Mention The Review wlien you write 



pies of all kinds are taking on strength, 

 and, while values are not advanced to 

 any great extent, everything along the 

 line is active to the point of making a 

 • lean-out easy. Roses are called for to 

 an extent which makes good slock 

 sought for, and low grades have moved 

 up a hit, as far as demand is concerned. 



Carnations from outside plants are 

 coming in quite plentifully and sell 

 well, as might be expected at this sea- 

 son. Inside stock is a little backward 

 and few blooms will be ha<l before 

 October 1. Stock is unusually scarce 

 all around. 



A few chrysanthemums of the Golden 

 Glow variety have put in an appearance 

 and make the usual returns for some- 

 thing not wanted. One feature of the 



market this week is the large quantity 

 of really magnificent asters that are 

 coming in. Tliere are more good asters 

 here today than I have ever seen at 

 one time before. Unfortunately, there 

 are too many to maintain prices, the 

 demand not having increased in pro 

 portion to the supply. It seems prob 

 able that the height of the season has 

 been reached and the next week will 

 see a decline. Poor asters are still poor 

 stock indeed. Dahlias are increasing in 

 quantity, and by next week the fancy 

 varieties will be in full swing. 



Various Notes. 

 The Gardeners' and Florists' 



Club 



held its annual picnic at Bay Shore 

 park, September 1. It was one of the 



i est ever held by the club, some fine 

 prizes being offered for bowling, both 

 for ladies and gentlemen. 



Harry Kkas has just purchased five 

 acres of land on the Frederick road. 

 Mr. Ekas formerly leased this property 

 and is conducting a florists' establish- 

 ment on it at the present time. 



Charles H. Cook is erecting a .3.000- 

 gallon tank at his country place at 

 Catonsville. 



R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons will hold their 

 fourth annual dahlia show at Cowenton, 

 Md., September 27 to 30. This firm 

 has over forty acres in dahlias. Q. 



JAMESTOWN, N. Y, 



Lawrence Cotter, superi>ntendent of 

 the Lake View Rose Gardens, says he 

 and Karney Myers, of W. .1. Palmer & 

 Son. intend to carry all before them 

 on roses at the next National Show — 

 a big challenge, but they are a great 

 team and will doubtless be heard from. 



Thomas Russell, of Brooklyn Heights, 

 finds the recent addition insufficient for 

 his steadily increasing business and ex- 

 pects to add considerably to his plant 

 after the spring rush. Decorations are 

 a feature with him. 



George Heelas has made himself 

 highly popular with the Chautauqua 

 visitors by his artistic and original de 

 signing at Lake View during the assem- 

 bly. 



F. A. Dorman has no room to add to 

 his snug plant, which is built of iron 

 and cement. 



Eliot Worden has some of the finest 

 asters in town. Many were sold for 

 earlv mums. M.
