SEPatMBKU 15, 1910. 



A Superb Novelty 



We have rei-eived since the Conventten. the -first- ahiphients of our exclusive novelty, GOIjD IMPERIAI* 

 CHINAWARE. This is undoubtedly the finest lidVelty of the season. Beautiful gold designs of highest art art^ 

 burned into the surface of each piece of IMPERIAL -CHINAWARE. The etfefct of the delicate gold tracery on the 

 pure white of tlie chinaware is beautiful for ferneries, for individual vases or for waU^rways. 



Our GOLD ART IMPERIAL CHINAWARE is undoubtedly in a class by itself, something that your cus- 

 tomers of taste will I'xclaim over and want the moment they see it. 



Stuid us a trial order; we know that you will be delighted with our gold art designs and will want more as soon 

 as you see them.

NEW YOKK. 



Bochester, N. Y.— The Flower City 

 Pl.nnt Food Co., which makes a large 

 line of fertilizers used by florists and 

 handled by seedsmen and retailers, is 

 changing from a wood box with paper 

 wrapper to a lithographed tin box for 

 its j)lant food. 



The Market. 



There seems to be no end to the 

 asters, and while the best of them sell 

 readily, anything not up to standard 

 quality goes promptly into the discard. 

 This week will probably turn the tide 

 the other way and put an end to th<! 

 sacrifice. Fortunately, gladiolus ship- 

 ments are about over. Much of the 

 stocb' has not been salable of late, and 

 only the best varieties seem to be in de- 

 mand at all. The dry season and the 

 aster flood together made rough sail- 

 ing for the gladioli. 



Dahlias are coming fast and the stock 

 is fine. This week will see them here 

 in great abundance. The appreciation 

 of tills flower is growing yearly. Mums 

 are already competing for recognition, 

 f^ome Golden Glow were all that could 

 1 e desired and they were well worth 

 the $1.5G per dozen asked for tiieni. 

 Orchids are scarce and the price is im- 

 ])roving. while lilies and valley hold at 

 last week's quotations. 



Carnations are still short'Stemmed, 

 but of excellent color and quality; 

 nevertheless $1 per hundred seems to be 

 ahout the top, notwitlistaiidiiig school 

 .•"lid 1 heater openings and the return of 

 many of the people who liuy flowers. 



f)f roses there is a great sufficiency, 

 but the stems are short, the heads small 

 aii<I only the selects command a price 

 Wdrtli wliih'. The best Beauties bring 



-0 cents and 4 cents is about the top 

 for selected Killarneys, Brides, etc.. 

 while the average will not reach over 

 $10 per thousand. It is unwise to 

 count on much improvement before 

 October. 



Club Meeting. 



The New York Florists' Club held 

 its first meeting of the season Monday 

 evening, September 12, with an at- 

 tendance of over half a hundred. 



Robert Berry introduced the subject 

 of a bowling club and there was a 

 lively discussion, participated in by 

 Messrs. Manda, Birnie, Fenrich, Burns. 

 Donaldson, Weathered, O'Mara, Nu- 

 gent, Pierson, Traendly, Duckham. 

 ►Sliultz and President Miller. As the 

 result, a committee of five was ap- 

 pointed to prepare plans for the for 

 niation of a bowling organization. The 

 committee consists of Messrs. Manda. 

 'Iraciidly, Berry, Duckham and Fen 

 rich. Later a meeting of bowlers wa^ 

 called at the store of Traendly \ 

 iSchenck at .'? ]). m.. September 17. 

 It was stated the dub will start with 

 a membership of at least twenty-four. 

 F. R. Pierson presented to the five local 

 clubs a bowling ball apiece. Messrs.

 the prizes offered for pn'ss bowling at 

 Rochester.
