This will come in handy for our green- 

 house men this winter, when zero weather 

 is coming. Mr. Smith says anyone wish- 

 ing this service should inform him at 

 once. * 



Philip Scanlan, park commissioner, says 

 that St. Louis has now passed Boston in 

 area of parks and is now the fourth 

 city in the country in this respect. Mr. 

 Scanlan also states that more money was 

 spent last year for new parks than in 

 the other ninety-nine years of its cor- 

 porate existence. The new parks last 

 year cost $1,392,356. 



The executive board of the St. Louis 

 Horticultural Society held a meeting 

 Tuesday, October 19, at the M. A. C. 

 Club rooms. F. W. Brockman presided 

 over the meeting. All members of the 

 board were present and arrangements 

 were completed for the coming flower 

 show in the Coliseum building, November 

 9 to 12. Weekly meetings will be held 

 from now on until show time. Treasurer 

 Weber was present for the first time 

 since his return from Europe. J. J. B. 



ERIE, PA. 



The Market. 



Business has been rushing this week 

 and the florists have been hustling early 

 and late. There were a number of large 

 funerals, and choice cut flowers, whether 

 loose or in design work, were in great de- 

 mand. Orchids, gardenias, violets and 

 valley found a ready sale, although roses 

 and chrysanthemums formed the bulk of 

 the business. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas B. De Forest, representing 

 Lord & Burnham Co., New York, and C. 

 Chandler Taylor, of Louisville, Ky., were 

 in this city, October 16 and October 18, 

 respectively. 



Henry A. Niemeyer has a new touring 

 cslt 



S. Zelnick, of Cleveland, Ohio, was in 

 this city, October 23. 



The florists' employees are making 

 preparations for their annual chrysan- 

 themum dance, to be given at Assembly 

 hall, November 10. The carnation dance, 

 given by them last spring, was a com- 

 plete success. B. P.
