MERRY CHRISTMAS 



FIVE YEARS AGO we offered you Pocahontas, with the assurance that it would soon displace all other 

 crimsons. Some of you bought it and were glad. Others turned it down and later on regretted having done 

 so. That is why the demand for the cuttings was fully double the supply this past winter. This is not 

 meant for a complaint, but merely to caution you not to make the same mistake with Merry Christinas. We 

 believe that Merry Christmas will take the same place among scarlets that Pocahontas holds among the 

 crimsons. If you have confidence in our judgment, send us your order now and get in on the early deliveries. Dissemina- 

 tion begins next December.

The Market. 



The market, which was glutted with 

 stock at the beginning of the week, 

 was in somewhat better condition at 

 the close of the week. The four days 

 of steady rain shortened the cut to some 

 extent and kept the surplus down so 

 that it was not troublesome. Good 

 stock cleaned up well and, taken as a 

 whole, business was good last week. 

 Shipping trade was exceptionally good 

 and the stock was in fine shape. Both 

 carnations and roses are plentiful and 

 good, but the receipts of sweet peas 

 fell off tremendously and these were 

 really scarce for a time. The weather 

 has improved, but the needed drop in 

 the cut brought the supply down so 

 that it could be handled without diffi- 

 culty. 



Valley and greens are having a large 

 sale, on account of the June weddings. 

 The supply is sufficient to take care of 

 the demand. Outdoor peonies are be- 

 ginning to come in, but the supply is 

 small and easily handled. Orchids are 

 in good supply and are selling well. 

 Plant sales continue large and a large 

 quantity of stock is being moved. The 

 late spring will probably carry this 

 business through to the end of this 

 month. ^^^^ jj^g 



J. M. Fox, of J. M. Fox & Son, 437 

 Milwaukee street, passed away at his 

 home Wednesday, June 7. J. F. Fox, 

 his son, who had charge of the flower 

 department, has the deep sympathy of 

 his many friends in the trade. 



William Lubliner, of 225 Grand ave- 

 nue, has attracted much attention with 

 his display window this spring. 

 Mothers' day he had a model of a 

 benevolent lady, with a messenger 

 bringing her a box of flowers. Memo- 

 rial day a grave, with models of an old 

 soldier and a little girl, made quite an 

 impression. He now has a replica of a 

 blushing bride for the merry month of 

 June. H. J. S. 



Joliet, ni. — Two greenhouses, one 42x

 Moninger Co., of Chicago.
