the florists cut their dahlias Wednes- 

 day and received good prices, as the 

 demand was more than could be met. 

 The high winds have been against the 

 indoor plants. Some report lots of dam- 

 age done to the chrysanthemums. Car- 

 nations are still coming in and meet the 

 demand. 



aubMeetioe. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club held 

 its regular meeting October 8, with 

 President W. G. Lehr in the chair. No- 

 tices were sent to every member that 

 there would be a smoker, and this drew 

 a large, jolly crowd, and the meeting 

 proved a success. 



A large amount of business was con- 

 sidered, as the chrysanthemum show will 

 soon hi on hand. It is expected to be 

 the most successful show ever held by 

 the club. 



H, Tilton was proposed for member- 

 ship by C. Wagner, and was elected. 



Maryland Horticultural Society invit- 

 ed the club to its annual exhibition and 

 banquet to be held in the Fifth Regi- 

 ment Armory, December 5 and 6. 



It was proposed by Thomas Patter- 

 son that the Gardeners' Club hold its 

 annual banquet at the Academy hotel. 



The question-box was one of the fea- 

 tures of the evening. One of the ques- 

 tions was carried over from the last 

 meeting and was discussed, "Which is 

 the most profitable to grow, roses or 

 carnations?" A keen interest was 

 taken in this. Messrs. Moss, Cook and 

 Anderson gave quite interesting talks on 

 . the subject. 



Lists of prizes for the chrysanthe- 

 mum and horticultural exhibition, to be 



held in the new Baltimore Florists' Ex- 

 change building, St. Paul and Franklin 

 streets, were distributed among those 

 present. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Eberhardt, of Catonsville, still 

 feels the effects of the accident he had 

 some time ago. , 



John Oler, Arlington, is erecting a 

 violet house 100 feet long. 



F. SeideUch, Woodlawn, Md.. is erect- 

 ing some fine new houses, and will finish 

 in a few days, when he will install a 

 gasoline engine for pumping. 



G. A. Lotze, Glen Burnie, from pres- 

 ent indications will have a tremendous 

 cut of chrysanthemums, and quite a 

 number of new varieties. He aJso has 

 a fine collection of new seedlings. 



E. A. Woodfall has completed a new 

 house for carnations 16x100 feet, and 

 the entire foundation is made of con- 

 crete. 



The stock of the late Anthony Cook 

 is now offered for sale. It consists of 

 decorative and hardy roses. 



Black Bros., Lutherville, have fine 

 specimens of African violets. They 

 claim this is a continuous bloomer. The 

 stems average about three inches long, 

 and it is designed for table decoration. 



A. A. Anderson, Govanstown, is cut- 

 ting some extra fine American Beauty 

 roses. 



W. Guerth has purchased the busi- 

 ness of Lehr Bros., 733 North Balti- 

 more street, and will continue the busi- 

 ness. Messrs. Lehr will confiue them- 

 selves to grovdng cut flowers for the 

 wholesale trade at their home in Brook- 

 lyn. 



John Rider, Brooklyn, is erecting a 

 fine new barn 'to replace one which was 

 recently destroyed by fire. 



Albert Fiedler, formerly of C. E. 

 Smith & Co., one of Baltimore's leading 

 enterprising young florists, has bought 

 the property at 904 South Charles street. 

 He has rebuilt the house, put in new 

 i'rench plate windows, and installed 

 electric lights, which makes the most 

 up-to-date store in his section. Business 

 vnth him has been steadily gaining, and 

 the improvements had to be made to 

 meet his large trade. Mr. Fiedler was 

 once an errand boy and now is one of 

 Baltimore's pushing florists.

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market 



Jack Frost arrived on schedule time, 

 just when the oldest inhabitants say 

 that he ought to come, a thing, by the 

 way, which he rarely does. The result 

 is we have no dahlias this week, and 

 they are sadly missed. Business is ac- 

 tive, weddings, teas and a variety of en- 

 tertainments keeping all branches of 

 the profession busy. 



Chrysanthemums are more in evidence 

 than last week. Merry Monarch, white; 

 Premo, yellow, and White Shaw, having 

 reinforced Polly Rose and Pacific, 

 now in its glory. Monrovia is practi- 

 cally over. The increase in quantity has 

 not yet materially affected the market, 

 owing to the brisk demand, but short- 

 stemmed flowers are no longer counted 

 in with the better grades. They now
