The Market. 



Business last week was good and the 

 cool weather was quite a factor in the 

 market; consequently stock has been 

 moving readily. Carnations are being re- 

 ceived in fair quantity ana have ad- 

 vanced to $2. Keally good grades sell 

 at $2.50 per hundred. Chrysanthemums 

 are now a feature, and another week will 

 see them more plentiful. They have been 

 moving slowly, prices ranging from $15 

 to $25. Dahlias are still with us, and 

 have never been better; they sell at $1 to 

 $3 per hundred. Koses are better in 

 quality than usually at this time; they 

 fetch from $2 to $6. Violets have made 

 their appearance, but as yet are of poor 

 quality, selling at 35 cents per hundred. 



Qub Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Cincinnati Florists' Society was held at 

 the club rooms October 9, with President 

 J. A. Peterson in the chair. About 

 twenty-five members were present. 



The various committees from the con- 

 vention brought in their reports. The 

 finance and souvenir book committee re- 

 ported that all bills had been paid, and 

 that there would be quite a snug little 

 sum left for the treasury. The chair ap- 

 pointed George Bartlett and Ed Forter 

 an auditing committee, to bring in a final 

 report at the next meeting. 



Mr. Peterson invited the club to hold 

 the next regular meeting at his place, 

 and the invitation was gladly accepted. 

 This is to be a gala occasion, as we all 

 enjoy a trip to the Peterson establish- 

 ment. If indications point right, I may 

 say that there will be a "full house" 

 November 13 in Westwood. Amend- 

 ments, or perhaps revision, of the by- 

 laws will come up at the next meeting. 



It seems as though the S. A. F. con- 

 vention brought new life and enthusiasm 

 into our society, and it is to be hoped 

 that we will henceforth become more 

 active than in the past, 



Nathan Smith, Adrian, Mich., had a 

 chrysanthemum before the judges. It 

 was a good shade of pink and much ad- 

 mired, especially for its earliness.
