NEW YORK. 



Wellston, Mo. — Alexander Johnson, 

 on Easton avenue, has added another 

 greenhouse. 



Andover, O. — Chase & Chase are 

 building greenhouses on their vacant 

 lot on Oak street. There are two 

 houses, each 16x50. 



Dows, la. — The Larson & Shaffer 

 greenhouses, on East Ellsworth street, 

 are now completed, fully stocked and 

 ready for business. 



Benton Harbor, Mich. — A. E. Crooks 

 is enlarging and remodeling his green- 

 houses and is adding a second story to 

 his oflBce, so as to have more space for 

 storage. 



The Market. 



Cooler weather, refreshing rains, and 

 now Indian summer, with its chilly 

 nights and glorious days, combine to 

 put new life into the cut flower and 

 plant business, though the tide turns 

 slowly. The Jewish holidays last week 

 and the rapid return of the society ele- 

 ment were factors in the change for the 

 better, while the October weddings are 

 having a wide influence. Prices have 

 advanced only slightly, but quotations 

 are firm, with the tendency upward, and 

 everything choice of every kind of 

 flower is snapped up on arrival. 



The best Beauties touched 30 cents 

 each October 8, and the selected Kil- 

 larneys. Brides, Maids and Marylands 

 brought 5 cents, but quantities of short- 

 stemmed roses are still arriving for 

 which, in thousands, the buyer arbi- 

 trarily fixes values. Some fine Rich- 

 monds are now coming to the market. 

 Kaiserin also retains its price and popu- 

 larity. 



Few carnations have sold over 2 

 cents, but this week promises a higher 

 average, the quality and length of 

 stem improving rapidly. The shipments 

 of dahlias have been large and much 

 of the stock mediocre and neglected. 

 The finer kinds sell well, and retailers 

 use many in basket work. Another 

 week will practically end these, and the 

 asters, as entitled to further notice. 



There are plenty of orchids and every 

 retail window of account utilizes the 

 sprays in artistic arrangements. Prices 

 remain at last week's quotation. There 

 are plenty of fine gardenias, and these 

 sell rapidly at $3 to $4 a dozen. The 

 short-stemmed stock is already on the 

 street. For violets 50 cents seems to 

 be the extreme top; 30 cents to 20 cents 



even is all the bulk of the shipments 

 bring. These go to the pavement mer- 

 chants. For lilies 8 cents is the top, 

 and most of them go at $6 per hundred. 

 Valley must be fine to bring 3 cents; $2 

 per hundred is the average. 



There are still many tritomas. Chrys- 

 anthemums already dominate the mar- 

 ket. From now until December the 

 mum is king. The variety grows daily, 

 and the quality improves. Some superb 

 stock sells at 50 cents each, and is all 

 spoken for before it arrives. Polly Rose 

 and Glory of Pacific came October 8. 

 Before many days it will be high tide, 

 and then the flood, as usual. 



Club Meeting. 



At the meeting of the Florists' Club 

 October 10 the ladies were present in 

 large numbers and the total attendance 

 reached 150. The feature of the eve- 

 ning was a lecture by J. Horace McFar- 

 land, " The Crusade Against Ugliness. ' ' 

 He said he had spoken on the subject 

 before 100 audiences and emphasized 

 the value of the work of the florists 

 for the world's betterment and beautv. 

 He received a vote of thanks. 



Resolutions on the death of Lyman B. 

 Craw were read and his splendid char- 

 acter and the high esteem in which he 

 was held were emphasized. Chairman 

 Traendly, for the transportation com- 

 mittee; H. A. Bunyard, for the outing 

 committee, and P. O'Mara, for the leg- 

 islative committee, made reports. 



The following new members were 

 elected: Emil Leuly, John Collins, F. 

 Marquardt, John Baumann, George 

 Crawbuck, R. D. MacNiff, P. Einsman, 

 George Wagner, W. F. Shay, E. T.

 following ten applications were made 

 for membership: William Taat, Charles 

 Shuster, Maurice Eleinman, Olaf Blom-
