WHITE CARNATIONS 



WILL SOON BE IN DEMAND, WHEN 

 MUMS ARE GONE. 



Murphy's White 



The coming commercial carnation is standing the test on 

 long shipments to Chicago, Buffalo, Pittsburg, and St. 

 Louis. It IS a bloomer, or we could not keep up the supply 

 we have since Aug. 15 to date, and still plenty of buds 

 in sight for the Holidays. You will not make a mistake in stocking up on this variety. Rooted Cuttings, $6.00 per JOO; $50.00 per 

 1000. $45.00 on 5000 and $40.00 on 10,000 lots. We are headquarters for Carnation Blooms in Cincinnati. Try us on a shipment.

quantities of orchids, American Beauties 

 and chrysanthemums were used. Suf- 

 fice it to say that the decorations were 

 e.vquisite. Randolph & McClements had 

 this decoration. Mr. Peacock is a mem- 

 ber of the U. S. Steel Co. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is hand- 

 ling some very good Cypripedium insigne, 

 Romau hyaeintlis and paper white nar- 

 cissus. Mr. Clarke, of that company, 

 informs the writer that they are adding 

 new consignors right along and that out 

 of town shipments are increa.sing. This 

 question was put to him the other day 

 by one of our prominent retailers: 

 "Could not more odds and ends such as 

 buuvaidia, candytuft, sweet alyssum, 

 swainsona, ixia. Bride gladiolus, ranun- 

 culus, etc., be sold here?" Brotlier 

 Clarke said a limited quantity could be 

 sold if they had it. 



A slick individual worked this little 

 game successfully on one of the down- 

 town florists last week. He 'phoned for 

 a handsome box of cut flowers, to cost 

 .$2.i, and to be delivered to a well known 

 address, with instructions to the sales- 

 man to send sufficient change for a 

 $50 check. The fellow met the messen- 

 ger at the entrance to the house, re- 

 lieved him of his box and $25 change, 

 and handed him a tip and a worthless 

 cheek. Hoo-Hoo. 



At the last meeting of the Pittsburg 

 and Allegheny Florists' and Gardeners' 

 Club, I was instructed to notify you of- 

 ficially that the officers of the club for 

 the year 1902 are as follows: Presi- 

 dent, Wm. Falconer; vice-president, E. 

 C. Eeineman; secretary, H. P. Joslin; 

 assistant secretary, E. C. Ludwig; treas- 

 urer, Fred Burki ; executive committee, 

 Fred Burki, Jno. Bader, P. S. Randolph. 

 H. P. Joslin, Sec'y. 



A Seasonable Hint.— This is a good 

 time to order a copy of the Florists' 

 Manual, by Wilham Scott, if you do not 

 already have a copy. It costs $5, but 

 contains more matter of real value to 

 florists than a library of other books 

 costing from $50 to $75.
