This special offer is made to reduce our stoeli to a certain limit of space 

 which we can devote to this plant, and will be withdrawn as soon as reduced to 

 this limit. Without a doubt, the demand for this, the most important and valuable 

 of all winter flowering plants, will this season again be far in excess of the sup- 

 plies now in sight. 



While all the Lorraine Begonias are difficult plants to handle during the 

 spring months, we know of no other soft wooded plant which grows so freely at 

 this season of the year, and with the most ordinary facilities you will have no 

 difiiculty in successfully growing now, and flowering it at a handsome margin of 

 profit for the holidays. 



To give best results, the larger sizes, above three-inch, must be shipped in pots.

Trade Notes. 



Trade in general seems very fair for 

 this season of the year. Good stock of 

 all kinds moves very well but the sup- 

 ply is still rather limited in really good 

 stock. Many roses are mildewed, but 

 most of the carnations that come in are 

 very fair. The end of this week will 

 likely see some chrysanthemums in this 

 market. We have had no "mum" 

 weather up to date and there has been 

 no demand for them yet. Present in- 

 dications are that the quality in gen- 

 eral will be very good as nearly all 

 the plants have made a short, heavy 

 growth on account of the heat the past 

 summer, except where the houses were 

 heavily shaded. Carnations, too, are 

 making strong growth and the quality 

 will be very high this season. 



The State Florists' Association met 

 at the Commercial Club room on the 

 first day of this month and a good 

 number were present. The main ques- 

 tion before the meeting was as to wheth- 

 er badges to be used during the show 

 in November should be furnished by 

 the Florists' Association or whether 

 they should be supplied by the associa- 

 tion which has the show in charge. It 

 took about an hour's debate to decide 

 that they should be furnished by the 

 show management. A committee was 

 appointed to arrange for receiving and 

 entertaining the visiting florists. John 

 Hartje had on show a lot of very prom- 

 ising carnation seedlings and among 

 them were some fine whites. A. B. 



Heupstead, L. I. — Extensive improve- 

 ments are being made at the greenhouses 

 of George Rogers. One new house, 22x 

 105, is being inclosed, and two No. 12 

 Seollay Invincible boilers are being in- 

 stalled to heat the eight houses. When 

 completed Mr. PvOgers will have a thor- 

 oughly modern and well equipped plant. 



Framingham, Mass. — Sewall Fisher, 

 well known to the trade in the past as 

 a carnation grower, has retired from 

 business and has removed to Boston. 



Sibley, III. — Wm. Kirkham, formerly 

 of Chicago, is now in charge of the gr.een- 

 houses of Henrv Diers here.
