from day to day. The quality is fine. 

 Brides and Maids are plentiful. Killar- 

 ney and Richmond are in fair supply. 

 Golden Gates and Uncle Johns are be- 

 coming more abundant. There is some 

 Bhea Reid grown here, but the growers 

 seem to like Richmond the better of the 

 two, though the store men like Reid. 

 Beauties are still in fair demand. 



Carnations are more plentiful and the 

 quality is improving, but there are not 

 nearly enough at present to meet the de- 

 mand. Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchant- 

 ress and Perfection take the lead in 

 quantity. Though the other varieties 

 are looking fine, they are not producing 

 nearly as many blooms. Victory and 

 Beacon are coming more plentifully every 

 day now, but still the supply is away 

 below the demand. 



Valley is in fair demand and there are 

 some few calls for orchids. Smilax and 

 asparagus sell fairly well and there is 

 a good supply. Violets are in only fair 

 quantity; the quality is improving right 

 along. 



Varioui Notes. 



Most of the growers are busy at pres- 

 ent getting their bulbs in flats for 

 forcing. 



The Munk Floral Co. is sending in 

 some good mums and roses. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has some 

 fine Touset, Halliday and Pacific Su- 

 preme. 



E. Metzmaier says business is still 

 rushing and it is hard to get enough 

 stock to go the rounds. 



G. Drobisch reports business good, es- 

 pecially in funeral work. J. M. 



ASTORIA, L. I. 



Ine Astoria Bowling Club is an ex- 

 ample to all clubs in aggressive practice 

 and uannony It has a membership 

 nearly up to its limit, twenty, and its 

 work on Tuesuay evenings speaks for 

 itself. Phil Kessler says it "can beat 

 any twelve New York will bring over in 

 December." Prizes, lunches, four per- 

 fect alleys and a jolly company make the 

 visitors welcome. The last record is:

On behalf of W. H. Siebrecht the 

 dub was invited to enjoy an auto ride 

 to his new home at Chappaqua, N. Y., 

 to spend Sunday with his family. The 

 party left Astoria in the touring car at 

 9.00 a. m., and included Messrs. Kessler, 

 Donaldson, Einsman, Bleckman, Sr. and 

 Jr., Anderson, Arnold, Jacobson, Doer- 

 hoefer, Shaw, Lorenz and W. H. Sie- 

 brecht, Jr., just one short of thirtefl*. 

 It was a glorious day, clear, sunny, criip 

 and healthful, and the journey was most 

 enjoyable all the way through New Ro- 

 chelle, White Plains and the glorious hills 

 of Westchester county. Just beyond 

 White Plains the auto rebelled and re- 

 fused to climb another hill without as- 

 Bistance. A telephone to Chappaqua 

 brought Mr. Siebrecht and his son to the 

 relief of the stranded, with the new 

 Steams that towed the entire crowd with 

 belated appetites to a royal welcome from

Mrs. Siebrecht and a splendid country 

 banquet. When the touring car was ex- 

 amined Chauffeur Lorenz was shaken up 

 07 the discovery that the entire party 

 escaped a wreck by a hair. It was a 

 close call for the Astoria Club and a 

 lucky escape from thirteen miles of im- 

 minent danger. The return trip was 

 made by train after a second dinner and 

 an abundance of music and good fellow- 

 ship. Mr. and Mrs. Siebrecht have been 

 especially fortunate in their selection of
