Carnation Cuttings 



FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: 



Is it profitable to purchase cheap stock? Our experience has taught us that 

 you very rarely get a bargain in cheap cuttings or plants. 



We refuse positively to handle the cheaper grades. Our contracts are placed this year with the very 

 best growers in the country, each a specialist in his particular line. 



The quality is right. The packing is right, and, above all, the prices are right, and you 

 have our absolute guarantee with every order sent out.

New Varieties 



Cottage Maid: Clear shell pink, sport of Mrs. C. W. Ward, 

 possessing the same wonderful keeping and shipping qualities.

 well formed, splendid stem and calyx, splendid keaper. 



Doris: Color, brilliant maroon; vigorous grower, producing a 

 succession of high-grade blooms on long, stiff stems; good calyx. 



Rosalia: A true cerise pink; splendid grower and producer; 

 a good commercial variety in every respect. 



Old Gold: Deep yellow with faint pink stripes; the earliest 

 and freest flowering of all yellow varieties; a decided im- 

 provement over Yellow Prince.

potted plants could not be used and cut 

 flowers had to be furnished. 



A cold wave arrived December 27, 

 with an east wind and a snowfall of 

 about two inches. The lowest tempera- 

 ture, as officially reported, was 25 de- 

 grees, but in many places outside of the 

 husiness center the mercury fell 4 or 5 

 •legrees lower. 



Various Notes. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. and the Floral 

 f^tiidio opened branch stores for the 

 ^'liriatmas rush. 



The Holden Floral Co. and August 

 ■^itzewitz share the honors as growers 



of the fine Cincinnati and Melior be- 

 gonias. 



Clarke Bros, showed some yellow tu- 

 lips in pans, the first of the season. This 

 firm had some good azaleas, carried-over 

 stock, which sold as high as $10 in 

 baskets. 



Max Smith had a special run on cycla- 

 mens. - 



The Martin & Forbes Co. cut a quan- 

 tity of extra fine Ophelia roses. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. cut over 150 

 dozen mums and sold them readily, get- 

 ting $5 per dozen for the best ones. 



A. F. Lalanc thinks he has a good 



location for business, opposite the main 

 entrance to the post-office. 



O. E. Moeller, who was formerly with 

 the store force of Max Smith, has 

 opened a store at 326 Alder street. 



F. A. Van Kirk cut some extra fine car- 

 nations, but did not have as many 

 blooms as usual. 



Kose growers report the prospect good 

 for a heavy cut of midwinter stock, as 

 the plants have formed but few blind 

 shoots. S. W. W. 



Hinton, W. Va.— A retail florists' 

 business is in the making here, with 

 Mrs. R. E. Parker as sponsor.
