under the car. Both are in the Homeo- 

 pathic hospital, but the exact extent 

 of their injuries cannot be stated at 

 present, as there is fear of internal in- 

 juries, at least in the case of E. J., as 

 the wheels of the automobile passed 

 over his back. 



To Mr. and Mrs. Joe Byerly, a son. 

 Mr. Byerly is in the auditing depart- 

 ment at Randolph & McClements'. 



The A. W. Smith Co. has a hand- 

 some window of orchids, with a fine 

 basket of Oncidium varicosum in the 

 center. This firm has been compelled 

 to put on a night force, to take care 

 of their out-of-town orders which must 

 go on the early morning trains. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams displays once a 

 year a handsome window of yellow 

 dahlias and foliage plants. Last week 

 the display was yellow. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. has 

 been cutting quantities of cattleyas, 

 which find ready sale, as there have 

 been a number of large orders, calling 

 for good stock. 



Ernst Fischer, well known in this 

 vicinity, is now a member of the firm 

 of Fischer & Scheick, of Sharon, Pa., 

 who have purchased the business of M. 

 I. O'Brien, now retired. Mr. Fischer 

 is running the greenhouses. Every once 

 in a while we hear of a florist retiring, 

 but somehow none of them seem to 

 come from Pittsburgh. 



W. J. Smith, of the A. W. Smith Co., 

 has kept increasing his plant at Can- 

 field, O., until it now demands about all 

 his time, along with his other interests 

 there. 



There seems to be a scarcity of green- 

 house labor around this section. 



John Jones, foreman of the Schenley 

 conservatories, has returned from his 

 vacation. He visited Chicago and some 

 Canadian points and had some amusing 

 experiences — but ask him. 



Oeorge Burke, superintendent of 

 Schenley park, is already planning the 

 finest chrysanthemum show ever seen 

 in this city. He has a number of things 

 which will be just right about that 

 time. Hoo-Hoo.

The Market. 



With a full week of dark, wet and 

 cool weather, the supply of stock has 

 been short of the demand. The heavy 

 rains put an end to asters, and greatly 

 reduced the supply of gladioli. As a

result everything in the line of cut 

 flowers of fair quality has found ready 

 sale. While the daily receipts contain 

 some new carnations, the supply is lim- 

 ited and of only fair quality. Mums 

 have made their debut and it will not 

 be long before that flower will again 

 reign supreme. In roses the supply has 

 been about equal to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



At the recent Wisconsin State Fair 

 H. W. Koerner again proved to be it 

 with his dahlias and gladioli. Currie 

 Bros. Co. also took their share of prizes, 

 as usual at the state fair. Local flo- 

 rists did not, owing no doubt to the 

 scarcity of stock, plant flower beds for 

 competition at the fair. At the last 

 moment the fair board had some beds 

 planted because they did not like the 

 looks without them. 



Gust Rusch, of the Gust Rusch Co., 

 had his right wrist broken a short 

 time ago when the auto he was crank- 

 ing kicked. From last reports the dis- 

 abled member is getting along as well 

 as can be expected. 



This is style week for the great de- 

 partment stores and most of them are 

 decorated with greens, decorative plants

and cut flowers. The Aug. F. Kellner 

 Co., which makes that work a specialty, 

 was rushed to the top notch Saturday 

 night and all day Sunday. A lot of 

 out-of-town visitors are expected, which 

 ought to help the retailing some. 



A. Hare, of the Holton & Hunkel 

 Co., returned September 18 from a 

 week's sojourn at South Norwood and 

 Dayton, O. His company reports ship- 

 ping trade as opening up well. 



Thursday, October 3, -the monthly 

 meeting of the Florists' Club will be 

 held at the Blatz hotel and the presi- 

 dent earnestly desires a large attend- 

 ance, as matters of importance are to 

 be discussed. E. O. 



The range of glass of the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co. is in excellent condition. In
