Merry Christmas 



' A recent visitor remarked to us: "A scarlet Carnation must produce all first 

 quality blooms to be satisfactory, because there is little chance to work off culls." 

 He bought Merry Christmas because he was unable to find a single cull flower 

 on the whole bench. Come and see for yourself. 



December cuttings all sold. Booking orders now for January delivery.. $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

The Market. 



The supply of stock in the market at 

 this writing is far in excess of the de- 

 mand. Mums are almost a glut, and the 

 bright, warm weather will cut down the 

 Thanksgiving crop. Roses are plenti- 

 ful and the quality is good on all va- 

 rieties with the possible exception of 

 Killarney. Beauties and Ophelias are 

 especially fine. Carnations are picking 

 up both in quality and quantity. A few 

 home-grown violets are to be seen, but 

 the bulk of the supply comes from 

 California. 



Some of the growers arc going in 

 heavily on cyclamens, which are to take 

 the place of azaleas at Christmas, as 

 the latter will be a scarce article around 

 the holidays. So far not a shipment of 

 azaleas has been received and the pros- 

 pects for any of the plants are not 

 encouraging. Funeral work was slack 

 last week with some of the retailers, 

 while others have been rushed. 



Various Notes. 



The Parker Flower Shop had an ex- 

 ceptionally heavy run on mums last 

 week. The force has been stepping 

 lively getting out funeral work. 



Carnations and ferns were the two 

 leading crops at the greenhouses of 

 George Sorensen. 



Henry Peterson has some sweet pea 

 plants that promise splendid blooms 

 later on. 



A visit to the Charles Ederer range 

 found the proprietor almost too busy 

 to talk shop. Last summer he added 

 several new houses to his range and 

 planted them to rose plants, which look 

 fair, considering the fac{ that they were 

 not benched until late in August. The 

 carnations and mums grown by Mr. 

 Ederer are as good as any I have seen. 



Owing to the small demand here for 

 orchids, Hess & Swoboda arc shipping 

 theirs to the Chicago market. Their 

 mums and cyclamens are extra fine, as 

 well as their roses. L. S. H. 



Petoskey, Mich.— B. W. Cryderman is 

 a grower of asters and other flowers in 

 quantity.
