They say that Mr. Kellogg 's place is in 

 excellent condition. The verbena king 

 says that business is quiet in Clay Cen- 

 ter, but he 13 looking forward to a good 

 trade for spring. He is making large 

 preparations to meet all demands. 



We are sorry to have to report the 

 death of Miss Julia Dalley, who with 

 her sister, Miss Maria Dalley, formerly 

 conducted a flower store on Eleventh 

 street near Walnut. They have not 

 been in business since last spring. The 

 building their store was in has been torn 

 down and is being replaced by a larger 

 one. Miss Dalley 's funeral was held 

 at the Trinity Episcopal church, Friday, 

 November 15. Miss Dalley leaves a 

 large circle of friends. The high esteem 

 in which she was held was shown by the 

 profusion of beautiful floral offerings.

VAYSIDE NOTES. 



Mrs. Robt. B. Stiles, of Petersburg, 

 Va., has recently completed a fine range 

 of glass upon her new property. Busi- 

 ness is good, with prospects of an active 

 season. .Judging from present appear- 

 ances, it will not be long ere all stock 

 will be grown right at home. 



Henry Steinnietz, of Ealeigh, N. C, 

 has added new houses and rebuilt sev- 

 eral old ones. A leader with him is 

 Magnolia grandiflora, of which he raises 

 a big stock in all sizes. 



J. L. O'Quinn & Co., of Baleigh, 

 report an excellent season, with increas- 

 ing demand for high-class stock. 



The Dillworth Park Gardens, of Char- 

 lotte, N. C, cater to the best trade and 

 make an attractive display, which catches 

 and pays. 



Chas, A. Moss, of Spartanburg, S. C, 

 is considering the purchase of a &ie loca- 

 tion, with the intention of either remov- 

 ing his old plant or building a new one. 

 He reports a splendid business and says 

 some of his success is due to the up-to- 

 date ideas conveyed through the col- 

 umns of the Review. He gave a mum 

 show recently and had specimen blooms 

 that would have taken premiums at the 

 big shows. W.

The Market. 



Last week was one of disappointments, 

 as business was just about as bad as it 

 could be. The business of the stores 

 was practically at a standstill and, with 

 a large quantity of stock coming into 

 the wholesale houses every day, prices 

 started toward the bottom. It was not 

 until Saturday that there were any signs 

 of a relief. Then a fairly good demand 

 made itself felt, and large quantities 

 of flowers were moved off at good prices, 

 especially when compared with those of 

 a few days previous. There was no 

 demand for funeral flowers or any other 

 kind, and though we expect a let-up in 

 business at this time of the year, still 

 we were not quite ready for what hap- 

 pened. The demand is not much so far 

 this week, but it seems that the glut of 

 mums is over and that those left will be 

 very good stock. 



Roses of all varieties, with the excep- 

 tion of Beauties, are coming in heavily, 

 and many go by the job lot. Carnations 

 are still holding their own, with the ex- 

 ception of whites, which are moving 



slowly. Carnations are beginning to 

 come more strongly, and it looks as if we 

 will be well supplied with them for 

 Thanksgiving. Violets are increasing in 

 supply and selling fairly well. Other 

 flowers are about as last reported. Box- 

 wood will soon be in the market, and, 

 judging from the advance orders, it will 

 be much in demand this season. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Smith, of Grand Rapids, is 

 sending some good mums to this market. 



C. P. Dieterich & Bro., Maysville, Ky., 

 are in with single violets that are good 

 and sell well. 



Ed Ellison, who for many years has 

 been conducting a small range of glass 

 on Biddle street, Clifton, one of the 

 suburbs of this city, has settled up his 

 affairs and left for England. He is a 

 native of that country and for many 

 years has been planning to go /here to 

 spend the rest of his life. He was quite 

 a character among the florists of this 

 city and was well known by all of them. 

 He made roses a specialty and grew La 

 France as his main crop, which he did 

 especially well. He never changed the 

 stock, but grew the same plants year 

 after year. For years he has lived in 

 the potting shed, with no other com- 

 panions than his cats, of which he had a 

 great many. He made a good deal of 

 money at the business, but spent it all 

 trying to perfect some sort of a boat, 

 which proved to be a failure. 



J. T. Conger, of Hartwell, 0., was 

 elected to the council in that city at the 

 last election. 



Weiland & Olinger have made a fine 

 record at the fall shows, in several beating
