street retail store of Thomas Young, Jr., 

 October 31, a cross of valley and roses 

 and a standing wreath of orchids being 

 especially good. Mr. Young's handsome 

 store on Fifth avenue is never without 

 most attractive window embellishment, 

 orchids and chrysanthemums now making 

 the millionaires sit up and take notice 

 as they ride by. 



The Chrysanthemum Society of Ameri- 

 ca is h.olding its annual exhibition and 

 convention here this week. 



Central park is having a big flower 

 show this week. 



The banks that shut up the funds of 

 many florists, so they say, are all open- 

 ing again. 



Frank L. Moore is much interested in 

 the hose business. Sunnywoods hose is 

 a brand he liked so well for his own 

 use, he decided to see what he could do 

 toward getting florists, general) v, to use 

 it. 



The Fellouris business is being contin- 

 ued under the direction of the referee 

 in bankruptcy. The liabilities so fjir 

 scheduled amount to only $3,142.59, ex- 

 cluding a contingent liability of $8,750 

 for rent of 52 West Twenty-eighth 

 street, all the creditors, except two whose 

 claim is for wages, residing outside of 

 Xew York.. 



F. W. O. Schmitz's importation of 

 azaleas has .i"st arrived, spendidly de- 

 veloped stock and in fine condition. 



II. E. Froment 's big store is a fall ex- 

 hibition every morning with mums and 

 Beauties. The new wholesalers' organi- 

 zation meets with his hearty cooperation 

 and approval. 



Lecakes & Co. will have some holly for 

 Thanksgiving, as usual. 



H. Kenney, Brooklyn, has stored an 

 enormous quantity of sphagnum, sheet 

 and green moss this fall in anticipation 

 of a big fall and winter demand. The 

 wholesale shipments of moss reach into 



the thousands between this and Christ- 

 mas. 



Russin & Hanfling are doing a big 

 trade in baskets this fall, their own man- 

 ufacture, and they have some unique and 

 new practical designs. 



The National Florists' Board of Trade 

 has grown rapidly during the last year. 



George Cotsonas is receiving daily im- 



faiVERY now and then a well 

 !=9l pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a new 

 advertiser to 



p 



Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' tise 

 not at present advertised. 



FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 

 530-60 Caxton BIdg. Chicago 



mense quantities of fancy ferns from his 

 force of sixteen gatherers in New Eng- 

 land. 



Sigmund Geller, of the Geller Supply 

 Co., brought some interesting novelties 

 from Europe and the last of his importa- 

 tions are arriving. The outside call for 



florists' supplies shows no sign of dimi- 

 nution. This is the testimony of every 

 house in the trade. 



The demand for John P. Scherer's oak 

 leaf roping for large decorations keeps 

 up and will until winter's icy hand strips 

 the trees of their foliage. 



Reed & Keller say they are away be- 

 hind in shipments and their books are 

 full of advance orders. The invention 

 factor}-, too, is working overtime;* 



Charles Millang is again busy with his 

 plant trade and has filled his greenhouse 

 with a fine assortment of palms and 

 ferns. 



B. S. Slinn, Jr., says his violets now 

 are quite up to the season 's highest grade 

 and that he has already booked orders 

 for 100,000 for Thanksgiving.

DETROIT. 



The Market. 



A period of quiet seems to have come 

 over the business in this city. There 

 are any number of funerals, but there 

 is not much work being done. Weddings 

 are calling for a number of good decora- 

 tions, but not enough to keep all busy. 



Chrysanthemums cleaned up well all 

 the week, with the exception of yellows, 

 which are a glut on the market, just 

 as in other years. Good whites are 

 scarce; it is a wonder that some of the 

 growers do not wake up after all these 

 years of teaching. Pink just about meets 

 the demand. Grasshoppers are destroy- 

 ing many chrysanthemums this year, as 

 usual. 



Beauties are moving fairly well; the 

 $5 grade is about the best seller on 

 this market. Roses are not at their best 

 at present. La Detroit is producing 

 small flowers. Bride and Maid are still 

 none too good. Some fine long-stemmed
