CUT BOXWOOD 



Our 20 years' experience handling quantities of this great Christmas Green puts us in touch 

 with so many pickers that we are in position to reject poor stock. We do not 0. K. WHAT- 

 EVER THE SHIPPER GIVES US. And our price on this selected quality is 



Only $15.00 per lOO lbs. (50-)b. cratea). PLAY SAFE. 



On account of freight and express congestion order it early. We will tell you how to keep 

 it fresh until used.

tinned by Frank M. Alter. Mr. Lanser 

 will devote himself to his greenhouses 

 on the Main Line. 



Samuel McClements and Mrs. Mc- 

 Clements, of Pittsburgh, Pa., were here 

 last week to see their son, Samuel, Jr., 

 who is a cadet stationed at Wissinom- 

 ing. 



A. Fredrick Dorff, well known as a 

 grower of snapdragons and novelties in 

 cut flowers, is devoting his greenhouses 

 sCt "W-issinoming to lettuce. 

 , Zieger & Sons will erect a greenhouse 

 60x96 feet on their place on East Wash- 

 iagtoji lane. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. made a fine 

 exhibit consisting of choice dahlias, 

 hardy perennials and roses. There were 

 oyer 150 separate varieties. A. A. 

 Powell was in charge. 



Eugene Bernheimer is receiving four- 

 teen different varieties of roses from 

 the Florex Gardens. When challenged 

 to name the varieties Benedict Gibbs 

 gave Killarney, Double White Killar- 

 ney, Ophelia, Maryland, Mrs. George 

 Shawyer, Hadley, Hoosier Beauty, 

 Sunburst, new pink Ophelia, Sweetheart, 

 Prima Donna, September Morn, George 

 Elger and Daily Mail, or Mrs. Herriot.

Richard Rothe, of Glenside, Pa., spoke 

 on "Rock Gardens," which he illus- 

 trated, before tlie Germantown Horti-

Owing to the late arrival of Dutch 

 bulbs, Dreer's store is closed until its 

 bulb orders are filled. Phil. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



The first killing frost of the season 

 visited us October 6, completely dev- 

 astating the gardens. Up to this time 

 local dahlias liad been the mainstay 

 of the market and were in good quan- 

 tity and quality, but now this source 

 has been extinguished, and the only 

 dahlias in tlio market are being shipped 

 in from outlying districts. A few gla- 

 dioli also arc being shipped in. 



Tlie scarcity of stock is acute; it is 

 a hard proposition to find enougii witli 

 which to fill orders. Carnations are 

 valuable property, but there are not 

 nearlv enough of thorn to meet require- 

 ments, at $2..")0 and $o per hundred. 

 Asters have been completely marked 

 off the lists of available flowers. Chrys- 

 anthemums are somewhat more plenti- 

 ful, in sucli varieties as Golden Glow, 

 Early Frost, Chrysolora, Smith's Ad- 

 vance and Unaka. 



Rosos are extremely close, and the 

 ipiality is good. Some excellent Rus- 

 sells are being cut. The prices range
