One of the big palm growers of Ruth- 

 erford reports a venture into palm and 

 fern growing by a prominent New York 

 retailer who has houses at Secaucus. 



F. Lautenschlager, of Kroeschell 's, 

 Chicago, is in the city, having made a 

 trip to Washington, Bsdtimore and Phila- 

 delphia since the convention. Business is 

 good, he says, and the outlook inspiring. 

 The more optimists among the road mer- 

 chants, the better. Another dispenser of 

 hope in town September 18 was Paul 

 Berkowitz, of Philadelphia. 



Rosen's is receiving some excellent 

 wild smilax and the fall weddings are 

 absorbing it greedily.

 Botjer and Miessem. The affair was a 

 great success. Henry Eike was in charge 

 of the fine exhibit of the Stumpp & 

 Walter Co.

The Market 



Roses are more plentiful and are im- 

 proving in both color and stem. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are making their appear- 

 ance in this market again. They have 

 been quite scarce this summer. Carna- 

 tions are scarce as yet, but the plants in 

 the houses are in fine shape and will soon 

 give fine flowers. Asters are done with 

 this season S^d. it has been the poorest 

 aster season that we have seen for five 

 years. Gladioli are also almost out of 



the market, but a few can be seen in the 

 downtown store windows. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are looking fine and good buds are 

 forming on the early varieties. 



Business is rather quiet with some of 

 the stores, but we are looking forward to 

 a good fall. Some of the department 

 stores are handling ferns in great quan- 

 tities. We think that they will take in 

 horseshoeing next. The early planted 

 Easter lilies are making a fine growth; 

 some are five inches tall.
