Business was quiet the first part of last week, but the latter part was ex- tremely busy, riowers have been plen- tiful, owing to favorable weather con- ditions, although there have been some light frosts. The dominant flower has been the chrysanthemum. There has been a good sale for Dr. Enguehard, Yellow Bon- naffon and Mensa. Pompons have been in great demand for table decorations. Ophelia, Shawyer, Mrs. Bussell and Hoosier Beauty are chiefly in demand among roses. There is a good sale for both double and single violets. There was a great demand for poppies for Ar- mistice day and a good business would have been done if the stock had been ob- tainable. Carnations have been plenti- ful. Calendulas have also been plenti- ful, with the demand brisk. Various Notes.

Kaspar, of the Kaspar Manufacturing Co., Chicago, and Hiram A. Frishkorn, of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, called on the trade in this city last week. A local firm, the E. F. Brinkman Co., has just signed a contract with the So- ciety of American Florists for 1,000 road signs, 7^>x20 feet, for $45,000. At the store of Edgar Wenninghoff, some Chinese narcissus plants have been on display and there has been a good de- mand for them. Mr. Wenninghoff has had some decidedly artistic window dis- plays recently. A. F. Syracuse, N. Y.—The Baker Floral Co. has sold its greenhouses
