in greenhouses which he believes the best 

 thing out for the purpose. 



Eobert Crawford, Jr., is rapidly push- 

 ing work to completion in the alterations 

 in his Eleventh street store, which he as- 

 sures me will be pretty. Judging the fu- 

 ture by the past, this statement can be 

 cordially endorsed. 



Frank L. Politis has returned from a 

 trip to a number of places of interest, 

 and is now ready to take charge of his 

 many varied business places. 



William C. Herbert, Atco, N. J., set 

 September 10 as the date when the dahlia 

 will become an important factor in the 

 wholesale cut flower market. 



Mrs. Sarah I. Smith, Secane, Pa., who 

 has been at Atlantic City for two months 

 since leaving the hospital, is steadily 

 gaining strength; in fact, Mrs. Smith is 

 so much better that she is planning a 

 vigorous campaign for the coming season. 

 The success of her greenhouses during 

 the spring and summer made a good rest 

 and complete recovery possible at the 

 city by the sea, because when things are 

 going well they are off their mind, you 

 know.

The Market. 



Trade is rather quiet, with only a little 

 funeral work now and then. Stock has 

 been rather scarce. Carnations are not 

 to be had at present, but some growers 

 think they will be cutting from new stock 

 in about ten days. Eoses have been fair. 

 Some stock from young plants has been 

 short stemmed, but has carried fair buds. 

 Some fairly good Killarney are to be 

 seen. Asters are plentiful, but of poor 

 quality, a great many coming in with

 to be much better. Gladioli are still 

 plentiful, but demand is light. Lilies 

 are in good demand and good supply. 

 Ferns and palms have been moving 

 nicely. 



Various Notes. 



A small crowd attended the convention 

 from here. Although it was expected 

 that at least twenty-five would go, there 

 were only about ten, but they all report 

 a good time. A number of members 

 stopped here on their way home. 



Charles W. Mc^ellar and wife, of 

 Chicago, stopped here for a day or two 

 to visit his brother, James. They also 

 stopped at Greenfield and Chillicothe, to 

 visit his sisters. 



E. Metzmeier has all his carnations 

 housed and they are looking fine. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- 

 ting some good roses from young stock. 



They also have a nice lot of lilies. They 

 cut their first mums a few days ago. 



Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Roth report hav- 

 ing a fine trip out to the coast, but they 

 say Ohio is good enough for them. 



Gus Ackerman has been cutting some 

 roses which are extra fine for this time 

 of the year. J. M. 



Sterling, III. — The Sterling Floral 

 Co. is erecting another greenhouse, a 

 glass covered building, 24x120, just south 

 of its other buildings in the first ward. 

 The new building is for raising of carna- 

 tions exclusively. 



Clifton Springs, N. Y. — Mrs. George 

 C. Raymond, who has been in the flo- 

 rists' trade here for several years, has 

 sold her greenhouses, with the residence 

 and lot adjoining, to J. W. Kellogg, of 

 Canandaigua, who will conduct the busi- 

 ness.
