supply and sell readily; this is especially 

 true of the lighter shades. 



The good weather has helped outdoor 

 flowers. Dahlias are plentiful and find 

 a good request. Cosmos was between 

 crops, but now the late flowers are of- 

 fered and a steady supply is assured 

 until frost. Within another week the 

 supply of asters will probably be over 

 for the season. In other stock, Lilium 

 longiflorum sells well and there is just 

 about enough on hand to meet the de- 

 mand. The supply of lily of the valley 

 is short. Chrysanthemums and violets 



are coming in. The supply of green 

 goods is ample and of good quality. 



The many orders for Dutch bulbs at 

 the seed houses are rapidly depleting 

 the supply of that commodity and, judg- 

 ing from appearances, it will be cleaned 

 out before long. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell received his first east- 

 ern double violets last week. He ex- 

 pects early mums in a day or so, from 

 H. Schmidt & Co., of Oxford, O. 



The bowling committee of the Cincin- 



nati Florists' Society has been working 

 hard and carefully, and has complete 

 plans to offer to the members at the 

 next regular meeting of the society, Oc- 

 tober 10. 



William Murphy finds a brisk demand 

 for Lilium longiflorum. 



E. 6. Gillett is getting in some fine 

 October Frost and Monrovia from H. 

 Schmidt & Co., of Oxford, O. During 

 the last few days Mr. Gillett 's many 

 Beauties have been snapped up quickly 

 by the buyers for the Jewish New Year. 



L. H. Kyrk is now receiving late 

 cosmos and single violets. His first 

 pansies from the new cut are also arriv- 

 ing. 



The J. M. McCullough's Sons Co. ex- 

 pects a large shipment of mushroom 

 spawn within a few days. Last Satur- 

 day J. C. Connont, representing James 

 Carter & Co., of London, England, called 

 at this house while on his twenty-eighth 

 annual trip to this country to visit the 

 seedsmen. Mr. Connont is one of the 

 pioneers among the English commercial 

 travelers in the seed line. He has been 

 with the Carters for over fifty-one 

 years. 



Miss Mae Carroll, representing D. 

 Busconi, has returned from a successful 

 trip through northern Ohio. 



The engagement of Frank Westerich 

 and Miss Kessler has been announced. 



Visitors: Julius Dillhof, representing 

 Schloss Bros., New York; Mr. and Mrs. 

 G. E. Gause, Richmond, Ind.; H. 

 Schmidt, Oxford, O., and William Lod- 

 der, Hamilton, O. C. H. H. 



BOCHESTES, N. H. 



At the annual fair held here Septem- 

 ber 27 to 30, E. A. Corson was the lead- 

 ing winner in the classes for pot plants, 

 cut flowers and designs. J. K. Alexan- 

 der, of East Bridgewater, Mass., showed 

 dahlias largely, as did the East Man- 

 chester (N. H.) Dahlia Gardens. Sweet 

 peas from Mrs. A. Roberts, Alton Bay, 

 N. H., were of fine quality. It would 

 pay other prominent trade growers of 

 dahlias and other flowers to make ex- 

 hibits at this important fair another 

 year. The floral court for the plant and 

 flower exhibits is quite unique. Frank 

 Shorey is superintendent of this de- 

 partment. W. N. Crcig, of North 

 Easton, Mass., acted as judge. 



Alexandria, Va. — C. A. Shaffer, of 

 C. A. Shaffer & Co., says that business 

 is so good that it has necessitated work- 

 ing sixteen hours each day for the last 

 six weeks.
