Brides and Bridesmaids are slow in coming up to the mark. Carnations are also improved. Some fine Goethes are on the market. Blind Brothers will have a house of excellent Golden Wedding and a house of Timothy Eaton chrysanthemums. They also have half a house of Gloire de Lor- raine begonia. Blind Brothers have made remarkable strides in the six years they have been in business. In that time they have erected 50,000 feet of glass and anticipate further expansion in the future. J. B. Murdoch & Company are delighted with the fine progress of their carnation plants. The entire stock is very vigor- ous and perfectly free from disease. Mr. Murdoch states that there are already over 250,000 buds in sight. The Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists' Club held its monthly meeting on Octo- ber 7, the discourses of the evening being confined to the dahlias, of which there were several exhibits. Thirty members were present. George W. Goldner, of Reed & Keller, New York, was in a railroad wreck on October 3, near New Castle, Pa. His samples were destroyed but Mr. Goldner escaped injury. W. L. Campbell, of Castle Shannon, will cut over 2,000 gladioli this week and the quality will be high. Dave Geddes' new wagon was demol- ished in a runaway on Saturday. John Ferguson has a house of fine Sprengeri. E. L. H. M. HOOKER GO. Window Glass, Paints and Putty, Greenhouse Glass a Special
