. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 434 The American Florist. Oct. 27, Cincinnati. BUSINESS YEEY FAI2.— LAHGE FUNERAL AND WEDDING ORDERS.—DOINGS OF THE florists' SOCIETY.—NOTES. Business mifjht be termed fair, for the Friend wedding at Lockland last Mon- day and the Goepper funeral Saturday used up immense quantities of flowers. At the Goepper obsequies it was impossi- ble to get all the flowers into the house, there being three wagon-loads taken to the church. The cry at present is tor American Beauty roses and about the only good ones coming in are from George & Allan, which sell reaaily at $3 per dozen, wholesale. Chrysanthemums made their appearance in quantity last Wednesday, Bergmann, Willowbrook and Glory of Pacific being the varieties. There were only very few previous to that, but from now on this market will be pretty well supplied. The meeting of the Florists' Society Saturday evening was poorly attended, there being not more than a dozen pres- ent. The fall festival float committee handed in its report. Mr. Witterstaetter, in behalf of the society, made a neat little speech in which he thanked the commit- tee for their eS'orts. There were rumors afloat that the committee was short of funds, but when Mr. Brooks read the report it showed a cash balance of $7 26. Probably this will make one or two par- ties breathe a little easier. The commit- tee on exhibitions reported progress and we will have the first of our monthly shows in November, of chrysanthemums, roses and carnations. Frank Ball, of the Cincinnati Cut Flower Co., made a trip to Columbus recently and reports the diflerent places he visited as being in first-class condi- tion, with all the boys ready for a good business the coming winter. They say at the Cincinnati Cut Flower Company's that "Freddy" Gear is an expert telegraph operator. It you don't believe it ask "Benny" George or "Char- lie" Jones. E. G. Gillett
