Little '^Mikc/* smallest of the three '* Plant 

 Stand Brothers/' addresses Society American 

 Florists, with greetings to all: 



The Noore-{iiTliig8toii Adjasttble Plant Stand (Patented) 



"HullyGee!" Look at me, 



I'm the "littlest" of the three, 



But with a "fetch," I can stretch 



Just my double, don't you see ? 



Winners we — where'er we be 



In plant display, o'er land and sea. 



There are two others, "bigger" brothers, 



Built on lines just same as me. 



Jim's number two. Bill's number three. 



And we're hot after any job we can see, 



Holding up flower pots full of show. 



For that's what we re built for, don't you know ? 



Those who have us think we're great. 



Because with the three of us they can make 



Plant stands, in inches, from six to forty-eight.

sort. The only menace after Tuesday 

 will be the extraordinary shipments of 

 mums. Of these there is apparently no 

 end, and prices are cut in two in com- 

 parison with other years. They have 

 completely demoralized the market. 

 Much of the unsatisfactory condition of 

 things may be attributed to the heat. 

 Those who have devoted their houses to 

 the best varieties only are reaping a 

 fair reward. The second and lower 

 grades cannot demand even the bare cost 

 of their production. 



There was considerable waste in car- 

 nations last week. This cannot continue 

 with the perfect stock now arriving. 

 Valley is abundant. Some mignonette 

 is coming in, also callas and snapdragons, 

 but they look lonesottie yet. Cosmos still, 

 helps to beautify the retail windows. 

 Sweet peas begin to demand notice again 

 and will soon be abundant. A. C. Zvol- 

 anek is sending some of his new kinds 

 to J. K. Allen, as usual. Smilax is im- 

 proving and abundant. 



A good many wholesalers are handling 



chrysanthemum plants, but there is not a 

 ready sale for them and some of them 

 look sadly out of place in New York. 



Orchids are abundant. Prices still are 

 low, but the November weddings and re- 

 ceptions are here and they may climb. 

 Gardenias, too, are in the limelight. 

 These two are the special pets of the 

 Four Hundred. 



Variottt Notes. 



The special car for the national show 

 didn't materialize, but there will be a 

 good number of New Yorkers going, 

 some of our notables among them. 



The next meeting of the Florists' Club 

 will be held Monday evening, November 

 9, at the rooms in the Grand Opera 

 House building, on West Twenty-third 

 street. The nominating committee will 

 bring in its report. The Bowling Club 

 will meet at its alleys that day at 3 

 p. m. The club's smoker, Mr. Rickards 

 says, will have a program November 18, 

 that will open their eyes. 



W. E. Marshall made an excellent 

 marshal of the florists' and seedsmen's 

 brigade in the business men's parade 

 October 31, Messrs. Saltford and Trum- 

 pour being his lieutenants, and A. J. 

 Guttman the standard bearer. 



This week flower shows are on at Red 

 Bank, Glen Cove and Tarrytown. Next 

 week the mum show in the Berkeley 

 Lyceum in this city and November 17 to 

 19 comes the great flower show in the 

 Museum of National History, under the 

 auspices of the Horticultural Society of 

 New York. There will be a large at- 

 tendance of gardeners.
