TO GROWERS 



Determining tbe financial responsibility of your consignee is as important 

 as selecting the best flowers to grow. We have tbe best of references for tbe 

 ten years we have been in business, from our bankers and our growers, which 

 we will cheerfully furnish upon application. 



We desire a few more shippers and if you consign to us we can assure you 

 that we will most conscientiously endeavor to justify whatever confidence may 

 be reposed in us.

"was the only white staple that made 

 any sort of a good record. Since 

 Thanksgiving the pace has moderated 

 somewhat but still the situation is 

 quite satisfactory. Cattleyas are very 

 scarce, labiatas being about finished 

 and Trianas still a future proposition 

 with Gaskelliana holding the field at 

 prices double those of last season at 

 same date. Southern grown asparagus 

 is coming in by the truck-load and. 

 while selling well, the supply exceeds 

 the demand. Bonnaffon is the chrys- 

 anthemum most in evidence every- 

 where. 



Thanksgiving 

 PHILADELPHIA week was pretty 



good here and 

 would have been better if we had had 

 the usual army and navy game. But 

 notwithstanding; stocks were pretty 

 well cleaned up and there was no 

 great surplus. Towards the end of 

 the week carnations sold better and 

 prices held firm. The quality keeps 

 improving — the leaders at present be- 

 ing Ward, White Wonder, Enchantress 

 Supreme and Gloriosa. In roses fine 

 crops of Beauty and Richmond are 

 coming is and are selling well. Kil- 

 larney leads in the pink rose section 

 very fine although a little off color on 

 account of the dull weather. White 

 Killarney has the field all to itself. In 

 the yellow class Sunburst, Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward and Melody are very good. Gar- 

 denias are in moderate supply with 

 demand excellent. There are still a few 

 chrysanthemums around — mostly 

 Jones, Eaton, Chadwick and Nonin. 

 The only pink is Enguehard and so 

 few hardly worth mentioning. 



The Thanksgiving mar- 

 ST. LOUIS ket was in good shape 

 all during the past 

 week. Of chrysanthemums the market 

 had a good-supply. They are now on 

 the decline. The season on them has 

 been good in both price and quality. 

 The demand on roses, carnations, was 

 also good all week, the former holding 

 its own while the latter are more in 

 quantity than the demand calls for. 

 California violets sell out each day.

Sweet peas are not yet in plenty but 

 the few are of extra good quality and 

 clean up easily. Most other things are 

 more than the demand calls for. 



Business for the 

 WASHINGTON past week shows 

 a decided improve- 

 ment over the brand that has been so 

 familiar in Washington for some time 

 back. Thanksgiving Day business 

 was the equal of any of the previous 

 years. The dark and rainy days have 

 greatly lessened the supply of carna- 

 tions causing the prices to rise. Cat- 

 tleyas, too, are very scarce and 

 American Beauty Roses have advanced 

 in price. The supply of violets is 

 very heavy. Narcissus is among the 

 new arrivals but is meeting with a 

 limited sale as yet. 



Sunday, Nov. 16th. Mr. Burrows is a 

 well-known florist. 



We are much pleased to be able to 

 report that James Farquhar of Boston 

 who has been confined to his home by 

 illness which for a time alarmed his 

 friends is rapidly recovering and ex- 

 pects to be fully able to go back to 

 business within two weeks. 



William Hogg, employed in the bulb 

 department of A. T. Boddington, New 

 York City, was accidentally asphixi- 

 ated by escaping gas at his boarding 

 house last Sunday morning and is still 

 unconscious at the hospital, with 

 chances for recovery very slim.

Harry Francis, formerly of Madi- 

 son. N. J., but recently in Florida, is

Mrs. Ella F. Belcher of So. Wey- 

 mouth, Mass., and John G. Burrows of 

 Onset, were married at the latter town 



James McLeish, the Newport grape 

 grower, returned home Nov. 26 after a 

 six weeks' vacation, visiting Scotland, 

 his native country. Among the many 

 places he explored besides Roseneath, 

 his native town, was Edinburgh where 

 he attended the horticultural exhibi- 

 tion, and reports great progress hav- 

 ing been made in chrysanthemums, 

 grapes and other things during his 

 absence of twenty-seven years. Mr. 

 McLeish was accompanied by Mrs. 

 McLeish.
