that is, there are an unusual number 

 of shoots, the foliage excellent and the

Various Notes. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. completed 

 the move into its new store at 518 Mar- 

 ket street last week. Everything was 

 running with wonderful smoothness by 

 the end of the week. An immense 

 quantity of stock had been successfully 

 housed with no appearance of confusion 

 or disorder. 



Edward A. Stroud will hold a chrys- 

 anthemum show in the Overbrook Golf 

 Club November 4 and 5. 



Duncan Macaw has been assisting 

 Bobert A. Craig to produce some mag- 

 nificent stock this season. 



The Johnson Seed Co. reports that 

 the bulb season has opened with the 

 advent of frost. People want their beds 

 filled when they become unsightly. 



M. Rice & Co. are working overtime; 

 their silver corsage ribbon was heavily 

 ordered ahead of its importation. 



J. Stevenson, of Oak Lane, has his 

 entire place in Mrs. Jardine this year. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have an inter- 

 esting novelty in two-tone immortelles. 



The Philadelphia growers who are 

 shipping to New York are troubled by 

 the expressmen's strike there. 



Miss L. H. Dundore, formerly with 

 Harry Shroyer, has opened a new store 

 this week in Lancaster, Pa. 



J. D. Eisele is on a flying trip to the 

 south this week. 



The Strafford Flower Farms have re- 

 turned to the good old-fashioned out- 

 door field culture for carnations, with 

 marked success. White Perfection looks 

 particularly well; in these houses there 

 has been no stem-rot. 



Thomas Young, of Bound Brook, N. 

 J., has added cattleyas and dendro- 

 biums to his gardenias this season.

NEW ORLEANS. 



All Saints' day business was im- 

 mense, favored by beautiful weather. 

 It was, in the opinion of most of the 

 florists, the best for many years. Most 

 of them sold out. Local stock was not 

 up to expectations. Many late ship- 

 ments were necessary, from Chicago and 

 elsewhere. B. E. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The anticipated cold snap material- 

 ized Thursday, October 27, but with 

 it came no snow and little frost, and 

 now we are back again to Indian 

 summer. The flying machines, the elec- 

 tions and the express strike counter- 

 acted any good effects of the change in 

 temperature, and the market is back in 

 the doldrums. 



The express strike has been a seri- 

 ous question for the florists here. 

 Shipments have been seriously inter- 

 fered with, and much stock has 

 perished through delays. The outlook 

 still is threatening, and some of the 

 metropolitan journals are predicting a 

 general strike all over the country. 

 The latest news, however, was more 

 cheering, and the early end of the 

 strike is now hoped for. Wholesale 

 florists have been forced to send to 

 the railroad stations for their supplies, 

 and great inconvenience and many 

 disappointments have resulted. Yet, 

 with all the scarcity, prices have not 

 risen, and will not, probably, until 

 these labor troubles are settled and the 

 election excitement at an end.
