graiie. Eoses are perhaps the most plen- 

 tif'il just at present. The cool weather 

 has shortened the supply considerably in 

 the last week. Carnations are as good 

 ish and are extremely scarce. Some 

 ; red dahlias are to be had, but white 

 are hard to get. Cosmos is coming 

 ut the supply is limited. These flow- 

 uill be plentiful in a few days and 

 be quite welcome. Yellow mums are 

 ming a little more common and are 

 ing slowly. 



<ek Frost was here on a visit Septem- 

 -6, but did not leave much evidence 

 ^d. Only the coleus and a few other 

 bedders showed the effects. Never- 

 ss, the florists are hustling all out- 

 stock in as fast as possible. 

 ext week will be horse show week and 

 will be the real fall opener for the

 goi i, as the horse shows here are second 

 to one in the country and society people

 a week's illness. 



F. Walker & Co. have built a nice con- 

 servatory in the rear of their store, 25x 

 146 feet, and when completed it will be 

 up-to-date in every respect. 



Mrs. C. B. Thompson has had several 

 pretty windows lately. 



Two members were elected to the bowl- 

 ing club last week and the limit of twelve 

 has been reached. Jim Doerr, who has 

 been bowling with the boys, rejoined, and 

 Martin Quirey, with Jacob Schulz, is a 

 new member. The bowlers have not yet 

 got the kinks out of their arms and the 

 scores show it, but when this bunch gets 

 in shape the pins will certainly get 

 knocked around some. K. R.

The Market 



The week has witnessed considerable 

 activity, which is welcomed by all. There 

 is not an abundance of stock, so good 

 prices are realized. Few carnations are 

 to be seen; they can be counted by the 

 dozen, not in hundreds, and what do ap- 



pear bring sellers' prices. Mums have 

 begun to arrive and they find ready sale. 

 Eoses are more plentiful and are good 

 stock. Ferns are overdone this fall; they 

 move slowly and are bringing low prices 

 for good stock. We have had several 

 light frosts, but they did no damage to 

 stock. 



Various Notes. 



The dahUa show of E. Vincent, Jr., & 

 Sons Co., for this year, was a great suc- 

 cess. These annual events have come to 

 be regarded as the floricultural feature 

 of the autumn in this latitude and many 

 visitors are attracted to view the fine dis- 

 play. This firm, as is well known, makes 

 specialties of all kinds of bedding plants 

 and has over thirty acres in dahlias this 

 season. The Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club went down on Tuesday, September 

 28, and quite a delegation from other 

 cities was there. q.

 property to A. H. Willis, of North 

 Geneva.
