n 



trade here, and is always a welcome 

 visitor. 



It was estimated that nearly $2,000 

 was spent with florists for floral offer- 

 ings on the opening day of the new 

 Mechanics National Bank. Designs of 

 every description and great bunches of 

 Beauties and chrysanthemums filled every 

 available space. 



George Ostertag is back at his work 

 as superintendent of parks, as Park Com- 

 missioner Scanlan has returned from his 

 southern trip. 



Ostertag Bros, put in a busy week 

 decorating. They furnished the recep- 

 tion, at the St. Louis Club, to the Japan- 

 ese commission. This was a large affair 

 and used up a lot of stock. J. J. B.

The Market 



We have been having charming autumn 

 weather, with the customary stimulating 

 effect on the trade. Material has been 

 fairly abundant and of fair quality, and 

 was easily moved. Saturday night, No- 

 vember 13, found all stock pretty well 

 cleaned up without much pressure. There 

 was a large amount sold on the streets 

 that was of the poorest quality seen in 

 years. 



This week has seen some of the best 

 roses so far this season. Bride, Brides- 

 maid and Chatenay are good. Killarney 

 is gaining in popularity every day on ac- 

 count of its splendid keeping qualities. 

 Carnations are improving wonderfully. 

 Enchantress bids fair to again attain the 

 popularity of last season. Violets are 

 showing up fairly well, but the weather 

 is almost too warm to expect anything 

 extra just at present. Any number of 

 cyclamen can be seen just now in the 

 windows, and find a ready sale. Ferns 

 are selling well, especially the ones in 

 6-inch pans. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Eichholz, of Waynesboro, Pa.,

A large number of the florists went 

 over to Washington Tuesday, November

 sidered the best ever shown there. Q.
