FRANKLIN, PA. 



Philip llf'ilig roport.s an oxoelletit 

 ('lu'ihtiiias business. ThoiiKli hi.s cut 

 Wits very larfio. the inci'e.asinK tleniaiul 

 caused a scarcity of stock. Tliere was 

 a notably increased call for fancy 

 grades, especially in Beanties and car- 

 nations. Colored carnations in fancy 

 sorts were in remarkable demand and 

 .sold at $1 to $2.iJ0 a dozen. American 

 Beauties went at $8, $10 and .$1.5 a 

 dozen. California violet.s, $1 a bunch. 

 No bulbous stuff was offered. 



I'lants didn't move as well as ex- 

 pected, though good azaleas, cycla- 

 men, primula.s and poinsettias were of- 

 fered. It was useless to talk flowering 

 plants, palms or ferns to young men 



buyers. They wanted flowers, and 

 mainly fancy carnations, and would 

 have them or nothing. 



Mr. Heilig happened to have a patch 

 of smilax in blossom and the people 

 took it as a novelty. It sold reailily at 

 25 cents a yard or 73 cents a siring. 

 Late chrysanthemums did good serv- 

 ice and several hundred were sold at 

 .f2 to $2.00 a dozen. 



Large quantities of holly and othei 

 greens were sold. Tliey were handled 

 by all sorts of stores, which also had 

 paper llowers and artificial palms. But 

 this seemed to have no effect on the 

 sales of natural flowers. People who 

 buy this stuff wouldn't buy fresh flow- 

 ers, anyway. H.

LIVINGSTON'S MAGNUS. 



This very distinct and most promising new va- 

 riety, of the color of I5E.\utv and .\( mk is the latest 

 .(ddition by Livingston to the Tornato family. It 

 IS thicker, heavier, and more solid than either of 

 tiie above, making it easily the most handorne 

 -urt in cultivation. The form is perfect, uniform, 

 i.irge and attractive. Flesh very hrm. It is a robust 

 LTower. with short joints, setting its fruit clusters 

 -loser together than most varieties, and is there- 

 tore a heavy "cropper. It is especially adapted 

 lor shipping, and is remarkably fine for forcing 

 mdiiors and out.
