sympathy of all in the death of his wife 

 last week. 



Walter Sheridan has been quite ill for 

 two weeks, but is now fast convalescing. 



A notable decoration October 2 was 

 ma<1c by J. H. Small & Sons at the Wal- 

 dorf-Astoria on the occasion of the ban- 

 quet of the cotton nwjrchants of this city 

 to their English visitors of the Liverpool 

 Exchange. American Beauties and im- 

 mense quantities of cotton balls were 

 nised in the unique display. 



F. H. Traendly, J. K. Allen and Jo- 

 seph Fenrich gave considerable time last 

 week to traveling and, in fact, all the 

 wholesalers have made fraternal calls, 

 during the last month, on their sources 

 of supply. Everyone comes back opti- 

 mistic and cheerful as to the outlook. 

 The first good frost will start the wheels 

 again. J. Austin Shaav. 



CoviXGTON, Ky. — The Covington Seed 

 Co. has .iust completed two new houses, 

 eacli 20x100 feet, with iron frames, con- 

 crete walls, and glass 16x18 inches. Tliis

PHILADBLPHIA. 



The Riling Eastern Market. 



Despite the weather, conditions are 

 steadily improving. Tlie volume of busi- 

 ness is larger than a week.agp, with last 

 Saturday corning very close' to a 'record- 

 maker for September. Dahlias are ar- 

 riving in enormous quantities, on tlic 

 days when rain has not spoiled tlie 

 blooms. The demand for them is excel- 

 lent, at prices that appear renuinerative. 

 Asters are on the wane, the bulk of tlic 

 stock being of poorer quality, and much 

 shorter in stem. Prices are receding. 

 The immense crop of tea roses, so notice- 

 able during the middle of last month, is 

 now over, with scarcely enough good 

 stock to satisfy the demand, the result 

 being advancing prices, especially on 

 Kaiserin, Bride, Maid and Killarney. 



Valley is in good demand. Cattleyas 

 are a feature of the market, the quantity 

 larger, probably, than ever before at this 

 season, the quality very fine. Tiiere ap- 

 pears to be enough demand to keep the 



jtrice steady at this week's lower quota- 

 tion. Single violets are becoming more 

 |)lentiful and have improved in quality 

 and length of stem. They are also fra- 

 grant, an indispensalde quality in the 

 violet. Gardenias have made their a|)- 

 pcarance from distant points. Cosmos is 

 fine and abundant. Tuberoses can now 

 be iiad in quantity. Chrysanthemums 

 have made their appearance in numbers, 

 Monrovia, Mrs. Kalb, Glory of Pacific 

 and.Cremo being first varieties. 



Wild smilax is in Jictive demand. The 

 market for greens is only fair. 



Qub Meeting. 



Over 100 members attended the an- 

 nual meeting of the Florists' Club Tues- 

 day evening, October 1. Kind letters

 York and Washington clubs, expressing 

 appreciation of the entertainment at the 

 S. A. F. convention. These letters were 

 ordered placed in the minutes.
