are more plentiful than any other flower 

 at present. Some fine Sunburst, Aaron 

 Ward, Shawyer, Mrs. Russell, Killarney 

 and Richmond are in the market. Chrys- 

 anthemums are making a good showing. 

 The best varieties at present are Chryso- 

 lora, October Frost, Unaka, Smith 's Ad- 

 vance and Robinson. These sell ex- 

 tremely well. Carnations are improving 

 daily, although they are not as vigorous 

 as they will be in a few weeks. Violets 

 are coming in slowly. Antirrhinums and 

 marguerites are of good quality. 



The fall weddings and funeral work 

 •constitute the greater part of the busi- 

 ness, counter sales being slack. Fall 

 openings and displays create a demand 

 for flowers in large quantities. The 

 wholesale m'JCfltfet is slow, due to the de- 

 pression caused by the war. The public 

 apparently is following conservative 

 lines, preferring to save on luxuries as 

 much as possible until more certain as 

 to the effect of the European war in 

 this country. The splendid crops har- 

 vested throughout the middle west have 

 encouraged the florists in this part of 

 the country, as they expect that the 

 farmers' prosperity will help general 

 business materially. 



Various Notes. 



The New Haven Floral Co. is cutting 

 some excellent chrysanthemums, and 

 this firm's carnations, too,' are exceed- 

 ingly good for this season of the year. 



Frank Knecht & Co. report that their 

 stock is in splendid condition. The car- 

 nation plants are in fine shape and are 

 sending forth good flowers. Chrysan- 

 themums and roses also are first-class. 



Some splendid Chrysolora are seen in 

 the conservatories of the Flick Floral 

 Co., as well as October Frost and Robin- 

 son. This firm has had several large 

 decorations lately, including the deco- 

 ration for the fall opening of Wolf & 

 Dessauer's department store. Great 

 quantities of flowers were used and some 

 lovely autumn effects were gained in the 

 decorations. 



Cattleyas of extra good quality are 

 being cut at the greenhouses of W. J. & 

 M. 8. Vesey; also roses, chrysanthemums 

 and other seasonable flowers. 



Mrs. Cecil Max, of Mobile, Ala., has 

 arrived in the city to take charge of the 

 home of her father. Judge W. J. Vesey, 

 in the absence of Miss Margaret Vesey, 

 who is enjoying & trip to Florida. 



Miss C. B. Flick and Miss Mildred 

 nick returned recently from a trip 

 abroad. They were detained several 

 weeks in Lucerne, Switzerland, during 

 the mobilization of the troops, but 

 escaped any extraordinary hardship in 

 Europe aad sailed on time. Beyond the 

 disappointment of missing a part of their 

 proposed itinerary, which included Ger-
