MERRY CHRISTMAS 



is the result of a long series of seedling crosses, beginning 

 with Beacon and Victory. It comes with long and always 

 strong stems early, and the bloom never appears sleepy. It 

 is an all-season scarlet and always high-grade, never splitting 

 the calyx and never off color. Come and see it growing. 



December and early January delivery all sold. 

 Booking orders now for Jan. 15th and later.

Tbe Market. 



Stock last week was far over on the 

 short side, short lengths in roses being 

 almost unobtainable. Kussell roses were 

 particularly scarce. Ophelia, Hoosier 

 Beauty, Ward, Eeid and novelty roses 

 cleaned up each day. Beauties are good, 

 with the short cuts scarce and the spe- 

 cials inclined to drag. Valley, violets 

 and orchids experience a good sale. 

 Mums now are a thing of the past. Car- 

 nations clear readily, bringing $4 to $6 

 per hundred.
