D. MacRorie, of Orange, N. J., and H. 

 K. Philpott, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, paid 

 lis a visit recently. 



The park board has been doing some 

 ifood work on the main streets by cutting 

 out all of the dead branches and the 

 dead trees. This is really the first time 

 the trees have received a thorough over- 

 hauling for many years, and it adds 

 orreatly to the appearance of the city. 



Taepke's store is receiving a new coat 

 of paint. The front has been put into 

 tjfood shape again and Mr. Taepke is all 

 ready for the winter rush. H. 8. 



NEV YORK. 



The Market 



Labor day opened the fall season with 

 a big rain storm, making wholesale flow- 

 erdom funereal, spoiling the parade of 

 the 50,000 and the restful outings of the 

 ■■),000,000 New Yorkers. August was the 

 most delightful month florists have ever 

 experienced in cool, sunny weather, and 

 gave opportunity to make ready for the 

 great season of prosperity just at hand. 

 There is not a cloud in the floricultural 

 commercial sky. * 



Little first-class stock is yet reaching 

 the New York market. When it does, 

 whether orchids, roses or carnations, the 

 demand absorbs it quickly. There is a 

 big call from the society centers, espe- 

 cially from Newport, and mostly for or- 

 chids and Beauties. Prices for these aro 

 rising, and for good Brides and Maids, 



yet few and far between, better figures 

 than average quotations are easily ob- 

 tainable. 



The quality of valley is excellent, and 

 carnations are lengthening their stems' 

 and beginning to look natural again. The 

 river of asters and gladioli is as wide and 

 deep as ever. Market gardeners are 

 growing asters all around us. This ac- 

 counts for part of the flood, and the 

 same may be said of the gladioli. Childs 

 and Cowee send enough daily to New 

 York to beautify every country store in 

 the Union. Selected stock commands $1 

 a hundred, America steps a notch higher, 

 but the great, common, everyday lower 

 class of the procession is well sold at 50 

 cents a hundred. The same applies to 

 asters. 



Next will come the dahlias and, within 

 speaking distance, the army of chrysan- 

 themums is on the way. Plenty of lilies 

 are coming in, and hydrangeas, any num- 

 ber, for there is not a suburban home 

 witiiout a yard of them. They" are as 

 popular and universally in evidence in 

 the fall as is the Crimson Rambler in the 

 spring. 



Various Notes. 



Do not forget the club meeting next 

 Monday evening, September 9, at the 

 new rooms in the Murray Lyceum, Thir- 

 ty-fourth street and Third ^venue; won- 

 derfully handy , for Long Islanders and 

 an excellent location for all. John B. 

 Nugent has something special in the com- 

 missary department and the occasion will 

 be made one of jollity and importance to 

 the club 's future prosperity. 



The new president of the S. A. F, 

 boars liis honors and congratulations 



with becoming modesty. The position is 

 all the more gratifying because it was 

 unsought and unexpected. 



These are the days of fairs, though 

 they are often on anything but a fair 

 day, for at noon on Monday the heavens 

 were still open and the rain descending. 

 Over on Staten Island the Richmond 

 County Agricultural Society begins a six- 

 day session, which it calls New York 

 City's. Great Interborough Fair. They 

 announce exhibits from Bobbink & At- 

 kins, Stumpp & Walter Co. and growers 

 from Sparkill, Nyack, Glens Falls and 

 other outside sections. The fair grounds 

 are near a popular summer resort, Mid- 

 land Beach. Great crowds are expected. 



Saturday, August 31, an agricultural 

 and horticultural exhibition began at 

 Schuctzen park, Glendale, L. I., under the 

 auspices of the Schwaebischer Saenger- 

 bund. This is the thirty-first annual ex- 

 hibition of the society. The Long Island 

 florists were much in evidence. 



September 4 the annual exhibition of 

 the Southampton Horticultural Society 

 began at Agawan hall, Southampton, 

 Long Island. 



The seedsmen 's windows these days 

 appeal to the vegetarian's heart and 

 make him glad such tomatoes as Thor- 

 burn's windows display, from currant 

 size to Ponderosa, solve the food prob- 

 lem. To specify all the other exhibits 

 in these windows would need a catalogue. 

 Stumpp & Walter's new windows seem 

 built to last and are tastefuUy filled with 

 the products of their seeds. Hender- 

 son 's have almost everything in fruit and 

 flower. 



William Elliott and his wife have been 

 rusticating in the Thousand Islands. The
