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

 customers have handled them for several years 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.

The William Blackman Floral Co. re- 

 ports that business is excellent. The 

 company is having a nice cut of flowers, 

 including roses and carnations. Walter 

 Lent, of the designing force, was away 

 on a fishing trip last week. George 

 Blackman is still weak from the effects 

 of the influenza. E. L. F.

The Market. 



The weather so far this fall has been 

 exceptionally good for the florists' busi- 

 ness and there is absolutely no com- 

 plaint to make on the volume of trade 

 up to this time. The influenza epi- 

 demic is over and, while it seemed that 

 this caused the tremendously increased 

 demand for stock, sales have not yet 

 shown any shrinkage. If present con- 

 ditions are any criterion, this winter 

 and the following spring season should 

 be as prosperous as any the trade has 

 ever experienced. 



The supply of roses is normal, but the 

 demand so far exceeds the crop that 

 there is a continual shortage; the qual- 

 ity is good and prices are excellent. 

 Carnations are coming in more heavily 

 from day to day and of course the qual- 

 ity is gradually improving. The sup- 

 ply, however, is still far short of the de- 

 mand and, while indications point to a 

 good crop for Thanksgiving, it seems 

 impossible for the time to come when 

 orders on this stock can be filled in a 

 satisfactory manner. Chrysanthemums 

 ara arriving in quantities, but, due to
