Various Notes. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Plower Co. is 

 handling some of the finelt single chrys- 

 anthemums ever seen in this market 

 and the way they move out shows how 

 they are appreciated. 



The private gardeners and the park 

 men who have exhibitions say that the 

 early varieties of chrysanthemums are 

 keeping much better than the later 

 ones now coming in'^o bloom. 



Arthur Hall, of the A. W. Smith 

 Co., is confined to his home with an 

 attack of fever. 



Randolph ic McClements recently had 

 a fine exhibit of Maud Dean with the 

 fancy prepared adiantum and the effect 

 was most striking. 



The box of exhibition flowers sent by 

 Nathan Smith to the club, being one 

 day late, was turned over to the Bo- 

 tanical Society. The box contained a 

 lot of good new ones which the boys 

 would have been pleased to see. 



A drop of 49 degrees in temperature 

 between Sunday noon and Monday 

 morning, when the thermometer regis- 

 tered 10 degrees above zero, was almost 

 too decided a change. 



All of the growers in the Allison 

 Park and Bakerstown section are mem- 

 bers of a good roads boosters' club. 

 They met Tuesday evening at Bakers- 

 town. E. C. Ludwig and T. P. Langhans 

 are also members of this club. 

 *>% The A. W. Smith Co. mad© some 

 ' effective orchid displays last week. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



MUMS 



Ready. We are headquarters, as usual. 

 Let your orders come. 



Growers, attention ! Why not sell your own stock? We have the finest 

 looation in the Chicago market and space enough to accommodate several 

 growers selling their own stock.

The Market. 



The beautiful Indian summer that we 

 have enjoyed the last few weeks was 

 broken Sunday, November 12, by a gale 

 which lasted two days and brought cold 

 weather and snow. The wind reached 

 a velocity of eighty miles an hour and 

 the temperature dropped 30 degrees in 

 less than five hours. This has been a 

 most remarkable autumn and the rec- 

 ords are given out as showing the mild- 

 est October on record. There were nine 

 clear days, ten partly cloudy and twelve 



cloudy during the month, the mean tem- 

 perature for the month being 51.2 

 degrees. 



As a result of the mildness and 

 oright days, stock is much in advance 

 of the usual time and we are now cut- 

 ting varieties which are two weeks 

 early. Roses, carnations and liUe^ con- 

 tinue plentiful, which, with the lack of 

 a brisk business, makes rather a 

 crowded condition.
