The Sising Eastern Market. 



Every retail florilfr^aigrees tlmV^the 

 market is simply glorious. All the 

 flowers that anybody could possibly 

 want can be obtained at the- most won- 

 derful prices — prices that are reason- 

 able past all belief. Most of the busi- 

 ness is being done with chrysanthe- 

 mums, yet the supply of chrysanthe- 

 mums is so much greater than the de- 

 mand that not on even one day during 

 the week closing November 1 has there 

 been a danger of shortage. Yellow is 

 the favorite. Eobert Halliday has been 

 reinforced by Maj. Bonnaffon and Col. 

 Appleton, the vanguard, so to speak, of 

 these sterling midseason varieties. 

 There is also a variety, named, I think, 

 Mrs. Kelly, which makes some stir. 

 Pink is greatly overdone, chiefly due to 

 Pacific Supreme and to the fact that 

 this excellent variety lost color during 

 the muggy weather. Maud Dean and 

 Pink Ivory have come; most important 

 of all, Ivory, still the greatest white 

 chrysanthemum for everyday use, is 

 here in force. Pompons are plentiful in 

 every shade of color. 



There is not a great deal to be said 

 about the rest of the market that dif- 

 fers from the report of a week ago. 

 The principal changes lie in the im- 

 provement of the double violet, making 

 this sterling flower fully equal to mar- 

 ket requirements, and in the blow ad- 

 ministered to the dahlia by Jack Frost; 

 hardly a knock-out blow, but suffi- 

 ciently staggering to take the dahlia 

 out of the race, except a few stragglers. 

 The wami weather of October 31 and 

 November 1, however, brought dahlias 

 freely from sheltered sections of New 

 Jersey. 



Shipping is excellent and there is con- 

 siderable business, but prices rule low, 

 with accumulations of the poorer 

 j[rade8. 



The Flower Show. 



Philadelphia will have a fine flower 

 •how next week. The arrangements 

 that have been perfected by the com- 

 mittee of the Plorists' Club, and ap- 

 pointed to work with the committee 

 of the Pennsylvania Horticultural So-

Fine stock in all the leading varieties at lowest 

 market prices. We can give you any jgrade, any 

 quantity you require. ^v^ " ' '

 ceptionally good. . .. , ; - , _, ..

 tunities to serve you well.

ciety, include some promising improve- 

 ments. Horticultural hall will be dec- 

 orated, there will be music and many 

 novel exhibits, the show will be well 

 advertised and every florist is invited 

 to help make it a success. Chrysan- 

 themum plants in bloom, to which will 

 be attached a handsome display card 

 announcing the show, will be dis- 

 tributed to the flower stores with 

 the request that they be displayed 

 in the show window«^t|d that the pro- 

 prietor of the store lake a book of 

 twenty-five or fifty tickets to sell to 

 his customers. 



Further plans of the exhibition in- 

 clude the engagement of William Gra- 

 ham, admittedly one of the finest dec- 

 orators in the city, to take charge of 

 the decoration. The foyer will be in 

 white and gold, as a setting for the 

 novel decorations that it is hoped the 

 retail florists will make there. The bal- 



cony will contain seats lor a large num- 

 ber of persons, where the beautiful 

 sights and the music can be enjoyed, 

 a new feature sure to prove "popular. 

 The vegetables will be reserved until 

 Thursday, in order that they may not 

 detract from the floral exhibits during 

 the early part of the show. The com- 

 mittee has raised a guarantee fund suf- 

 ficient to give all the money required. 



In this connection J. Otto Thilow, 

 secretary of the joint committee, asks 

 publication of the following: 



"We invite any florist who has nov- 

 elties or specialties hi wishes fiade pub- 

 lic by aisplay to send them With cards 

 to David Rust, secretary, Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society, Horticultural 

 hall, Broad street^- I'hiladelphia. We 

 will find prominent space and do all we 

 can to show ihem. " 



It is earnestly hoped that each and
