greater than a year ago and the affair 

 a most gratifying success. Fitzgerald's 

 orchestra is on hand and the decorations 

 show that many wholesalers' employees 

 had their early training in retail estab- 

 lishments. The committee in charge 

 consists of John Enders, Charles Erne, 

 and H. W. Eodgers. 



Various Notes. 



Secretary Philip Schupp has sent out a 

 call for a special meeting of the Florists' 

 Qub at Handel hall October 31, to ar- 

 range final details for show week. 



The telegraph companies have re- 

 opened their branch oflBces in the whole- 

 sale cut flower district, but the service 

 is yet far from what it should be. 



George Walther, on Sixty-third street, 

 says business is all that he could expect 

 at this season. 



J. A. Budlong cut the first Timothy 

 Eaton chrysanthemums October 28. 

 They were as big as ever. 



Charles Bisch is the latest addition to 

 the staff of Weiland & Eisch. He is 

 from New York and a cousin of John 

 P. Risch. 



Peter Eeinberg is cutting about the 

 best Eichmond roses in the history of the 

 establishment; stock that will be hard to 

 beat at the show next week. 



N. J. Wietor says that the New Or- 

 leans demand this season was the heav- 

 iest the house of Wietor Bros, ever has 



experienced. On Tuesday each of two 

 orders called for 500 chrysanthemums, 

 and 600 of the lot were at 25 cents 

 each. Their Appleton are gone and Bon- 

 naffon is sent for yellow. 



C. W. MeKellar is handling large 

 quantities of green goods and has among 

 other things cut fronds of Adiantum 

 Farleyense that bring what look like 

 high prices to those who use cuneatum. 



George Eeinberg is having better suc- 

 cess with chrysanthemums than any pre- 

 vious year. Just now he is cutting more 

 Bonnaffon than any other sort and has 

 finely finished stock. 



The A. L. Eandall Co. is handling 

 Adiantum Croweanum from Peter Crowe, 

 Utiea, N. Y. A bunch of it is as large 

 as half a dozen bunches of cuneatum. 



E. Fransen, manager of the selling 

 end for Scheiden & Schoos, says their red 

 seedling carnation is better this year 

 than last and that it brings more money 

 than any other red on the place. They 

 have no present thought of sending it 

 out to the trade. 



October 25 George Baer, of Toledo, 

 began his annual shipments of Bonnaf- 

 fon to the Kennicott Bros. Co., show- 

 ing that mums at Toledo also are earlier 

 than usual, the same as in this vicinity. 



Bassett & Washburn have concluded 

 that they vrill disseminate their red car- 

 nation, Orland P. Bassett, originally 

 known as No. 20, during the approach- 



ing season. The flowers thus far cut 

 are excellent and the stems especially 

 good. John Mangel and one out-of-town 

 customer have had all the flowers so far 

 at 4 cents each. 



A. I. Simmons is making use of his 

 1905 flower show medal for advertising. 

 The Englewood Times recently gave him 

 a good send-off on it. 



At E. H. Hunt's, C. M. Dickinson says 

 the supply department already is feel- 

 ing the approach of the holidays, the 

 demand being stronger than ever at this 

 season. 



Frederick Sperry, of Vaughan & 

 Sperry, is entertaining his father and 

 his sister, Miss lone Sperry, from Con- 

 neaut, O. Mrs. Sperry recently returned 

 from Colorado. 



The trade thinks this year's flower 

 show poster the best up to date. 



E. E. Pieser took advantage of last 

 week's flurry in Wall street to become a 

 partner of Eockefeller in the Standard 

 Oil Co. 



E. C. Amling says he thinks the mar- 

 ket for mums quite a little weaker this 

 year than last, although he is getting 

 for his growers as much per square foot 

 of space as last year, which he says is 

 largely due to the fact that the stock is 

 the best ever. But Mr. Amling gays he 

 can trace back for years a steady annual 

 decline in the average prices of any 

 given grade of mums. He thinks it is
