home by the end of the week. Harry 

 Ellison, who is in charge, had a painful 

 accident, cutting his arm to the bone 

 with a broken window glass. Arthur 

 Ellison is reported in Chicago, where he 

 is employed for the winter. 



W. E. Smith & Co. are making altera- 

 tions and improvements, in order to pro- 

 vide the much needed room for their 

 growing business. 



C. A. Kuehn is receiving large con- 

 signments of white and pink Cochet 

 roses, the first grades of which have a 

 good demand. Asters, too, have been 

 arriving in great abundance, with only 

 the large white and purple selling well. 



The new trustees of the Florists' Club, 

 who will be installed in oflBce Thursday 

 afternoon, September 12, will, it is said, 

 inaugurate a series of social meetings 

 during the winter months, also a chry- 

 santhemum exhibition in the club rooms 

 during November. The trustees this year 

 are Charles Schoenle, W. C. Smith and 

 Carl Beyer, who will work hard to make 

 the club meetings interesting to the 

 members. President-elect Young, Secre- 



tary-elect Bentzen and Treasurer -elect 

 Weber will work in conjunction with 

 them to make the meetings so interest- 

 ing that they will be largely attended.

The Market. 



The month opened much like any other 

 September and, while everyone hopes that 

 business will improve after August is 

 past, we are not far enough along to no- 

 tice it as yet. Gladioli and asters are 

 here for fair, with Beauties, lilies and 

 roses fighting for next place. The result 

 is, the wholesalers have much more stock 

 than the trade can take care of and 

 prices are about as low as they can pos- 

 sibly get, especially on the low grades of 

 stock. 



Variotn Notes. 



The Florists' Club's regular meeting 

 September 3 was a success and, if not the 

 largest, made up in enthusiasm what it 



lacked in numbers. Among the interest- 

 ing talks was one on asters, in which a 

 servant of the city who has had phenom- 

 enal success with asters volunteered the 

 information that he had the formula for 

 something that will destroy the aster bee- 

 tle. As that is just what we all are look- 

 ing for, a demand was made for the pre- 

 scription. Now, while the discoverer 

 admits that he is not going to patent it, 

 or put it on the market in any way him- 

 self, he refused to divulge his secret and 

 thus puts himself on record as being the 

 first member of the club who has been 

 unwise enough to mention anything in 

 connection with his stock that he was not 

 willing to tell all about. John Lewis 

 Childs, Floral Park, N. Y., sent one of 

 his gladiolus displays. It elicited much 

 favorable comment, as the stock and va- 

 riety were exceptionally fine. Frank Ban- 

 ning, of Kinsman, O., was there with 

 America, 1900, Augusta, a new pink seed- 

 ling, and a lot of unnamed seedlings. 

 This collection would have gladdened the 

 heart of any fancier of gladioli, and he 

 has a trick of putting some very good
