•lohn Young is receiving splendid car- 

 nations from the Cottage Gardens, as 

 usual, and the finest of gardenias, val- 

 ley, mums and roses, his Bedford range 

 contributing Beauties that are well 

 worthy of the name. 



Frank Millang has recovered from the 

 exhilarating influence of his sea voyage 

 and European travel, and is now at his 

 old stand in the Coogan building, con- 

 ducting a larger trade than any sea- 

 son in his experience. 



Bonnot Bros, are receiving and ship- 

 ping many fine roses and, with Will 

 Siebrecht and Smith, doing their share 

 towards making the Cut Flower Ex- 

 change a busy spot from six to six 

 every day. 



Reed & Keller show something new 

 and interesting every week. The latest 

 novelty is the armadillo basket, made 

 from the shell of the animal itself, and 

 a most attractive seller. Another new 

 thing is the new stationary, angled pot- 

 liolder in many sizes. They report gen- 

 'Tal business good and slow collections 

 the only discouraging sign of the times; 

 in the order line, things are booming. 



John Seligman & Co. say "no kick 

 ••oming." They make a specialty of 

 Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus, and 

 they have some expert rose growers on 

 their staff.

October 19 A. J. Onttnian had n Avin- 



dow display of sixty seedling and nov- 

 elty nanus of ininiense size and beauty 

 which he claimed, in his enthusiasm, to 

 be the finest in the world. Fred Lau- 

 tenschlager, of Chicago, was official 

 measurer and found many of them eight 

 to nine inches in diameter. The asking 

 price was $1 each. 



J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y.,

 and inner demands of humanity satis- 

 factorily.

 club he runs with the agility of a two- 

 year-old. 



Samuel Parsons, park coinniissioner. 

 has asked for $2,500,000 to reconstruct 

 Central park. The New York papers 

 are making strenuous objections to the 

 expenditure and ventilating, with great 

 minuteness, Mr. Parson's connection 

 with the rare tree company and the Par- 

 sons & Sons nursery, of Flushing. 



Julius Roehrs, of Rutherford, recently 

 returneu from his annual European triji

The Market. 



Our Home Coming week was a suc- 

 cess, though business at times was al- 

 most at a standstill. Thousands of vis- 

 itors took advantage of the good time 

 and little attention was paid to busi- 

 ness. However, judging from the large 

 (Quantity of flowers used in the many 

 parades, someone was doing business, but 

 there was little demand for carnations 

 and roses. Chrysanthemums were seen 

 made up in fine bunches. Our market 

 has a glut of flowers, which is due to 

 the large quantity of dahlias and cos- 

 mos. We are having light frosts, but 

 little damage is done and some of the 

 growers are cutting the outdoor blooms 

 and storing them away. Very few out- 

 door blooms will go to waste this year. 



Chrysantheqinms are abundant ; they 

 move slowly, white in particular. The 

 pink varieties move a little better. 

 Some of the mum growers are wishing 

 for a heavy frost to do away with the 

 outside flowers. Carnations are coming 

 in a little more regularly, Roses are 

 plentiful. Violets are slow in coming 

 in. A few callas are making their ap- 

 pearance. Hydrangeas are still on the 

 market. Ferns and palms are beginning 

 to move nicely. Greens of all kinds seem 

 to be enough to meet the demands. 



Various Notes. 



Among those who were seen in the 

 Fraternal parade during Home Coming; 

 week were Charles Cook, W. Terry, \\ . 

 Christie and C. Hess.
