junction with the show of the field crop 

 production organization. A fine show 

 and a good program are expected. 



Mrs. R. A. Latham died October 18, 

 after a long illness. Funeral services 

 were held October 20 at Lakewood 

 chapel, Minneapolis. A large number 

 of florists attended. 



P. Clausen, the veteran florist of 

 Albert Lea, has gone to California to 

 make his home. His son, G. A. Clausen, 

 will continue to manage the business of 

 the Lake Shore Greenhouses. L. C. 



FHIIiADELPHIA. 



Wanted — Frost! 



The week opened well. The market 

 was active, with heavy shipping orders, 

 many of them for large weddings. The 

 supply of flowers increased steadily. By 

 the middle of the week it became evi- 

 dent that there were too many and the 

 market broke. There was a slight rally 

 Friday, October 21, but at the close of 

 business Saturday, October 22, prices 

 were low. The dahlias recovered from 

 the frosts of ten days ago, when the 

 leaves were nipped. They are good and 

 quite plentiful. The buyers are tiring 

 of them, because they can obtain va- 

 riety and good value with the mid-sea- 

 son chrysanthemums, now at their 

 height. The wholesalers want dahlias 

 to make up their assortment, but they 

 are hard to sell. The mid-season chrys- 

 anthemums are excellent and for that 

 reason they sell well. Richmond is a 

 great yellow. Oconto leads in white. 

 Pompons are in crop and will remain so 

 for a month. Those grown under glass 

 are best. Of the other flowers, all are 

 in fair crop and generally of good qual- 

 ity. It is often difficult to market them. 

 This makes prices irregular. 



Pennocks Awarded Cup. 



The sports committee of the Philadel- 

 phia Florists' Club, composed of George 

 Aeugle, Walter Davis, Harry C. Eisele 

 and Fred J. Michell, Jr., have awarded 

 the silver cup presented by the club's 

 president, Alfred M. Campbell, emblematic 

 to the team representing the S. S. Pen- 

 nock Co. There was no regular schedule. 

 Six teams played fifteen games in all 

 alfresco. The teams represented the 

 Bickmore Greenhouses, the Robert 

 Craig Co., the Independent Wholesalers, 

 the Leo Niessen Co., the M. Rice Co. 

 and the S. S. Pennock Co. The commit- 

 tee decided that the Pennock team, 

 which was unbeaten, having won four 

 games and lost none, was the victor. 

 The Pennock team was composed of 

 Copestakes and Swan, as the battery; 

 Cox, Kilgallen and Kennedy on the 

 bases; Doughton, short stop; Gaul, Cul- 

 bertson and Jamison in the field; Dee- 

 gan and Silverman utility men. The cup 

 becomes the property of the team win- 

 ning it three times. 



The Show at the Academy. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was 

 held in its rooms in the Finance build- 

 ing, October 18. In the absence of 

 President Boyd, Vice-President Stout 

 waa in the chair. The plans for the fall 

 show, to be held in the Academy of 

 Music November 7 to 9, were discussed. 

 While the parquet in the academy will 

 be floored over and all space that the 

 fire underwriters will permit is to be 

 utilized, there will not be as much room

as in the old Horticultural hall that was 

 formerly next door. The gardeners who 

 were present said that there would be 

 some fine stock, notably chrysanthe- 

 mums, ready when the exhibition opens. 



Three charitable organizations have ar- 

 ranged to send out 10,000 admission 

 tickets at $1 each. This will be done 

 on a fifty-fifty basis and is considered 

 an excellent advertisement.
