State of Trade. 



Trade is somewhat on the mend. While 

 funeral work has not been extra heavy, 

 there have been a great many fall open- 

 ings, which have used up a good lot of 

 stock, both in plants for decorating and 

 in cut flowers. One of the most notable 

 of the fall openings was that of the new 

 Columbus Grocery Co., on the east side 

 of the city, classed as one of the finest 

 stores in the country. They have also 

 added a cut flower department and will 

 sell plants, etc. They opened for busi- 

 ness September 21. 



Roses are fine now, of good color and 

 good stem and foliage. Carnations are 

 getting more plentiful, but good, long 

 stock is still scarce, although the outlook 

 is good for the near future, both in quan- 

 tity and quality. Asters are about done; 

 the dry weather of the last six weeks 

 or more has told on all outdoor stock.
