NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Chrysanthemums of all varieties now 

 are in their prime and dominate the 

 flower market. Not only are the mums 

 plentiful, but they also are of excel- 

 lent quality. The prices are reasonable, 

 not low. So many buyers want chrys- 

 anthemums that there is comparatively 

 little demand for other kinds of flowers, 

 though these are plentiful and the prices 

 moderate. Carnations are of fine qual- 

 ity and in good supply. There are 

 enough violets for the demand and they 

 are reasonably priced for this season 

 of the year. Roses are high-priced for 

 the mum season. Valley is scarce and 

 high. Some of the florists report a 

 good demand for Boston ferns. 



Various Notes. 



Charles J. Connolly reports business 

 good, with stock plentiful and prices 

 reasonable. 



Plebarny & Son, of Irvington, have 

 some fine chrysanthemums in their 

 greenhouses, but report that not so 

 much is realized on them this year as 

 in previous years. They have a fine 

 lot of sweet peas that will be ready as 

 soon as there is a greater demand for 

 them. 



Henry Leahy & Co., of Elizabeth, had 

 an attractive window last week, yellow 

 chrysanthemums of different sizes and 

 shades forming the center of the dis- 

 play, with mums of other colors and 

 other flowers arranged around the sides 

 and at the foot of the big bouquets of 

 yellow chrysanthemums. Yellow baby 

 ribbon ran from a central bouquet to 

 the others. 



Philips Bros, report business good, 

 with a large quantity of wedding work 

 for this time of year. Counter trade is 

 good. R. B. M. 



Denver, Colo. — Business is excellent 

 and there already is good inquiry for 

 Christmas stock. J. A. Valentine, presi- 

 dent of the Park Floral Co., says the 

 indications are that blooming plants 

 are almost certain to be sold out before 

 the middle of December.

Especially is this true in the buying of Fertilizers to use 

 as a feed for either Flowers or Vegetables. 



That's why so many growers now insist on Magic Fer- 

 tilizers, knowing they always get the very best. 



Magic Fertilizers contain more natural plant food than 

 other brands, because — 



They are manufactured solely from Animal Blood, Animal 

 Bone and High-grade Animal Tankage. And Pure Humus 

 is the make-weight, or filler. 



Why not buy the Best Fertilizers at Factory-to-Consumer 

 Prices ? Write today for our price list. 



Also ask for booklet "Fertilization and Methods Adaptable 

 in the Modern Greenhouse," and the famous Fertilizer Charts.
