The Market. 



When a market has to send out S. O. 

 S. calls for stock during a chrysanthe- 

 mum season, it is safe to say that there 

 is something doing, and the growers 

 ought to take the hint. Such was the 

 case last week — especially the week-end. 

 The principal shortage existed in white 

 wedding roses and Ophelia. 



Last month there existed a condition 

 in the market which ought to be noted 

 as remarkable. In the line of wedding 

 flowers the trade has been called on to 

 furnish some costly bouquets to shop 

 laborers. In fact, some are reported to 

 be at such prices that they would be 

 unthinkable, even for the wealthy. It 

 is difficult to imagine orchids and lily 

 of the valley at today's prices for a 

 workingman 's wedding, yet such is the 

 ease. 



The existing shortage is extended to 

 all lines of cut flowers. Chrysanthe- 

 mums, pompons, carnations, violets and 

 narcissi are all selling clean. Carna- 

 tions have advanced to $6, narcissi have 

 lowered to $5 per hundred. In regard 

 to narcissi the retailers agree that it is 

 difficult to sell them above the $1.50 

 per dozen mark. 



Advertisiiig. 



Much has been said and thought of 

 our advertising, of what it has done, 

 what it will do and what it might do. 

 In the minds of those who have spent 

 any amount of their hard-earned cash, 

 the word "might" does not exist, for 

 they know what advertising WILL do, 

 if carried on as started. Our local chry- 

 santhemum show two weeks ago im- 

 pressed chrysanthemums on the minds 

 of at least half of the city's population 

 and those who saw it did not only think 

 chrysanthemums, but talk them. This 

 proved a wealth of advertising for little 

 cost to the trade. Wallace Eiss rounded 

 out the opinion of men who know that 

 advertising pays when he said: "Be- 

 lieve me, boys, if we go into this thing 

 right, we aren't going to be able to 

 supply the demand for flowers, and that 

 is what we want — a trade that wants 

 more than we can furnish. " F. P. A.

(Polystichaiii coriaccnm) 



Last season we sold stock of this sterling novelty to more than 300 

 florists in the United States. We did not receive a single complaint, 

 but, instead, many letters of commendation. 



It is one of the most beautiful ferns in cultivation and undoubtedly 

 the most valuable one for cutting. If you do any floral work at all 

 you should certainly grow this fern. It will prove economical and 

 add class to your design work. Also a good subject for pots, tubs 

 and window boxes. A few thousand strong divisions now ready at 

 same old price: $10.00 par 100; 25, poatpaid, for $3.00.
