wood, attended the club meeting last 

 week and reported that their stock was 

 all looking fine, both carnations and vio- 

 lets, and all expect a good crop this sea- 

 son. E. W. Guy, of Belleville, also had 

 a good Mord regarding his young stock. 



(ieorge Waldbart left 'Germany for 

 home September 13 and is expected in 

 St. Louis by September 25. 



John J. Burke is again open at the 

 old stand, at Sixth and Locust streets. 

 Mr. Burke has a good stand, and reports 

 bis first week a good one in funeral work 

 and transient trade. 



Park Commissioner Phil Scanlan has 

 asked the city to buy three city blocks, 

 from Chestnut to Market streets and 

 from Fourth street to the river front. 

 This would face the court house and 

 would make a fine breathing spot for the 

 downtown district. ,1..). R.

The Market. 



Trade last week was fair. Funeral 

 work still holds out well, and, in fact, 

 that is almost the only kind of l)usiness 

 looked for. Koses are coming in more 

 regularly, as the warm weather is nearly 

 gone, and the stock is improving in 

 quality. Carnations are much better. 

 Asters are still coming in heavily, but 

 will soon be on the decrease; they are 

 selling well. There are still large quan- 

 tities of gladioli on the market. Dah- 

 lias are better and selling better, as the 

 cool nights we are having are bringing 

 the .stock up to the standard. Greens of 

 all kinds are enough to meet the de- 

 mands. 



The Gardeners' Club. 



At the last meeting of the Gardeners' 

 Club plans were made by many to go to 

 the Jamestown exposition to attend the 

 horticultural show, September 23. 



An informal discussion of the labpr 

 question was held, in which many told 

 their troubles in getting men who are 

 interested enough in flowers to work con- 

 scientiously. 



The meeting continued till nearly mid- 

 night. 



Various Notes. 



E. Van Eeuth, of Hamilton, Md., is 

 erecting a new house. 



G. Cook, of Arlington, is still hauling 

 flowers and vegetables to the market. 

 He has named his home Floral I*ark and 



reports that a new hotel costing $100,- 

 000 will shortly be built near his place. 



Mrs. Estelle T. McKay, of Irvington, 

 Md., has over 17,000 aster plants and 

 has given away over 5,000 plants. 



J. L. Downin raised a giant sunflower 

 twenty-two inches in diameter and has 

 about 2,000 seeds. 



A delegation from the Northeast Bal- 

 timore Improvement Association called 

 on James N. Boone to thank him for his 

 care of the Clifton park and the upper 

 part of Broadway square. J. L. G.

The Market. 



Trade has shown some improvement 

 the la.'st week, several weddings, the 

 iiorse show and a few large funerals 

 helping, but there is no scarcity of flow- 

 ers. Asters are coming in all colors, 

 and some of them are i)retty bad, none 

 of them just what they should be. Roses 

 continue to improve every day, and there 

 is demand for all the good stock. 



Various Notes. 



The handsomest thing seen in the way 

 of a store decoration was arranged by 

 Mrs. E. A. Williams, for McCreery & 

 (-0. About 300 feet of show windows 

 were arranged with green plush, sped 

 men foliage plants and America gladioli. 

 The same flowers and plants were used 

 throughout the store and the effect was 

 elegant. This firm, when making these 

 annual decorations, remove all their own 

 goods from the window and depend on 

 the elegance of the floral display to 

 bring the ])eople inside. From the ap- 

 pearance of things in this place of busi- 

 ness they are not disappointed, as noth- 

 ing more elegant has been seen for a 

 long time. 



There has been a small war among 

 some of the street men, who have been 

 cutting prices on asters, and last week 

 they were selling at 5 cents per dozen, 

 and pretty good stock at that. 



Miss McKinley is back at her post 

 with Randolph & McClements, after a 

 two months' vacation, and is looking 

 ready for all the rush business that can 

 come. 



Albert Lorch was a visitor at the 

 Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. 's at 

 Bakorstown, a few days ago, and report- 

 ed their stock, as a whole, as in the best

Randolph & McClements have installed
