FROSTS CUT DOWN OUTDOOR STOCK.—FLO- RISTS ARE GAraERS.—MUCH FUNERAL WORK.—DEPARTMENT STORES DO PLANT BUSINESS. We have had several sharp frosts the past week and all vegetation is now brown or black. People who have been getting along with dahlias, cosmos and zinnias will now pay the flower stores and greenhouses a visit in search of some- thing else in the flower line. Business in funeral flowers has been booming the past ten days and the stores have been crowded with orders. The sale of chrys- anthemums has also been extra good. Three of the four stores buy all their flowers and they have had to send out of town for a large part of their supply lately. The department stores sell more rose bushes, rubber plants and ferns than all the florists together. They sell good rose bushes for 10 cents each. The coal situation is improving. Hard coal is $10, soft coal $7, with a prospect of further decline. A. B. H. Newport, R. I. NO CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW HERE THIS FALL. — COTTAGERS AWAY. — VARIOUS NOTES OF INTEREST. The Newport Horticultural Society will not hold a chrysanthemum exhibi- tion this fall. The gardeners at the cot- tages, whose productions have in the past reached the highest standard, have not grown chrysanthemums to any extent because their employers are not here for the exhibitions; besides chrysan- themums are not so much sought after here nowadays as formerly. In fact, it is doubtful whether this society will again hold another such show. There has been a controversy in our newspaper as to the originator of the Katharine Duer dahlia. The late Wm. Allan, for thirty years gardener for W. R. Travers, was the original owner, grower and namer of this dahlia, and his son, \V. Allan, is still gardener on the same grounds. Hard coal is offered at $12 per ton but not much ot it. C. J. M. Atco, N. J.—The dahlia season came pra
