 Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue. 

 A lecture by Professor Nash, of Bronx 

 park, and an exhibit of mums and novel-

 year,

William F. Upson has been appointed 

 receiver for J. M. Hodgson, whose bank-

Wertheimer Bros, say the ribbon busi- 

 ness is the best ever, especially among 

 florists. S. B. Wertheimer has been 

 in the west for ten days. The business 

 there is always much earlier than the 

 local demand. The firm is receiving 

 many compliments on its new catalogue. 



Arthur T. Boddington has had a phe-

 no surpluses of bulbs this season.

 fine Brides and Maids, the entire outfit 

 being handled by Mr. Froment.

 buyers. Ho is handling great quantities

 Newport, although their Newport branch 

 is still open and a good, steady trade is 

 maintained at that society center. 



Oscar Schultz, of Newport, R. I,, was 

 in town this week. 



John Young says business has im- 

 proved greatly in the last few days. He 

 is getting $30 per hundred for the long 

 Beauties from his Bedford place. 



The Yokohama Nursery Co. says the 

 longiflorum bulbs arrived in particularly 

 fine shape this season and that, contrary 

 to the experience of recent years, they 

 have a surplus of the larger sizes to 

 offer. 



John King Ducr, 644 Madison avenue, 

 under the management of J. J. Coan, is 

 rapidly establishing a fine business. Many 

 novelties in statuettes, engravings and 

 works of art add to the distinctiveness of 

 the establishment, J, Austin Shaw,

Current G>mment. 



Some delightful cool weather has had 

 a bracing effect on business and good re- 

 ports come from nearly all the stores. 

 George Cooke says a decided improve- 

 ment is noticed. Blackistone has his 

 annual palm sale on. J. A. Phillips has 



a fern sale, mostly Piersoni and Bar- 

 rowsii, fine stock from Henry A. Dreer, 

 Philadelphia. F. H. Kramer also has a 

 plant sale on. Mayberry & Hoover have 

 a force of paper hangers and painters at 

 work at their store and will soon be in 

 shape for the coming season, which is 

 predicted to be a good one. 



A lady passing Gudes' store so ad- 

 mired the old mill and millrace, with the 

 pond of lilies, water plants, etc., that 

 she purchased it as it stood and had it 

 installed in her home. 



A visit to Twin Oaks shows that Peter 

 Bisset has everything in the best of 

 order. The three new houses just fin- 

 ished are up-to-date in every respect. He 

 lias added a fine cellar for mushroom 

 culture. Mr. Bisset and family are doing 

 the big show at Jamestown this week. 



Gude Bros, are cutting a fine lot of 

 white chrysanthemums. 



The October meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held in the Scottish Rite hall, 

 to give the public a chance to view the 

 dahlias on exhibition. The hall was well 

 filled with this beautiful flower. W. R. 

 Gray, Oakton, Va., exhibited fifty varie- 

 ties. Mr. Gray has been compelled to 

 erect a new building for packing ex- 

 press ancl mail orders. Henry A. Dreer 

 showed a collection, including quite a few 

 of the newer ones. Dr. W. W. Evans 

 showed select blooms of the cactus varie- 

 ties.
