Some fine Killarney Queen are coming 

 in, on long stems. Lady Hillingdon is 

 the best yellow. Aaron Ward is also 

 good, but the stems are short. Ameri- 

 can Beauties are scarce. The growers 

 are holding them back for Christmas. 

 Carnations are good; the cool weather 

 has hardened them and they meet with 

 a fair demand. White Wonder seems 

 to be about the best white and is more 

 than ■ holding its own with White 

 Enchantress and White Perfection. 

 Mums are plentiful; in fact, there are 

 more than enough. The best flowers 

 sell well, but the poorer grades are only 

 a drag on the market. Violets are good 

 and meet with a fair demand. Aspara- 

 gus plumosus and Sprengeri clean up, 

 with adiantum a good second. Smilax 

 is scarce. 



Various Notes. 



John Coombs reports business excel- 

 lent, and anticipates a good trade for 

 Thanksgiving. 



G. McClunie was kept busy last week 

 with funeral work and decorations. 



Joseph Intraviva has opened a flower 

 store on Main street, Middletown, and 

 is doing well. 



Emil Koenig has gone to take a posi- 

 tion in Eoanoke, Va. 



The plant of A. N. Pierson, Crom- 

 well, Conn., is in fine shape. This con- 

 cern grows 65,000 carnations, and they 

 are giving an excellent cut. The roses 

 also are looking good. Killarney 

 Queen is a splendid grower. Dark Pink 

 Killarney is good since the weather be- 

 came cool. Their new rose, Milady, is 

 attracting wide attention and is getting 

 better and better as the season ad- 

 vances. Anton Olson is back at his 

 old position as gardenia grower, having 

 now recovered from the wounds re- 

 ceived when he was attacked by an 

 Italian employed under him.
