Flower Market Reports, 



{Conttnufd from page brs) 



We have reached 

 NEW YORK the end of the earliei 



varieties of chrsyan- 

 themums and many fine blooms of 

 mid-season flowers are coming along 

 in quantity. The market is still un- 

 settled and is likely to remain so, 

 with exceptions, for several weeks to 

 come. Chrysanthemums are the dom- 

 inant factor and are selling at fig- 

 ures that compare favorably with last 

 year. Ivory and Bonnatfon are just 

 coming in and good blooms are not 

 difficult to dispose of. Roses are 

 steadily improving in size and sub- 

 stance. Beauties of first class quality 

 seem to move at a price, but inferior 

 stock has to be sold cheap. The price 

 difference between the good and the 

 bad is considerable. Of the small 

 roses, Maryland has somewhat of an 

 advantage over all the other pink vari- 

 eties, though it is only the few select- 

 ed flowers that bring a price. Pink 

 and white Killarneys a:'e plentiful and 

 cheap. The Bridesmaid crop is off at 

 present, Brides being heavier in sup- 

 ply. Carnations are improving in 

 quality and not so numerous as to suf- 

 fer in price. They are selling fairly 

 well — better than roses. Lily of the 

 valley holds its own — has been doing 

 very well for the past month. The 

 ppice of cattleyas has stiffened con- 

 siderably; supply light. Violets en- 

 joyed a spurt for a couple of days due

 It cannot be said, however, that they 

 are any more popular with the best 

 trade. The ordinary run of green 

 stock is plentiful enough but is gen- 

 erally cleaned up at fair figures. 



A BOSTON PLANT GROWING ES- 

 TABLISHMENT. 



The greenhouses of the W. W. Edgar 

 Company at Waverley, Jtass., which in 

 the time of its founder, the late W. 

 \V. Edgar, were one of the show places 

 for good culture are, under the skill- 

 ful management of H. H. Sartsch. fully 

 holding their record and never looked 

 finer than they do today. Azaleas, of 

 which there are about 15,000, have 

 been coming in and are being potted 

 up as rapidly as possible. For the 

 large sizes the low-stature pots are 

 used exclusively and the saving in soil 

 and weight is considerable. The varie- 

 ties in largest quantity are Simon 

 Mardner, Vervaeneaua, Firefly (Hexe) 

 and Yander Cruyssen. The latter, al- 

 though not classed among the earliest 

 bloomers, have their buds so large and 

 well advanced that it is expected they 

 can be had in bloom for the holidays. 

 In fact, the azalea stock through-.ut 

 has rarely been equalled for perfect 

 condition of foliage and number and 

 condition of buds. 



Among the other stock of timely in- 

 terest are the poinscttias, of which 

 there is a house full, in all sizes from 

 a few inches high up to big pans of 



several large specimens, Lorraine Be- 

 gonias from tiny thumb-pot size for 

 table compositions up to e.Khibition 

 plants, obconica primroses, cyclamens, 

 genistas, acacias and little feins of all 

 sorts. 



Pompon chrysanthemums, about 14 

 plants in a box 2S inches long, make 

 fine subjects for church or hall deco- 

 rations or florists' stoie window dis- 

 l''ays. Among the chrysanthemums 

 fu:- cut blooms, either in flower or 

 ■apidiy opening are Rieman, Alice 

 Byron, Touset, Bonnaffon, Merza, 

 I'Taton and Shrimpton— the latter pro- 

 vided especially for the rooters for the 

 Crimson in the Harvard-Yale football 

 game scheduled for next month. 



Herbeit E. George who has for the 

 last 3 years been in the employ ot 

 Char. Winsel, seedsman and nursery- 

 man of Los Angeles, Cat., has re- 

 signed to go into business at Covina, 

 "Gal. Mr. George intends to devote his 

 time principally to rose growing and 

 high-class shrubbery. He will join 

 partnei ship with Wm. Dibble. The 

 firm will be known as George & Dib- 

 ble Co.
