HARTFORD, CONN. 



TiHile is pk-king up well and the sup- 

 ))ly is about equal to the demand, except 

 perhaps earnations and violets, tlie lat- 

 ter beincr well cleaned up by the Yale- 

 Harvard football same. 



John ('oonil)s' large carnation house 

 is a sea of Imds. with a liberal sprink- 

 ling o"t line blooms. 



(t. S. Osborn and George Goodwin are 

 bringing up in the rear, and as the 

 homestretch to Christmas nears look 

 out for a smashing crop and a score of 

 perhaps 22 to 0. 



Walter A. Power, who has been mak 

 ing lots' of bluster in his ads. offerin>r 

 carnations at 25 cents a dozen. Boston 

 ferns 10 cents each, violets .50 cents a 

 hundred, and similar profit killing prices 

 im other goods, has been attached by 

 local firms for claims said to be between 

 $(!.(H)(( and .$7,000. 



In addition to the above, claims are 

 recorded in the town clerk's office as 

 follows: mortgages. .■flO.OOO: mechan- 

 ics' liens, .$2.!),S(ir(i4. A local paper in 

 whicji the ads referred to were printed, 

 winds u)) the account of the attachments 

 ill lliese words: "He is widely known 

 for his enter|irise." This is no doubt 

 tiiii'. but wouldn't that jar you'r If 

 linl. ask the creditors. " O. 



FREMONT, NEB. 



Tlianksgiving trade was very good 

 tliis year with us. Considerably better 

 tlian last season in volume of busine.ss 

 and also on account of not having to 

 buy stock. Our stuff is fine and we are 

 cutting plenty of it. 



In carnations we find Kthel Crocker 

 vastly superior to last year. T!y giving 

 it a little e.xtra heat it 'is all that could 

 be desired. J.awson, on the other hand, 

 lias so far given a big per cent of short- 

 stemmed, off-colored blooms. We grow 

 besides the above, Argyle. Crane. Lord. 

 :ilary Wood, liradt. Chicago. Gold Nug- 

 get. JIcGowan, Melba, .loost. Gomez and 

 Flora Hill. Will try a few of the new- 

 er sorts this season. 



^Iiims have sold exceptionally well, the 

 last being cleaned up with a rush for 

 Thanksgiving. 



Violets are u]) to our usual .standard, 

 which is ])rctty liiMJ,. \Vp grow only 

 !Maiie Louise and Swaidey White. Tliev 

 require more care but give better results 

 when ]u-operly grown than any others. 



In roses we have lirides. ilaids. Liber- 

 ty. Perles and Wootton, The last named 

 is very profitable with us. producinsr an 

 abundance of Al flowers with stems 14 

 to 20 inches long. They are just the 

 thing for yoiins men with .\mericaii 

 Beauty girls and carnation incomes. 



Weather is good. l>eing bright and 

 rather warm, and we hope it will re- 

 main so until Christinas, as all indica- 

 tions point to an immense business at 

 tliat time. C. H. Gheex.

i The Mrs. E. A. Nelson i 



bids fair to become the comniercial Standard pink car- 

 nation. It is a healthy grower, a free and continuous bloomer, 

 and it is sure to thrive wherever grown. The following letter 

 from Mr. A, N. Pierson speaks for itself: 



Chomweh., Coxx.. November 25. 1901. 



Mil. E. A. NELSON. DEAiiSiK: From what I have seen of the "E. A. Nelson" I leel no 

 liesitation in sa.viug that ii is in every respect a first-class comniercial variety. The plants 

 you sent ns were srown in the Iield. and made by far the BEST GROWTH of any, and were 

 especially noticeable anion? 26.000 plants for the clean, vigorous growth they made. The 

 plants suffered no check on benching and the flowers produced have been of hi"i?h grrade. We 

 hope that next season will find at least two thousand ■•Nelsons" in our benches. 



Very truly yonrs. WALLACE R. PIERSON. For A. N. Pierson.
