards making up the deficiency 

 felt. Violets have made their appear- 

 ance in sufficient quantity to be a factor 

 in the market. The singles are of course 

 the more plentiful, but a few doubles 

 of fair quality can be had. 



Chrysanthemums made their appear- 

 ance September 12, as mentioned in this 

 column, but until this week there were 

 never enough to be seriously considered.
