Mention The Review when you write. 



w^ile stock still was scarce, and regarded 

 it as something of an accomplishment. 



C. L. Washburn says that he does not 

 know of any recent introduction among 

 chrysanthemums that was of more im- 

 portance than the dissemination of Vir- 

 ginia Poehlmann, the white sport of 

 Mme. Sahut. It is a fine commercial 

 variety and all the growers who have it 

 this year will plant it more largely next 

 season. 



August Poehlmann stated one day last 

 week that they were not yet cutting from 

 more than one-fourth of their place. 

 Perhaps the proportion has been in- 

 creased in the last few days, but there 

 is yet to come a large increase in the 

 market's supply through the bringing 

 into crop of the rest of their glass. 



Sweet peas are again in the market 

 and it will not be long before the sup- 

 ply is large. E. H. Hunt had two ship- 

 pers who began last week, and others 

 who called attention to peas this week 

 were "Weiland & Eisch and E. C. Am- 

 ling. Doubtless others have them. 



Joseph Foerster is now with the J. B. 

 Deamud Co. 



A. P. I'rey, whose place at Crown 

 Point is known as the Eose Lawn Nur- 

 series, is growing primulas and other 

 plants for the trade. He has some fine 

 strains. 



;' Wietor Bros, are cutting the Mrs. 

 Jardine rose in only limited quantity as 

 yet, but say it lobks well. 



C. W. McK^llar says he sold as many 

 as 600 cattley?^s in a single day last 

 week, but that the demand here is not 

 sufficient to consume the overflow from 

 the eastern markets. 



The J. A. Budlong establishment is 



better pleased each season with the use 

 of grafted rose stock. Several new va- 

 rieties of roses are being tried this year. 



Percy Jones says all the available 

 space in the Flower Growers' market is 

 rented. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. says wild smilax 

 is selling better than "tame" greens, 

 for the indoor stock is going a little 

 slow since the fall openings. 



John Zech says October is a much 

 better month for Zech & Mann than it 

 was a year ago. 



F. F. Benthey reports Killarney as 

 selling out quickly, while Maid is slow 

 and Bride accumulates. 



The Thompson Carnation Co. affairs 

 were again in court at Joliet, beginning 

 October 16.

Plymouth, Mass. — C. T. Stevens has 

 bought the flower store at 10 Court 

 street, formerly run by F. H. Lanman, 

 and will run it in connection with his 

 greenhouses. The store is being re- 

 modeled and thoroughly overhauled. 



Nanticoke, Pa. — The Park Floral Co., 

 whose greenhouses are located in Dewy 

 Park, has opened a branch store on Main 

 street, in the building formerly occupied 

 by the Y. M. C. A. Miss Eldredge, an 

 experienced designer of Wilkes-Barre, 

 has been placed in charge of the cut 

 flower work in this store. The members 

 of the company are Harry Cornell, of 

 this city, and Edwin Salyer, who was 

 connected with the Marvin Floral Co., 

 of Wilkes-Barre, for ten years. 



DETROIT. 



There is no Detroit news letter this 

 week, the state of the market and all 

 other considerations being overshadowed 

 by a piece of news that so engrosses the 

 attention of the correspondent, Hugo 

 Schroeter, that he finds himself in the 

 same position as the country newspaper 

 man famed in the annals of newspaper- 

 dom, who, when a big story ' ' broke out ' ' 

 in his town, could only reply to the met- 

 ropolitan editor's wire for a report: 

 "All is excitement; can send nothing." 

 The fact is, B. Schroeter is now a grand- 

 father. 



The young florist arrived at the home 

 of Hugo Schroeter Monday morning, Oc- 

 tober 19. Both mother and child are 

 doing finely. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



Trade in the cut flower line was fairly 

 good last week, still not what it should 

 be, as we are having unusual weather for 

 this time of the year. The cool weather 

 has turned to midsummer warmth and, 

 if it keeps up, the flower market will 

 suffer severely. As it is now, chrysan- 

 themum blooms are crowding roses and 

 carnations and prices are considerably 

 lower on all grades. All the who^e- 

 salfers are receiving heavy sliipmepts of 

 mums. Monrovia, Polly Kose and Glory 

 of Pacific, ftJso Bergmann, are among 

 the varieties in. 



Eoses almost could be called a glut, 

 including Beauties, Eichmond and Kil- 

 larney. Bride and Maid are of fine 

 quality, but prices in all grades are
