Mention The Review when you write. 



The New York wholesalers are all rooting 

 for him. If he wins we may run Traentl- 

 ly next year for treasurer of New York. 

 Nothing too good for ex-presidents of 

 the 8. A. P. 



A. T. Boddington's first shipment of 

 azaleas arrived October 8, later than 

 usual because of the stevedores' strike 

 at Antwerp, which was a serious one and 

 settled just in time. 



Eli Cross, of Grand Rapids, was in the 

 city October 10. 



Siebrecht & Son, of New Rochelle, now 

 have fifteen houses devoted exclusively to 

 orchids, and will cut over 20,000 flowers 

 of Cattleya labiata this season. 



William Starke received 141 cases of 

 boxwood from Holland October 14. 



M. A. Bowe furnished the white orchid, 

 Beauty and Killarney bouquets for the 

 famous Boldt wedding at the Waldorf- 

 Astoria. 



October 14 Walter Sheridan was re- 

 ported out of danger, a great relief to 

 many anxious friends. 



W. H. Donohoe makes a fine display 

 of bay trees, tree box and decorative 

 palms in front of his big new store at 17 

 East Twenty-eighth street. 



Both members of the firm of Bonnet 

 & Blake, Brooklyn, are on deck after the 

 most serious ordeals in their career, one 

 for months on the shelf with infiam- 

 • matory rheumatism, the other recovered 

 from a most serious operation in a Roch- 

 ester hospital. They find their new store 

 too small for their rapidly growing busi- 

 ness. The only other wholesaler in Brook- 

 lyn, W. H. Kuebler, has the smvc fnult 

 to find, cramped quarters for increasing 

 trade, a condition that speaks well for 

 Brooklyn 's appreciation. 



Charles C. Trepel. of the City of 

 Churches, had an exhibit of about 10,000 

 chrysanthemums October 12 at his head- 

 quarters in Losier's. He decorated the 

 Montauk Club elaborately last week. 



Hicks & Co. are redecorating their store 

 at 52 West Twenty-eighth street and arc 

 crying out for more room. 



Joseph Fenrich paid -a visit to his 

 Poughkeepsie growers several days of last 

 week. 



George Cotsonas & Co. have sixteen 

 men gathering ferns in New England and 

 their work will continue until the snow 

 flies. 



Lecakes & Co. are receiving leucothoe 



The Florists* Manual 



We note your advertisement in a recent number of the REVIEW of the 

 second edition of Scott's Florists' Manaal, and request that you enter our order 

 for a copy of this valuable book. The writer is thorqughly acquainted with 

 the first edition of this work, having often had occasion to use it for reference 

 while a student at the Michigan Agricultural College. Please rush this order, 

 for we feel, with Mark Twain, that we "would rather not use violence."

 They also handle the chrysanthemum stock 

 of Garreau Bros., of Jersey City. 



C. H. Totty had some grand stock in 

 novelties, making claim for certification 

 Saturday, that were afterwards for sale 

 at Joseph Fenrich 's.

The MarkeU 



The advancing tide of chrysanthemums 

 is now beginning to make its mark in 

 the market, and while trade was fairly 

 good last week, the arrivals of the queen 

 of autumn promise soon to be more than 

 can be readily disposed of. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are much more abundant and 

 prices have tumbled. A few strictly fan- 

 cies bring $3 per dozen, while inferior 

 goods fetch the same price per hundred. 

 Polly Rose and Glory of Pacific are 

 most in evidence, but some fine Clemen- 

 tine Touset are seen, also Ardel and a 

 few Ivory and Mrs. Coombes. Roses are 

 of good quality and so far have sold 



well. Beauty, Richmond, Killarney and 

 Weljesley are all good, while Bride and 

 Maid now have fine stems. Carnations 

 remain about the same. Rose-pink En- 

 chantress promises, another season, to 

 largely displace the ordinary variety. 

 Some nice Beacon, Victory, Octoroon and 

 Queen are noticed. Winsor, like all the 

 Lawson varieties, has too short stems 

 so far. 



Lilies are not abundant and bring 

 good prices. A few asters and sweet 

 peas are still seen, also gladioli and 

 cosmos. Antirrhinum and mignonette 

 are seen in small quantities. Quite a 

 large supply of both single and double 

 violets now are arriving, but the demand 

 is not yet strong for them. Prices on 

 adiantum are a little stiffer, also on 

 hardy ferns. The latter are speciallv 

 good at present. 



Qub Meeting. 



Wilfred Wheeler was the speaker at 

 the meeting of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club October 1.5. His subject wa« 

 "Fruit Growing" and was handled iD 

 a most comprehensive manner. The pos- 

 sibilities for successful commercial fruit 

 culture in New England were pointed 

 out, apples among the large fruits, and 

 strawberries among small fruits, com- 

 ing in for special mention. An ani- 

 mated and interesting discussion fol-
