MANCHESTER, MASS. 



A premature explosion of dynamite, 

 December 3, on the estate of Philip. Dex- 

 ter. Manchester, Mass., killed two well- 

 known citizens of that town. One of 

 them, .John Baker, was treasurer of the 

 North Shore Horticultural Society. Mr. 

 Bfikor's body was torn in pieces and 



hurled over 100 feet from tSe...a$ene of 

 the explosion. The deceased was for six- 

 teen years superintendent for the Essex 

 County Club, only resigning last summer. 

 He was identified with the Odd Fellows, 

 United Workmen and other fraternal or- 

 ganizations, and was. greatly esteemed 

 along the North Shore. W, N. C. 



CXEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Last week showed a falling off in the 

 receipts of cut flowers, especially mums, 

 which have seen their day and soon will 

 be a thing of the past. The shortening 

 of all flowers is noticeable, and there 

 will no doubt be advances in prices of 

 all cut flowers soon. Prices so far this 

 season have been far below those of pre- 

 ceding years, and a stronger demand, 

 which means better prices, will surely be 

 welcomed by the growers. The quality 

 of cut flowers sent in daily is above the 

 average for this time of the year, ex- 

 cept in Beauties, whkh are rather poor 



and scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Albrecht & Smith, of Erie street, re- 

 port a good week, having had a great 

 many large funeral orders. 



Milford Parks is having a fine run on 

 his fern pans, made up of green sea- 

 moss, having filled some large orders 

 for out-of-town trade. 



The demand for Christmas greens, etc., 

 has opened up and has the appearance 

 of being as good as last season. 



The movement of violets has taken a 

 bad drop. There was no demand for 

 them last week. 



Steinbrenner & Son, of Detroit street, 

 arc sending in a good cut of stevia 

 to the Cleveland Cut Flower Co. 



George W. Mercer is a heavy buyer of 

 Christmas greens, using large quantities 

 for the wholesale trade. 



The Calla Cut Flower Co. is shipping 

 some good carnations to this market. 



Visitors: Martin Reukauf, of H. Bay- 

 orsdorf er & Co. ; C. Schwake, Charles 

 Meyer. B. 



Waterbury, Conn. — Olson & Lunden, 

 of Southington, have opened an up-to- 

 date flower store at 143 East Main street. 

 Earle S. Bavier, formerly with Sidney 

 Hoffman, Boston, is in charge. 



Denver, Colo. — Louis A. Kintzele, 

 formerly a member of the firm of Eant- 

 zele Bros., in Michigan City, Ind., has 

 started in business in this city, with his 

 store at 5249 West Thirty-eighth ave- 

 nue. He will make a specialty of carna- 

 tions and mums, but will also handle a 

 general line of stock.
