Crops of all kinds are shortening up. 

 This has now improved prices from 

 25 to 50 per cent, so that the same 

 money is iieing received hy the grower 

 and much more easily obtained. Am. 

 Beauty roses are selling at $4 to $25 

 per 100; Meteors, ?1 to $4; pinlc, white 

 and yellow from 50 cents to ?6, and a 

 choice few at $8 or more. Carnations 

 from 50 cents to $2, with l^etter grades 

 scarce; asters, 25 cents to $1.50 and 

 quality depreciating. Wind, rain and 

 cold weather are the causes of all this 

 disturbance, frost having appeared in 

 a few instances. I do not thinii there 

 is yet any appreciable increase in the 

 demand. 



All indications point to a good 

 chrysanthemum crop and also a good 

 violet crop, although the former is a 

 little behind time on arrival of the 

 main cut. 



Notes. 



John Clark, formerly with Thos. J. 

 Grey & Co., has transferred his alle- 

 giance to the house of W. W. Rawson 

 & Co. It is distinctly not a case "of 

 two evils choose the least," but "of 

 two good things push along the best" 

 — or at least the one that produces the 

 most shekels. 



According to a Natick newspaper, 

 the mammoth rose houses of that town 

 are now incorporated; several wealthy 

 Boston men being financially interest- 

 ed and one of them serving as treas- 

 urer, with duties "executive rather 

 than clerical." Of course, Mr. E. M. 

 Woods is president of the corpora- 

 tion. 



The question is just now not so 

 much who struck Billy Patterson as 

 who stole Paul Richwagen's three hun- 

 dred and fifty Lawson pink plants 

 right out of the mud in his field! 

 Paul could use that fellow in his busi- 

 ness. B. T. 



•'EVERYTHING FOR THE FLORIST." 



The Dew catalogue of " Everythine for tfie Flor- 

 ist. '" just issued bv E. H. Hunt. Chicago, is worthy 

 of special note. It contains not only a long list 

 of all sorts of supplies needed by the trade but a 

 lot of halftone enera\'ings from original photo- 

 graphs th t are a very great advance on the usual 

 catalogue illustrations. We e.xtend our congratu- 

 lations. It is a catalogue that every one in the 

 trade should have. 



L.ANGDON. D. C— W. H. King has gone out of 

 the florist business.

NEW GERANIUM 

 LITTLE PINK 



Or Double Fink "Mars.*' one of the best nov- 

 elties of tfie Mars family. The first double of this 

 class ever offered to the trade. It is a very dwarf, 

 bushy, compact and extra free blooming variety, 

 not exceeding 4 to H inches in height. Us trusses 

 a pleasing shade of bright pink, upper petals white 

 at tfie base. Unlike Mars or America in color, it 

 has no trace of salmon shading. Its miniature 

 trusses stand erect. 3 to ti inches above the foliage. 

 It is excellent for bedding, for the border, or as a 

 pot plant. Too much praise cannot be given this 

 grand little pink variety. Price $.5.00 per doz.. 

 $35.00 per 100. Half-tone cuts will be furnished 

 free of charee for catalogue. Correspondence so- 

 licited. Orders booked now for fall and winter de- 

 livery. Received certificate of merit at the New 

 York Convention of the Society of American 

 Florists.
