Goldfish Free. 



We are givinK away, FRES of all charge, to one florist in each 

 town, 100 live, healthy Goldfish. The florist can give one Fish to 

 each customer as a premium and thereby increase his regular sales. 

 The majority of people who never handled Goldfish have the mistaken idea that Goldfish die very rapidly and are a great care. Handle flsh as we 

 Instruct and you will not lose two out of a hundred and they will be but little care. There is irathing that you can put in your window that 

 will attract more attention than Goldfish.

The Market. 



Chrysanthemums are now at their 

 flood tide and are likely to remain so 

 for at least a fortnight longer. With 

 the warm weather experienced during 

 the last week, arrivals steadily in- 

 creased and proved more than the mar- 

 ket could dispose of. As a consequence, 

 prices slumped considerably. Chrysan- 

 themums dominate everything and seem 

 piore abundant than in any previous 

 year. Few of even the best flowers 

 bring over $1.50 to $2 per dozen, the 

 lower grades selling as low as $2 per 

 hundred. Carnations are plentiful and 

 have taken a decided slump in price. 

 Many were sold October 22 at $5 per 

 thousand, and not a few lower. As yet 

 stems are not long. Such growers as 

 have good stems make better prices. 



Roses are suffering with the rest and 

 the only free selling sort is Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward, which seems to have caught the 

 popular favor. Richmond is something 

 of a glut and hard to move. For White 

 Killarney there has been a fair sale. 

 They are as yet less plentiful than the 

 pink variety. Violets want colder 

 weather to improve their quality, which 

 leaves much to be desired. They are 

 only selling moderately well. Lilies are 

 not overabundant, but lily of the valley 

 is more plentiful. Outdoor flowers are 

 over for the season. Some candytuft 

 and cosmos are seen, but not of good 

 quality. Some indoor grown cosmos car- 

 ries fine flowers. " 



Orchids are coming into their own 

 and are seen in almost every window. 

 Gardenias are still of good quality. 

 Quite a few white and yellow margue- 

 rites are now arriving and the first 

 jnignonette of the season. One or two 

 growers expect to have Paper White 

 parcissi this week. 



With somewhat cooler weather at the 

 start of the present week, business has 

 picked up a little, but arrivals are 

 beavy. 



Pot plant trade is steadily improv- 

 ing. For fern dishes the demand is 

 quite good. Flowering plants are scarce 

 as yet, but an abundance of foliage 

 plants are seen.

eral trade press representatives, sat 

 down to a most excellent repast. The 

 gathering included most of the big 

 growers for the Boston market, such as 

 Messrs. Nicholson, Elliott, A. Mont- 

 gomery, the Peirce brothers, S. J. God- 

 dard, A. Christensen, the Mann brothers 

 and others. William C. Stickel, presi- 

 dent of the corporation, presided. He 

 at the outset specially welcomed the 

 representatives of the trade papers and 

 regretted that time would not allow of 

 any speeches, as in previous years, but 

 he later found time for a few talks. He 

 traced the history of the wholesale 

 flower market movement from its in- 

 ception to the present time, and spoke 

 of the great benefit it had proved to be 

 for so many growers. He stated that 

 the directors had voted to declare a 

 dividend of ten per cent to stockholders 

 November 1. 



The secretary's records were duly ac- 

 cepted. The treasurer's report for the 

 year ending September 30 showed total 

 receipts of $20,859.30. Of this sum. 

 $10,000 was from capital stock ^old and 

 $8,107.33 from rentals. Payments were 

 $19,689.20, leaving a cash balance of 

 $1,170.10. Assets September 30 were 

 valued at $11,^01.86, the liabilities 

 being: Capital stock, $10,000; loss and 

 gain, $1_,201.^'6. 'William Nic^iolson,

The chair appointed H. L. Cameron, 

 W. E. Nicholson and A. S. Parker tellers 

 to sort and count ballots for officers for 

 the ensuing year. On motion of J. T.

 board of directors. This was carried 

 unanimously. The following is the list 

 of directors: Alex. Montgomery, W. C. 

 Stickel, William Nicholson, L. W. Mann,
