better. C!older weather will bring them 

 up to the standard. Valley is extra fine, 

 with a fair demand. All outdoor stock 

 got a backset, as we had several frosts 

 last week. Greens are plentiful. 



Variotu Notes. 



The Mullanphy Floral Co., on Grand 

 avenue, is sporting a fine new delivery 

 wagon all in white. The company was 

 busy last week with wedding decora- 

 tions. 



Henry Felter 's Lexington avenue place 

 is a fine sight. His chrysanthemum 

 plants are of the best this year. 



Charles Kuehn is handling a lot of 

 fine longiflorums, which sell well. Am- 

 mann's consignments of roses are among 

 the best that come to this market. Can- 

 field and Belle Miller's consignments 

 are also large and fine. 



The F. J. Foster Floral Co. is making 

 daily fine window displays of cut chrys- 

 anthemums in the New Century building. 



The Metz Floral Co., on Page avenue, 



has changed hands. It is now known 

 as the Gallagher Flower Shop. It is a 

 neat store and in a district where busi- 

 ness should be good. 



Kalisch & Sons, at Taylor and Delmar 

 avenues, are this week making a fine dis- 

 play of chrysanthemum plants; also cut 

 blooms. Ed Kalisch reports trade in 

 blooming plants as being excellent. 



J. F. Wilcox, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, 

 is consigning to this market a lot of 

 extra good Brides and Maids, also Amer- 

 ican Beauties. These are handled by 

 W. C. Smith & Co. 



Frank J. Fillmore is now all through 

 piping his houses, the work being done 

 by young Frank, who is there "with the 

 goods." The place is now ready for a 

 large season's business. Everything in 

 season can be found there. 



At H. G. Berning's shipping trade is 

 reported good. 



President William C. Young, of the 

 Florists' Club, was out hustling for the 

 club last week and says he will have the 



banner attendance at the November 

 meeting. 



A visit to the new quarters of the St 

 Louis Seed Co., at Fourth and Lucas 

 avenues, shows a fine store with plate 

 glass front, with four large floors above, 

 in which a fine display of bulbs, seeds 

 and birds is made. Walter Eetzer says 

 that the firm is doing a large business 

 in fall bulbs and that business has 

 shown a large increase since the opening 

 of the new store. 



The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co. also is 

 making a great show of fall bulbs. Mr. 

 Schisler says the sale of fall bulbs has 

 been surprisingly large this fall. 



The Engelmann Botanical Club held 

 a meeting October 14 in the Central 

 High School building. C. H. Thomp- 

 son, of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 

 presided. Mr. Kellogg, of East St. 

 Louis, gave an interesting talk on bot- 

 any. C. Fulgraf, of the Missouri Bo- 

 tanical Garden, lectured on the emigra- 

 tion of plants, which was of some im-
