Secretary Pring presented an illustrated 

 talk on the Royal Gardens, Kew, Lon- 

 don, England. Dr. Moore presided and 

 the meeting was well attended. 



The Windier Wholesale Floral Co. had 

 some excellent consignments of roses, 

 mums, carnations and fancy valley last 

 week. The latter cleaned up pretty 

 well daily. 



Angermueller 's supply department 

 had quite a lot of shipping last week, 

 to the southwest; also a good demand 

 for cut stock. 



The Eetail Florists' Association ten- 

 dered a banquet to its members 

 Wednesday evening, November 6, at the 

 Washington hotel. The tables were 

 nicely decorated with flowers and the 

 following members were seated: C. C. 

 Sanders, Theo. Miller, Fred H. Weber, 

 Fred C. Weber, Jr., R. J. Windier, Chas. 

 Young, Carl Beyer, Fred H. Meinhardt, 

 Emil Schray, C. Bergstermann, H. 

 Young, R. Windt, Alex. Geranios and 

 Jules Bourdet. The speakers of the 

 evening were C. C. Sanders, R. J. 

 Windier and F. C. Weber, Jr. Those 

 present say they spent a most enjoyable 

 evening. Their monthly meeting takes 

 place next Monday evening, November 

 18, at 8 p. m. 



Messrs. Aue, Werner and Rowe have 

 taken to growing valley and are cutting 

 some of extra good quality.

The Market. 



One week ago we had our first really 

 killing freezes, but the weather is warm 

 again. Outdoor flowers are a thing of 

 the past, however, and it is shown in 

 the great increase of business. Hallow- 

 e'en business was good, but not all that 

 was expected. Funerals and parties, 

 together with several weddings, served 

 to clean up all stock, however, so all 

 are happy. The last week has been the 

 best for retail business that has been 

 known here for years. Chrysanthemums 

 are in big demand and few, if any, 

 are going to waste. Pot mums are sell- 

 ing well. In fact, there has been a 

 great deal of stock shipped in from 

 other points to meet the demand. Car- 

 nations are plentiful at present, and 

 the quality is good. Violets continue 

 to have short stems, but they sell well 

 at fair prices. Roses are still scarce, 

 but the quality remains good. Orchids 

 are more in evidence than they were a 

 week ago, and of better quality. Lilies 

 and valley are rather scarce. Ferns are 

 selling better than they usually do at 

 this time of year. Fall planting of 

 trees and shrubs has started and prom- 

 ises to be a record breaker, as there 

 were so many good dwellings erected 

 this season here. Perhaps there has 

 never been a summer in the history of 

 Nashville when there were so many 

 good residences erected as this year. 



Various Notes. 



The bursting of the city reservoir 

 this week demolished a score of dwell- 

 ings, and threatened to cut some of our 

 growers off from a water supply for a 

 few days, but this was fortunately 

 averted. 



At Haury & Sons' place of business 

 the decorations were mostly single 

 chrysanthemum plants. They have 

 made a specialty of these pot plants 

 and s^y the sales are good. Their cut 

 mums are still in evidence, as well as 

 their carnations.
