The chrysanthemum, queen of the 

 autumn, is also queen of the market, for 

 mums are abundant, as well as superb 

 in quality and color. Chadwick Engue- 

 hard, Bonnaffon and Eaton are among 

 the best. It is predicted that there will 

 be an abundance of mums for Thanks- 

 giving, and they will be in splendid 

 condition because of the cooler weather. 

 Carnations are good, but they are rather 

 scarce and have gone up in price. Be- 

 cause of the great quantities of mums 

 in the market, roses are beginning to 

 pile up, though they are of good qual- 

 ity. Kiliarney and White Kiliarney are 

 both much better than they have been. 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward and Mrs. Taft roses 

 are excellent. 



Valley is good. Cypripedium orchids 

 are coming in, but are not selling well. 

 Violets have gone up in price and they 

 are in fine condition. Harrisii lilies are 

 scarce. Cyclamens are on sale in some 

 of the shops. Boxwood, asparagus, 

 hardy ferns and adiantums are plenti- 

 ful. 



Various Notes. 



Meacham & Hassell, on State street, 

 are showing some good cyclamens. They 

 have some artistic baskets on display in 

 their show window.

Mark Aitken has a new Peerless de- 

 livery auto, which was put into service 

 about November 13. Charles Eisele, of 

 Mark Aitken 's force, has been confined 

 to his home for several days, suffering 

 from tonsilitis. 



The store of Osterman & Steele has 

 been greatly improved by putting in a 

 new front and a large display window, 

 which shows off their goods to splendid 

 advantage. 



Visitors: J. Berg, of Lion & Co., New 

 York city; Thomas Cogger, of N. F. 

 McCarthy & Co., Boston; Mr. Macomber, 



Northampton; P. W. Snyder, of the 

 Edwards Folding Box Co., Philadelphia. 



Mrs. C. E. Warner 's display of dahlias 

 was unusually handsome this fall, and 

 was viewed by many visitors. 



A. N. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., 

 spent a day in this city recently. 



L. D. Robinson has just completed 

 two new greenhouses, one for azaleas 

 and the other for forcing bulbs. He 

 has purchased a Giblin boiler for heat- 

 ing the latter house. He has a nice lot 

 of Mme. Petrick azaleas in bloom for 

 Thanksgiving.
