has an effective display of Burbank's 

 new spineless cactus and cactus fruit. 



Trank Shibeley, of the Shibeley-Mann 

 Co., wholesale florists, reports a heavy 

 demand for florists' supplies from in- 

 terior towns.

State of Business. 



Everybody is ready to agree with the 

 other fellow that there is a steady in- 

 crease in trade, and September is going 

 to pay expenses. Funeral work has been 

 much in demand, and there is no limit to 

 that created by the matrimonial proces- 

 sion. A whole week of Indian summer 

 has strengthened the cut flower market 

 and the supply of roses meets the require- 

 ments of every occasion. The few car- 

 nations seen are good, but short-stemmed. 

 Outdoor stock is still plentiful and the 

 quality is all we can expect. 



Amoos tfa« Growers. 



We reduced our avoirdupois a few 

 pounds one delightful afternoon last week 

 by a long tramp across the city for the 

 purpose of noting what progress our 

 local growers had made. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. has added sub- 

 stantially to its range this year and the 

 house filled with adiantum and Whitmani 

 ferns attracted our heartiest admiration. 

 They were fine, handsome specimens and 

 looked like ready money. Everything on 

 the place, except the carnations, had de- 

 veloped a strong growth. Chrysanthemum 

 October Frost will be ready to cut in a 

 week. 



Eahn & Herbert, our wholesale grow- 

 ers, are prepared to do justice to their 

 patrons, for the place is planted with the 

 most desirable stock. Two houses of 

 chrysanthemums are immense and we 

 have yet to see their equal. They have a 

 splendid assortment of young plants for 

 the shipping trade, especially in the line 

 of ferns. We noticed that this firm had 

 also gone in more strongly for violets 

 this year, having built houses for that 

 purpose. 



The Martin & Forbes establishment is 

 always inviting and every department is 

 conducted on a thoroughly systematic 

 basis. The first chrysanthemums of the 

 season. Golden Glow, were cut here late 

 in August. Their bench of finely grown 

 cyclameif^would be hard to duplicate. In

fact, everything was looking thrifty, al- 

 though the same complaint was heard 

 here, and it seems to be general, that 

 carnations are a month late this year. 

 That there are exceptions in every case 

 is verified by the fine Enchantress now 

 being cut by F. A. Van Kirk. Starting 

 in the business three years ago with no 

 knowledge of their culture, Mr. Van Kirk 

 attributes his success to good soil and 

 constant attention. 



Thomas Ellingham, on the Base Line 

 road, was busy putting the finishing 

 touches on a new house, which, when com- 

 pleted, will increase his range 5,000 feet. 

 Mr. Ellingham grows for the wholesale 

 market and was so enthusiastic over the 

 profession that we almost forgot there 

 were yet five miles to Woodstock, where
