tleya has come to bo in such wide de- 

 mand it takes a good crop to go around 

 in times of any special call jfor choice 

 flowers. 



Narcissus has dropped with a thud, 

 and stevia, both double and single, is 

 too abundant to command appreciation. 

 Of tlie left-over violets that reach the 



street brigade the less said the sooner 

 mended. Chrysanthemums are few, and 

 few of these are cared for. The sea- 

 son has been a long one and there should 

 be no complaining as they join the pro- 

 cession of the past, and are forgotten 

 for the season. 



The plant situation is decidedly health- 



ful. Already the stores are being stocked 

 conservatively and handsomely with flow- 

 ering plants. The medium sizes and 

 prices are everywhere popular. The old 

 days of azaleas at $50 and $100 are 

 now but a memory. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club meets December 14, 

 the last gathering for the year, and a 

 most important one. Secretary Young 

 will stage and care for all exhibits, as 

 usual. The venerable C. L. Allen, of 

 Floral Park, will address the club on 

 "Plant Development," and the new of- 

 ficers will be elected. The gentlemen 

 running for these official positions are 

 among the cream of the membership. 

 A fair amount of good-natured competi- 

 tion seems assured. The end of it ■will 

 be harmony and progress. Chairman 

 Rickards says the season demands a tur- 

 key collation, 



Thursday, December 10, by order of 

 the court, there will be an auction of 

 the assets of the Fleischman Floral Co., 

 at the store at Broadway and Twenty- 

 fifth street. 



A big Broadway flower store is said 

 to have been leased to a shoe firm for 

 occupancy immediately after Easter. 



The express companies have raised 

 their rates one-fifth. The Public Serv- 

 ice Commission bulletins 60 cents per 

 hundred pounds, formerly 50 cents, and 

 specifies the American and National Ex- 

 press Companies. 



Mengham & Westwood have the decora- 

 tion for an elaborate wedding at Sher- 

 ry's, December 10. These gentlemen 

 were at one time on the Thorley staff.
