October 3, and half a dozen smaller ones 

 for the same date. ISot many cut flowers 

 are to be used at Field's this year, ex- 

 cept several wagon-loads of hydrangeas 

 cut from their nursery. 



The employees of the A. L, Randall 

 Co., and their friends, to the number of 

 about seventy-five, had a fine time at 

 Riessig's big red barn Saturday night, 

 September 26. There was an abun- 

 dance of refreshments and dancing con- 

 tinued until 1:15, when there was a 

 special car to bring the merrymakers 

 back to the city. Some of the costumes 

 were highly original. 



Wietor Bros, are beginning to cut Oc- 

 tober Frost. N. J. Wietor says it is 

 lucky they gave this variety and Mon- 

 rovia benches with plenty of head room, 

 because the warm September sent them 

 up to a prodigious height, and they are 

 flowering one to two weeks later than 

 last year. 



At E. H. Hunt's, C. M. Dickinson says 

 the supply business is also enjoying the 

 stimulus of autumn. 



The A. L. Randall Co. is mailing out 

 its new, enlarged supply catalogue this 

 week. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. is putting in a 

 line of the Wittbold watering apparatus, 

 and also a line of the Skinner system for 

 test on carnations. 



Peter Reinberg is still cutting quanti- 

 ties of the Mrs. Marshall Field rose, al- 

 though summer is its best time. 



'Percy Jones figures that there will be 

 fair business this month, but no great 

 rush until after we see which Bill is 

 counterfeit. 



E. E. Pieser acquired about a pound 

 a day in additional weight while on his 

 vacation. 



Zech & Mann are receiving Mrs. Mar- 

 shall Field from one of their growers. 



Kroeschell Bros. Co. says business is 

 good and that orders for greenhouse 

 boilers come from all parts of the coun 

 try. Here are some of the recent ones

The Market 



For a few days last week business 

 showed signs of improvement in the cut 

 flower line, but not sufficiently to say 

 that we are busy. . Window 4i8p^78 

 among the uptown florists are being in- 

 creased,,, sho;wing that there is niore life 



in the business. A good, all-day rain 

 September 27 cooled things considerably, 

 and frost will, of course, put an end to 

 most of the outdoor stock, which has 

 been coming in quite heavily. Prices on 

 first grade stock went up a little Septem- 

 ber 28. Roses are good in all varieties. 

 Brides and Maids are better, as well as 

 Richmond and Killarney. All grades of 

 Beauties sell well. Carnations are im- 

 proving each day and some extra good 

 blooms are now seen, but not extra long- 

 stemmed. Enchantress is among the 

 best. Asters are about over for this 

 season, only a few small ones coming in. 

 Extra fine valley is in the market, also 

 a few good white chrysanthemums, but 

 not many as yet. Smilax is in good de- 

 mand, also asparagus and fancy ferns. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Ammann, of Edwardsville, spent 

 a day in the city last week and says he 

 will be at the Springfield fair all this 

 week, where he will welcome all in the 

 trade who visit the fair. 



Mrs. William Ellison reports that since 

 her return from her vacation trip they 

 have been busy. They furnished a golden 

 wedding last week, which was a $500 

 job, and made a $100 casket-cover on 

 Saturday, September 26, of smilax and 

 white carnations. 



Adolph Brix says he is undecided as 

 to holding a free flower show next month. 

 If he does, he will show only stock from 

 his owa plant in the northern part of 

 the citjr. ,; .; . , . , . ,
