ably well, and has made a great differ- 

 ence in the appearance of stock. There 

 are a great many outdoor chrysanthe- 

 mums in bloom, owing to the warm 

 weather, and this, of course, is a detri- 

 ment to business. Things, however, are 

 brightening up somewhat for Thanksgiv- 

 ing, although in this city Thanksgiving, 

 in the way of business, does not mean 

 much to the florists, and their complaint 

 is that the customers spend all their 

 surplas cash on their Thanksgiving din- 

 ner and don't allow much more than 50 

 cents for a table bouquet. There are 

 some fine callas on the market now, but 

 giganteums are a little scarce. 



Varioua Notes. 



The Miami Floral Co. will, in a week 

 or two, break ground for the erection of 

 five new houses, 240 feet long, and a new 

 cement boiler-room. They are cutting 

 some fine callas, roses and carnations. 

 C. J. Briggs, of Sidney, 0., was a visitor 

 to their plant November 16. 



Chas. E. Pease, president of the Miami 

 Floral Cf^ , was called to Demopolis, Ala., 

 last week, on account of one of his cot- 

 ton mills burning down. 



George M. Garland and wife, of Des 

 Plaines, 111., were the guests of Mr. and 

 Mrs. Geo. W. Bartholomew on Novem- 

 ber 12. 



S. Hodges and Miss Louella Hodges, 

 of Cincinnati, O., were the guests of 

 Miss Euby Bartholomew on November 

 21. 



The Dayton Floral Co, has experienced 

 a streak of hard luck with its gera- 

 nium cuttings this season, having lost 

 about 10,000 cuttings in the sand. There 

 seems to have been a little egg in the 

 cutting, which hatched into a little worm, 

 and this creature ate into the cutting and 

 killed it. If any of our readers know 

 anything about this little creature, re- 

 garding its origin, its nature or any way 

 to dispose of it, the Dayton Floral Co. 

 would be glad to he9.r from them. 



W. G. Matthews hAs recently imported 

 a boxwood tree froiii Holland, which is 

 trimmed in a shape to represent a foun- 

 tain. It has been on exhibition in front 

 of his store and has attracted a great 

 deal of attention. 



Eay and Herbert Bartholomew, Eoy 

 Ewings and Boy Tice, employees of the 

 Miami Floral Co., spent a lew days of 

 last week on a hunting trip. They were 

 well repaid for the time spent. Rabbit 

 and quail were enjoyed by their friends, 

 who hope they will take a similar trip 

 in the near future. 



H. H. Eitter says he has several large 

 dinner decorations for Thanksgiving, but 

 all call for chrysanthemums. They are 

 picking some fine violets now, for which 

 they find ready sale. E. A. B.
