venter avenues, which the manager of 

 the railway company furnished free of 

 charge. The dates of the show are No- 

 vember 12 to 15. The final premium 

 list will be out some time next month 

 and will contain a number of valuable 

 prizes in all classes, including the $500 

 Shaw prizes, which are always a good 

 attraction. 



With the free rent of the hall, which 

 has always been the greatest expense, 

 the show should be a financial success 

 this year. After the meeting the mem- 

 bers, including Mrs. Miller, Miss Mein- 

 hardt, Mrs. Koenig and Mrs. Sanders, 

 sat down to a nice lunch furnished by 

 their host and hostess. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. C. Canfield, of Springfield, 

 111., was a visitor last week, making 

 the rounds of the commission houses, 

 and reports stock at their place in fine 

 shape for a big cut this season. 



Adolph Fehr, of Belleville, 111., found 

 time during the busy fair week to come 

 to the city to place orders for stock for 

 a number of weddings he has on hand 

 this week. He has a good word for 

 Canna King Humbert, which he says is 

 the finest red now in the market. 



Charles Kuehn visited his friend, Fred 

 Ammann, at Edwardsville, last week, and 

 reports that his roses and carnations are 

 in better shape than ever. 



At the county fair held at Belleville, 

 111., last week, the St. Clair Floral Co. 

 made a fine display of plants and cut 

 flowers. President Halstead, of the firm, 

 was on hand in person. 



W. C. Smith visited his Kirkwood 

 consignors last week and reports that 



Hugo Gross, W. J. Pilcher, H. Niemeyer, 

 A. Scheidegger, R. Wolfsberger and oth- 

 ers have fine violet and carnation plants, 

 from which great things are expected 

 this fall and winter. The bulk of the 

 California violets come from this place. 



George Waldbart returned September 

 21 from his trip abroad, looking the pic- 

 ture of health. 



TTie Riessen Floral Co., the Foster Flo-

The Rising Eastern Market. 



Tlie opening of the fall season for 

 outdoor sports has produced its effect on 

 the cut flower market. While flowers 

 were not used either at the Bryn ilawr 

 horse show or the international cricket 

 match, these events brought society homo 

 from the seashore and the mountains, 

 and with society home once more enter- 

 taining in a small way has commenced. 

 The department stores have been open- 

 ing other departments, and the shipping 

 demand, a most important feature of 

 this market, has increased. Conditions 

 have been further aflPected by some ex- 

 traordinarily heavy rains, reducing the 

 shipments of outdoor flowers on wet days. 

 Wild smilax has been in hea\-y demand, 

 a clear indication that the decorating sea- 

 son is well under way.
