HENRY A. DREER, 



714 CHESTNUT ST., PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



WASHINGTON. 



Stock is now at its lowest point for 

 this season. Except for an occasional 

 funeral order there is but little busi- 

 ness done. 



What roses that are brought in come 

 from carried-over stock and bring 

 from 2 to 3 cents. There are all kinds 

 of roses but few carnations on the 

 market, and all outdoor stock is poor 

 on account of the drouth. 



Our growers in general are now 

 through planting roses and are mak- 

 ing preparations for carnations, and 

 between times are taking short vaca- 

 tion trips. 



D. Z. Blackstone and Fred Miller are 

 enjoying a fishing trip at Bath, Me.; 

 George Schaffer and Henry Guten- 

 hemei have just returned from a pleas- 

 ant yacht and bass-fishing trip to Har- 

 per's Ferry, and quite a number of the 

 boys are gone for a few days. 



E. T. Fisher of Lynchburg, Va , for 

 a number of years its prominent florist, 

 stole a march on the boys the other 

 day by coming up on an excurs on, 

 with his intended bride, Mrs. Wright, 

 also in the florist business, and quietly 

 getting married. Being strangers in 

 the city, they were guided by our cor- 

 respondent, and after some light re- 

 freshments left for the west on a two 

 months' trip. 



W. F. Gude is hustling around get- 

 ting the boys together for New York, 

 and from present indications quite a 

 number will go. As yet they are un- 

 decided as to whether they will go by 

 rail or sea. 



Paul Berkowitz was around this 

 week and was booming the comng 

 convention. F. H. KRAMER.

SWEET PEA FOR FORCING 



Seed, $10 per lb., $1.50 per oz. 



This grand variety is for inside culture only. 

 The Howers first appear from September to No- 

 vember 20th, and Hov\'ers from then all winter un- 

 til June. From middle bench, 6V^.\1U0 feet, I cut 

 an average of S4 do/en per day; grows onjv i^A ft. 

 high and flowers on l-'i-inch stems; color similar 

 to Blanche Ferry. They are easily grown and 

 with each order I wilj send directions as to the 

 way I grow ttiem. I have raised them S years now 

 and they do well every year. .^11 seed is from se- 

 lected plants raised inside, and I will guarantee 

 them to riower all winter. Plant after your mums. 

 Have only a small quantity of seed, so first come, 

 rirst served. Send check or money order with 

 your order.
