NO NIGHT riREMAN REQIIRED Can be used with either HARD OR SOFT COAL. SEND FOR OUR NEW CATALOGUE. MADE S. WILKS MFG. CO. 35fh and Shields Ave., Cleveland. CARNATIONS SCARCE. Trade continued to be slow until the . latter part of the week; Friday saw a de- cided change for the better and by Satur- day all stock was cleaned up early in the 1 morning. Carnations were very scarce, many orders for them being only partly :filled. They brought %% to $4 per 100. Roses have shortened up. All sold well but American Beauty; these moved slow- ly. Lily of the valley, sweet peas and violets are in demand. Funerals were numerous. At present the outlook for ?Christmas stock is very promising; how^ . ever, unless the weather continues to be bright, the carnation crop will fall short . of that of last year. Azaleas, Begonia -Gloire de Lorraine, poinsettias and pri- mulas look their best and ought to be enticing to Christmas shoppers. All the stores have quite a holiday appearance,, being decorated with smilax, immortelle ?wreaths, bells and Christmas novelties. NOTES. Dave Livingston, Crawford road, has finished his new houses. All is in readi- ness for the Christmas trade; the houses of Boston and Piersoni ferns look very thrifty; Primula obconica and P. Chi- nensis, of which he has two houses, are exceptionally fine. Mr. Livingston takes great pride in his azaleas. Celestial pep- pers and Jerusalem cherries, which will be just right for the holiday trade. C. B. Wilhemy is very active these days; he will be on hand with a large variety of flowering plants for the holiday rush. P. J. Probeck, Morrison avenue, is send- ing unusually fine Paper White narcissi to the Florists' Exchange. Tlie J. M. Gasser Co. will have a splen- did lot
