Monday morning, and Webster Randall 

 also took hold again after a three weeks' 

 vacation spent in the vicinity of Youngs- 

 town, O. A. L. Randall is still on his 

 fruit farm in Michigan. Word comes 

 that Mrs. Randall fell downstairs Octo-

 may delay their return to the city for 

 a time.

Peter Reinberg this year has nineteen 

 houses in carnations, a total of 160,000 

 plants. This is twice as many carnations 

 as he ever grew before. The carnations 

 are all at the new place on the farm out 

 Lincoln avenue. 



John T. Muir says the summer busi-

 known it to be. W. B. Lampert, son of 

 J. J. Lampert, of Xenia, O., is now with 

 Muir at the Thirty-fifth street store. 

 Thomas Best is in charge at Forty- 

 seventh street. 



Miss Hertha V. Tonner now for two 

 j'ears has been a commission dealer in 

 cut flowers in the Flower Growers' Mar- 

 ket, and says she feels considerably 

 more than satisfied with the results. Miss 

 Martha C. Gunterberg, another commis- 

 sion dealer in the market, is absent this 

 week, her affairs being looked after by 

 Miss Then, who sells Anton Then's 

 stock in the market. 



The members of the Wholesale Flo- 

 rists' Employees' Club are delighted

A. L. Vaughan, of Vaughan & Sperry, 

 returned October 2, after spending a 

 week in the violet district along the 

 Hudson river. He has made a number 

 of trips through the district, and says 

 he never yet has seen the stock there so 

 uniformly good as it is this season. 



Kennicott Bros. Co. during the last 

 week has put in a second large ice-box 

 and given the entire establishment a 

 coat of green paint, putting the store in 

 first-class shape for the season. 



Bassett & Washburn sent an exhibit 

 to the state fair this week, not for com- 

 petition, in which there were some ex- 



ceptionally good Rhea. Reid roses and 

 some O. P. Bassett carnations with 

 stems two feet long. 



Henry Van Gelder states that Percy 

 •Tones, who is in University hospital, is 

 greatly improved this week, and his 

 speedy recovery is looked for.

 in the last week has exceeded all pre- 

 vious records for the first week of Octo- 

 ber.
