Roses for Christmas 



Some of our growers are bringing in a big crop 

 of Killarney and Brilliant for Christmas. Good 

 stock and Roses that you can sell at a moderate 

 price. Killarney s are at their best at this time of 

 the season. 



All other varieties, such as Russell, Columbia, Hadley, 

 Richmond, Sunburst and Ophelia, we will have in quan- 

 tity large enough to take care of your order. 



Beauties 



The cut will not be so large as last year, but the qual- 

 ity the best we have ever handled. Mostly the long 

 Beauties— very few medium— none of the shorter grades. 

 Order your Beauties early.

The Market. 



The cut flower market has eased a 

 f trifle since .Thanksgiving week. There 

 > have been good days and there have 

 been day« that were quiet. The supply 

 is hardly equal to the demand. Chrysan- 

 themums are almost over. Bonuaffon, 

 of low grade, Chadwick and Nonin, of 

 •good grade, nearly make up the assort- 

 ■''menli. There will probably be a few for 

 another week, maybe even until Christ- 

 mas, but for all practical purposes this 

 week finishes them for the season. Car- 

 nations and roses increase slowly. Both 

 are getting into winter form. The mis- 

 cellaneous flowers, useful in giving va- 

 riety, are in fair supply. They all sell 

 well except stevia, which lags. Prices 

 have remained about the same as a week 

 ago, excepting in a few instances, where 

 advances have been made owing to 

 scarcity. 



Good judges of the market believe 

 that the supply will increase with the 

 approach of the Christmas holidays, that 

 it will not keep pace with the demand, 

 that prices will be about the same as 

 last year, possibly higher on a few 

 things. 



It is generally conceded that Beau- 

 ties, which have formed an important 

 part of the Christmas business, will not 

 be nearly so plentiful as usual, owing 

 to the high fall prices and to the cloudy 

 October. Hadley, Kichmond and red car- 

 nations wil be in small supply. There 

 will be some Russell and Premier. 



There is a great uncertainty regard- 

 ing orchids. The question is whether 

 they will be in time for Christmas.

Those who attended the December 

 meeting of the Florists ' Club knew that 

 the publicity committee were fighting 

 with their backs to the wall. They had 

 not the support of their own wing, the 

 retailers. The publicity committee, com-
