are a drag on the market. Carnations are 

 plentiful, but will not be in heavy de- 

 mand until the mum season is over. Or- 

 chids, peas, valley and lilies are more 

 than equal to the call. 



Various Notes. 



Indiana has a florist mayor. C. S. 

 Barnaby, of Columbus, Ind., was elected 

 mayor of that city by the Kepublicans 

 this week. 



John Heidenreich has the automobile 

 fever. 



John Hartje, Henry Kieman and Au- 

 gust Duderstatt spent a day in Rich- 

 mond this week examining Mr. Hill 's new 

 varieties of chrysanthemums. 



Harry Pahud has taken a position with 

 one of the leading pot plant growers of 

 Chicago. Mr. Pahud expects to be gone 

 about one year. 



Hartje & Elder are putting in a big 

 dug well to supply the water for their 

 greenhouses. They have experienced some 

 little diflBculty on account of caving. The 

 well is to be thirty feet deep and seven 

 feet in diameter. Mr. Hartje thinks they 

 will have sufficient water when the well is 

 completed. 



Fred Hukriede is a disappointed man 

 these days. He worked day and night up- 

 lifting the Democratic cause before the 

 recent election, but was on the wrong side 

 of the ticket. 



A visitor to the place of H. W. Eieraan 

 will find it in the usual apple-pie order. 

 Mr. Bieman has been devoting consid- 

 erable time and space to seedling chrysan- 

 themums, as he has four benches given 

 over entirely to them. He has a fine col- 

 lection of the single varieties and pom-

pons, and it is well worth one's time to 

 see them. He also has a pink chrysan- 

 themum, with a flower similar to that of a 

 water lily, of which he thinks a great 

 deal and expects to put in an entire 

 bench of them next year. Mr. Bieman 

 will have mums up to Christmas this 

 year and will have no trouble in dispos- 

 ing of them, as his own retail business 

 calls for more than the output of his 

 greenhouses. Another thing of interest is 

 his collection of cypripediums, consisting 

 of a dozen varieties, most of them now 

 in bloom. There is also a crop of labiatas. 

 now, and some fine blooms are to be seen. 

 Mr. Bieman also takes great interest in 

 his seedling carnations and I would not 

 be surprised if he puts a winner on the 

 market soon, as he has a couple of pinks 

 and a red that look good. The pot 

 chrysanthemums deserve special mention, 

 as do his cyclamen, poinsettias and Gloire 

 de Lorraine. H. L. W.

The Market 



We have just passed through a week 

 of good business. Several important 

 weddings, a number of receptions, a 

 whole lot of funeral work, and a good 

 sale for pot plants has kept every one 

 busy. 



Stock of all description is plentiful. 

 The prices obtained at the commission 

 houses are not quite equal to those of 

 last year at this time. 



There seems to be a scarcity of chrys- 

 anthemum plants on this market. Somo 

 years the few available could not be dis- 

 posed of, but this year there is a ready 

 sale for all we can get. 



Varioua Notes. 



B. H. Ellis, of Leamington, Ont., was 

 an exhibitor at the trade exhibit at 

 Toronto, which exhibit was held Novem-
