If you are interested in Carnations, either as a grower or a seller, 

 come to the American Carnation Society's meeting in Chicago Jan. 

 21 and 22 and get a line on what is coming in. All the new ones, in- 

 cluding RUTH BAUR, will be there. While you are there, treat your- 

 self to a membership in the society. It will do you and it good.

NEWARK, N. J. 



. The Market. 



Growers in this vicinity are getting 

 their spring bulbous stock in shape now 

 and the outlook is good for a fine crop. 

 Paper Whites are the most plentiful of 

 any of the flowers at the present time 

 and bring from 75 cents to $1 or more 

 per dozen. Carnations are more plenti^ 

 ful thajx they were, but the market is 

 still understocked with them and prices 

 are still high. Eosea continue scarce 

 and high in price, growers getting $18 

 and $20 per hundred, so that the retail 

 price is almost prohibitive for many 

 people, except for the most important 

 occasions. Some of the local florists 

 are featuring potted ferns. 



Various Notes. 



At Penek's Flower Shop, the trade 

 last week was mostly funeral work.

 oratory. R. B. M.

 teen years foreman of Mr. Kohankie 's

The Diamond Alkali Co., a large man- 

 ufacturing firm in this city, has taken 

 away much of the help from the local 

 nurseries and at present is a serious 

 problem for anyone employing much 

 help. The establishmeutrruns night and 

 day with eight-hour shifts, paying good 

 wages and employing 2,000 men.
