THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



FERNERIES 



Nearly everybody that comes into your store will take a little fern dish if you have pretty ones. 



We have a good selection ready for you. 



BASKETS 



Show a marked improvement this season. Those for plants are very useful, now that house fur- 

 nishing is not complete without a few good plants. Then we have a wonderful assortment for 



cut flower gifts — all have pans made to fit. 



WREATHS 



Get your stock of Immortelles, Magnolias, Grasses, Berries and Fern Fronds now. Ready 



for use when needed— it pays to be ahead of time.

he marketed flax, not flats, while on his 

 holiday in the west. Mr. Eeid's chrys- 

 anthemums — Oconto, white; Chrysolora 

 and Pacific Supreme, pink — are magnifi- 

 cent. 



Eobert A. Craig was in New York 

 October 24 and 25. 



There are fine Chrysolora mums at 

 the Philadelphia Wholesale Florists' 

 Exchange; Early Snow at the Philadel- 

 phia Cut Flower Co., and Chrysolora at 

 William J. Baker's this week.

The Market. 



Midseason mums of good quality are 

 plentiful. Carnations are satisfactory 

 and the price still holds up. Boses of 

 excellent quality are plentiful. A num- 

 ber of funerals has kept stock well 

 cleaned up. 



Various Notes. 



William H. Davenport reports busi- 

 ness good. He has met with success 

 since moving into his store on the cor- 

 ner of Middle and Purchase streets. 



Fred C. Covill had the most attrac- 

 tive window in the city last week. 



Edward M. Pierce is cutting some 

 first-class violets. He also is marketing 

 some fine mums of standard midseason 

 varieties. 



Some of the finest mums in the mar- 

 ket are being sent in by the Peckham 

 Floral Co., of Fairhaven. 



James Garthley, of Fairhaven, reports 

 business good. He had considerable fu- 

 neral work last week. W. M. P,

The Market. 

 The tremendous influx of mums, 



so 



much earlier and larger a flood than 

 usual, has the market at its mercy and 

 leaves a problem hard to solve. The 

 volume of business was large at the 

 close of last week, but values were cut 

 in two, to make any visible impression 

 upon the enormous supply. Mums worth 

 $4 per dozen were sold at $2.50 and

under; grand stock was offered at $10 

 per hundred; and still there was ap- 

 parently no end to the supply. Some 

 of the wholesalers would not even let 

 me look into their iceboxes and cellars. 

 No wonder; the counters and windows 

 were actually making an ordinary 

 chrysanthemum show pale with envy. 

 Charles Totty's gems and new wonders 

 were on sale, and the grower himself 

 was in the city October 21, contem- 

 plating the situation. 



It is hard to diagnose correctly or 

 list fairly the prices of the present 

 week, but one thing is certain — the day 

 of $6 per dozen and over for mums is 

 waning. 



Mum plants also are here in abun- 

 dance and a lot of small or mediocre 

 stock that meets with a light demand. 



In addition to the burden of mums, 

 there is an excess of roses that the mar-

ket must carry. In quantities October 

 21 these were actually offered as low as 

 $5 per thousand. Needless to say, the 

 big stores handled these bargains. 



Americana-Beauties were down and 

 seemed to carry the whole rose market 

 with them. The best of them fell to 

 20 cents each and under. All other va- 

 rieties of roses joined in the sym- 

 pathetic slump; even the novelties were 

 neglected. The supply is exceedingly 

 large and surely no fault can be found
