Myers & Samtman cut and marketed 

 66,435 My Maryland roses. Their new 

 dark pink rose promises well; it will be 

 sent out next spring. The A. L. Ean- 

 dall Co., Chicago, will assist in its dis- 

 tribution. 



Victor Groshens has commenced cut- 

 ting Beauties from his newly completed 

 house, the first shipment going to the 

 Leo Niessen Co., October 8. 



The Johnson Seed Co. had a fine ex- 

 hibit of pumpkins in its Market street 

 window, which attracted much atten- 

 tion. 



Among the visitors who have favored 

 this city recently are James Walsh, 

 Lowell, Mass.; W. C. Langbridge, of 

 Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, 

 N. Y.; H. L. Holmes, Harrisburg, Pa.; 

 George M. Stumpp, New York city, and

A picture postal card from Berne, the 

 Swiss capital, is an indication of the 

 continued activity of Godfrey Asch- 

 mann, whose safe and speedy return is 

 promised. 



The fall show at Stokes' Seed Store 

 was a great success. There was a stalk 

 of corn sixteen feet high, for which 

 special arrangements had to be made 

 out in front. There were pumpkins, 

 reminding one of the description of 

 Jane — not pretty, but massive; in fact, 

 they were tremendous. There was a 

 Porto Rican squash, five feet in length, 

 suggestive of innumerable fries, as 

 George H. Atkinson cleverly put it. 

 There was corn of superior quality and 

 dahlias from our own roots th»t are to 

 be. In fact, it was a most interesting 

 and instructive exhibition. 



Louis Berger will represent G. Van 

 Waveren & KruyfE, of Sassenheim, Hol- 

 land, in the United States, Canada and 

 in England. Mr. Berger opened an 

 office in the Bourse building October 11.

The Market. 



Business remains fair. On some days 

 good clearances are made, while on 

 others semi-stagnation rules. Chrysan- 

 themums are now dominating the mar- 

 ket, and supplies are increasing daily. 

 Prices on these show a drooping tend- 

 ency. While a few fanciea make $2.5i0
