THAT'S ONE REASON why the Bayersdorfer & Co. Exhibit at Rochester caused so much interest 

 and induced so many heavy orders from the sagacious florists who go to conventions. 



NEXT TO QUALITY COMES PRICE. Buying direct from first hands, under personal super. 

 vi»ion, gives us the advantage over all oiheis on imported goods and our facilities for manufacturing in quan- 

 tity make us impregnable when it comes to home made goods. 



Our goods are all fresh and up to date and the novelties have selling merit. 



Gild and Silver Filagree Baskets, Imperial China Ware in Vases and Ferneries, Sprays of Prepared Foliage 

 in Autumn Gold and Brown are popular and timely novelties. They sell at sight. 



Send to ut for Fall List. You can't beat it for variety and price. —

tieyas regularly for the Chicago trade 

 long before there was any grown lo- 

 cally. 



Strawberries no longer cause any 

 surprise, for reports are coming in 

 daily of the second crop. In Whiting, 

 Ind., the berries are large and of fine 

 flavor. Snowballs are in bloom and 

 many of the most experienced cannot 

 recall this occurrence in October be- 

 fore. 



Hoerber Bros, are finding the White 

 Killarney superior to the Bride at this 

 time of the year, but they grow a large 

 number of the latter for winter bloom- 

 ing. Mr. Hoerber thinks that the day 

 of the Bridesmaid is about over as a 

 commercial flower. After experiencing 

 most of the trials of the beginner, 

 this firm now has things in fine shape 

 for a good season. 



Among the growers who made a 

 record at the State Fair at Springfield 

 were Poehlmann Bros., who made 2.5 

 entries and secured that exact number 

 of premiums; and the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co., who carried off eight premi- 

 ums on eight entries. The Washing- 

 ton won first premium. This carna- 

 tion is of a true Lawson color and 

 blooms five days old that showed no 

 signs of fading were seen by the 

 writer. 



During the Ogden Avenue street car- 

 nival last Saturday evening J. Simp- 

 son had his delivery wagon in the pa- 

 rade. It was done entirely in salvias, 

 using masses of the plants around the 

 wagon, which was edged with bunting 

 and a huge bunch of salvia at either 

 side of the front. It was pronounced 

 an unusually effective piece of deco- 

 rating by those who saw it. These 

 carnivals are held each Saturday in 

 various parts of the city and are 

 taken advantage of by the florists who 

 wish to make themselves known as 

 progressive.
