For Thanksgiving Day 



we expect to have a large 



SUPPLY OF GOOD MUMS 



Our growers will be cutting Chrysanthemums in quantity 

 for that day. We will be very strong in such varieties as 

 Chadwick, Bonnaffon and Seidewitz. 



POMPONS 



This is another item we expect to have in quantity and 

 large selection of varieties. 



CARNATIONS 



will be in good supply and you can depend on us for some 

 very good stock. 



Thanksgiving will be a busy day this year. and you 

 should not neglect to place your order early. 



Boxwood 



We are now booking orders 

 for Boxwood for immediate 

 and later delivery. There 

 was a shortage last year 

 and the supply will not be 

 any larger this season. Make 

 sure of your requirements 

 and place your order now. 



The Boxwood we handle 

 is the best. We sell more 

 of it every year. This is 

 the best indication that we 

 have the right kind of stock. 



Lycopodium 



The supply of Lycopodium 

 is limited. It is cleaned and 

 put up in bunches. You will 

 be well satisfied with our 

 stock.

to New York. He was about 30 years 

 of age, and had been discharged from 

 the army about four months. 



J. H. Pepper. 



C. Westerbeek, formerly of Wester- 

 beek & Klyn and now representing the 

 General Bulb Co., of Vogelenzang, Hol- 

 land, reached New York November 4, on 

 the Nieuw Amsterdam. 



S. B. Wertheimer, who has had an 

 exceedingly busy summer with the af- 

 fairs of Wertheimer Bros., is on a three 

 weeks' recreation trip to North Caro- 

 lina, South Carolina and Florida. He 

 intends to return to his office about De- 

 cember 1. 



An advertisement of telegraph de- 

 livery by Max Schling, in the Times for 

 November 5, demonstrated its drawing 

 power by the comments by customers 

 who visited the store and the resulting 

 orders. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The week o})cnod badly. There was 

 little doing either on Monday or on 

 election day. Midweek was quiet, but 

 by Friday there was a change and on 

 Saturday business was almost brisk. 

 Frost has cut down the supply of out- 

 door flowers, wiping out dahlias and 

 cosmos and so chilling the hardy chrys- 

 anthemums that they are not likely to 

 be of much use. 



Clirysantliemums arc now at the 

 height of their season. Some fine stock 

 is offered. Well grown flowers of the 

 large .Japanese varieties continue to sell 

 well at good prices. Ordinary stock is 

 not in demand. So far pompons have 

 had few friends. 



Good roses have been short of the de- 

 mand. The growers do not cut many 

 in the middle of the chrysanthemum 

 season and it so happens that they are 

 not cutting enough. Still there are plen- 

 tv of other flowers to use instead. Car-

nations, for example, are ini])roving fast 

 and they are not selling at all well. 



The few really nice swe-.'t peas are 

 also dragging just now. Orchids are 

 scarce. By this is meant Cattleya 

 labiata. There are a few Percivaliana 

 and two kinds of cypripediums. Foli- 

 age is popular. The outlook for the 

 balance of the month is excellent. 



Cornelia and Bed Janet. 



There are some interesting new roses 

 at the establishment of Eoljert Scott 

 & Son, at Sharon Hill. Among this 

 season's debutantes is Cornelia — Cor- 

 nelia will be sent out next spring. It is 

 a cross between Ojjhelia and Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward. Cornelia has the free, sturdy 

 growth of Ophelia combined with the 

 blooming qualities of Ward. The flow- 

 ers are of good size. Their color con- 

 tains the color characteristics of both 



parents. Cornelia is a great producer. 

 Both the 1-year-old and the 2-year-old 

 jdants are coming right along. Cor- 

 nelia is the sort of rose to win the 

 grower's heart at sight. 



Red .Janet is a cross between Gloire 

 de Dijon and a red seedling. It is a 

 lovely rose, with life in its exquisite 

 deep pink coloring. Mr. Scott has not 

 yet decided whether Eed .Tanet will 

 have a coming-out jiarty. 



The New BaUroom. 



There is a new ballroom of great 

 magnificence at the Hotel Dupont in 

 Wilmington, Del. It is so grand that 

 connoisseurs say that New York and 

 Philadelphia have nothing to compare 

 with it. The ballroom was formally 

 opened on Friday evening, November 

 7, when Mrs. Francis Whitten gave a 

 dinner dance there.
