Hayes to the lower store of the Henry F. 

 Michell Co. some time ago, but while the 

 salesman to whom the check was pre- 

 sented was telephoning to Mr. Kichter at 

 the upper store for instructions. Brown 

 left, saying he would return shortly. This 

 he failed to do, check and purchases re- 

 maining unclaimed. 



Hugo Kind, of Hammonton, N. J., has 

 been sending exceptionally well grown 

 dahlias to this market. Mr. Kind 's fort 

 lies in growing the best standanl varie- 

 ties in quantity: Nympha?a, Sylvia, Ked 

 Hussar, Kriemhilde, Lyndhurst, A. D. 

 Livoni (disbudded) and Flora.

 ished the roof construction on the mam- 

 moth house at North Wales.

 Israel Rosnosky and perhaps others from 

 this city. Phil. 



Danvers, Mass.— This city is in a fair 

 way, says a local newspaper, to become 

 noted for dahlia culture. For some years 

 Eobert A. Amend, of the Ferncroft Dah- 

 lia Gardens, has been growing them with 

 notable success. Now Alonzo A. Rack- 

 liflf, of Lawrence street, who took up 

 dahlia cultivation for a pastime, in three 

 years has become an expert grower and 

 has over 100 varieties in his collection.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



There is little to add to last week's 

 report of the cut flower market. As 

 yet no unusual demand for flowers has 

 developed, the Hudson-Fulton celebra- 

 tion absorbing all public interest. The 

 jobbers in decorative greens, however, 

 have reaped a harvest, thousands of 

 yards of roping being used in all the 

 large outdoor decorations. The Court 

 of Honor alone absorbed hundreds of 

 cases of wild smilax, and a complete 

 privet hedge has been planted on both 

 sides of the street from Fortieth to 

 Forty-second streets. Festooning of 

 heavy laurel roping is everywhere and 

 triumphal wreaths of massive size are 

 utilized in great abundance. 



What this great influx of visitors and 

 the public dinners and receptions of the 

 next ten days will do for the business is 

 problematical. Apart from these and 

 the early weddings, there is nothing to 

 lift the market. Many of the retail 

 florists' stores on Fifth avenue will turn 

 an honest penny in stands before their 



windows, where $10 seats will be at n 

 premium. 



Of good roses and carnations tin' 

 shipments are light and perfect sttili 

 brings satisfactory prices, but >'f 

 medium, short and inferior stock thi re 

 is yet no end and for this about aiy 

 oflfer that means a clean-up is accept i I 



Beauties have the call this wc ; 

 Great quantities are absorbed by ti<' 

 prima donnas and stars of the theatri •' 

 firmament nightly. 



Orchids are coming fast and arc ! 

 ways in demand. Dahlias were in ti^' 

 limelight last week and the exhibit t 

 the show was superb. But it is hard " 

 popularize this flower with the retai' i 

 and only a few of the best meet wili 

 any sale. This week will see the Sm 

 well of dahlias, asters and gladioli. 



There seems to have been a frost Sim' 

 day night, September 26, and it is wi 1 

 come. The flood of outdoor flower? 

 seemed endless; hydrangeas, astcis. 

 dahlias and gladioli came in day aftpi" 

 day in rivers and passed out cloud<'<l 

 and forlorn.
