dug daily, for personal selection at their 

 Broad street stand. 



The Franklin Park Floral Co. has been 

 doing some excellent decorative work for 

 the republican political meetings at the 

 new Franklin Memorial hall. 



Miss Gertrude Blair, after a good va- 

 cation, has returned to her post, in 

 charge of the floral decorative depart- 

 ment with the Livingston Seed Co. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has had 

 an especially good run on chrysanthe- 

 mums. It is cutting some fine Clemen- 

 tine Touset and other popular sorts. 



A thorough overhauling and repairing 

 has recently been given the Maurice 

 Evans place, and it is now in good shape 

 for business. 



Both has been receiving and growing 

 some especially fine carnations, perhaps 

 the best so far seen here this fall. 



Zero. 



FoBT Dodge, Ia. — P. L. Larson has 

 about 40,000 feet of glass and has every- 

 thing in good shape for winter. He has 

 two steam boilers, operating one and 

 holding the other in reserve except in 

 severe weather. 



Hillsdale, Mich. — The Lake Shore 

 railroad has torn down its greenhouses 

 here and removed the material to its 

 shops at Adrian. It is understood that 

 the company will not in the future have 

 as many flower beds but will use more 

 shrubbery, hardy perennials, and trees. 

 The more important stations along the 

 line will have a few flower beds. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



The market conditions this week are 

 about the same. The better grades of 

 chrysanthemums are now in; the earlier 

 sorts are about done with. Carnations 

 are a little more plentiful than last 

 week. 



Variou* Notes. 



W. K. Harris is sending some good 

 chrysanthemums to the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., the varieties being Florence 

 Harris and Ivory. This firm also is 

 receiving fine Yellow Eaton from H. 

 Weber & Sons Co., and fine LaFrance 

 violets from Fred Boos. 



Edward Beid has some fine Cheltoni, 

 yellow, and Mrs. Coombes, pink. 



Wm. Baker is handling some good 

 Ivory. 



Wm. E. McKissick has a good white 

 seedling, which follows Polly Bose, also 

 some Fair Maid carnations with good 

 stems. 



The varieties of chrysanthemums noted 

 at the Leo Niessen Co. 's this week are 

 Halsley, pink. Col. Appleton, yellow, and 

 Alice Byron, white. They are handling 

 cut boxwood in quantity. 



The Dingee & Conard Co., of West 

 Grove, Pa., has just completed the erec- 

 tion of eight greenhouses of iron con- 

 struction, 12x90 feet. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. has 



some very good Harrisii lilies, and some 

 fine single and double violets. 



Phil. 



Phil's brief notes this week fail to in- 

 clude an item which the Editor is sure 

 will awaken sympathetic interest in the 

 trade in Philadelphia. On Saturday aft- 

 ernoon, October 27, Phil was taken sud- 

 denly ill and conveyed immediately to 

 the Germantown hospital, where he was 

 at once operated on for appendicitis. 

 The latest report was that he was doing 

 well, but necessarily will have to be quiet 

 lor a period. 



NEV YORK. 



The Market, 



It is Indian summer in the east, 

 beautiful weather for weddings, for 

 palm and fern shipping, for the final 

 setting of one's (green) house in order, 

 so that all may be in shape for the 

 long, cold winter, which William Scott 

 and all the other reliable prophets say 

 is close at hand. 



Last week was like its predecessors of 

 even date in other years, prices low and 

 steady. Mums were not as numerous as 

 expected and prices of the yellow va- 

 rieties were excellent on Saturday be- 

 cause of the big Princeton-Cornell foot- 

 ball game. Soon the violets will have 

 their inning for Yale will next be in 

 the limelight. Half a million violets
