This evergreen has become a very popular holiday specialty. Many of our 

 customers have handled them for several year's with increasing success. Christmas 

 novelties are scarce this season. These will help to fill in the gap. Will pot nicely 

 in 6-inch, 7-inch and 8-inch pots. They are also good material for filling window 

 and porch boxes, also vases and tubs for lawn and veranda decorations. 



Order now. We can ship at once or hold until December 1st.

 Like most other nurserymen all over the 

 country, we have been working under a 

 good many handicaps, the worst being 

 the serious shortage of labor, but we find 

 the demand for nearly all lines of nurs-

tically out of the market before the sea- 

 son is far advanced. There seems to 

 be an especial shortage in most kinds of 

 fruit trees. In ornamental stock we 

 have never known such an extraor- 

 dinarily, strong demand and at such high 

 prices for field-grown rose bushes. In 

 ornamental shrubbery and trees there is, 

 for the most part, a good demand, and 

 we think there will be a satisfactory 

 clean-up by the time business is over 

 next spring. Perennials also seem to 

 be selling readily. We thought six 

 weeks ago that we had a big oversupply 

 of perennial phloxes, but since then we 

 have sold all of what we would regard 

 as surplus and have bought several thou- 



sands from other growers to eke out our 

 supplies. Ampelopsis Veitchii and Clem- 

 atis paniculata appear to be unusually 

 scarce and in strong demand. 



Some Handicaps to Overcome. 



The business which we have booked 

 up to the present time is a few thou- 

 sand dollars behind what we had booked 

 at the same period last year — and last 

 year was the biggest year we ever had — 

 but this is readily accounted for by the 

 fact that on account of draft inroads 

 in our office and sales organization we 

 have not been able to keep our usual 

 number of traveling representatives on 

 the road. We are getting shaped up so
