B. E. A J. T. COKELY, 201 North Seventh Avenue, SCRANTON, PA« 



The majority of flowers sold at $3 to 

 $6 per dozen, with poor ones lower. 

 Pompons, especially bronze and crim- 

 son ones, have sold well of late. 



Boses are coming in less freely and 

 there is no trouble in cleaning them 

 up at good prices. Short-stemmed stock 

 makes $6 to $10, according to color. The 

 best grades make as high as $25 and 

 some fancy pinks and reds $40. For 

 American Beauty there has been a good 

 call. Carnations have braced up to $8 

 and $10, Laddie bringing more. Vio- 

 lets at $2 and $3 are not abundant; 

 neither are lilies or callas. Paper 

 Whites are rather a slow sale. Stevia 

 has appeared, but will sell better a lit- 

 tle later. The warm fall has hastened 

 its blooming period. Sweet peas are 

 selling better; so is the comparatively 

 small quantity of miscellaneous flowers 

 arriving. 



There are still good supplies of cat- 

 tleyas and more cypripediums are com- 

 ing in than a week ago. Valley is scarce 

 and dear. Small lots of gardenias are 

 arriving. An abundance of good cycla- 

 mens, begonias and other flowering 

 plants are coming in, some poinsettias 

 being included. 



Gardeners' and Florists' Club. 



In spite of a cold, driving storm of 

 rain and sleet, the first of the season, 

 there was a good attendance at the 

 club meeting November 16, over sixty 

 members being present. The executive 

 committee reported in favor of holding 

 a banquet on or about February 1 and 

 after some discussion they were in- 

 structed to secure figures from various 

 hotels and caterers to present at the 

 December meeting. Communications 

 were read asking support for the Amer- 

 ican Red Cross and inviting club mem- 

 bers to view the great show of winter- 

 flowering begonias in the E. S. Webster 

 greenhouses, at Chestnut Hill." 



George T. Stewart, of Waltham, was 

 presented with a large and handsome 

 gold medal, awarded by the National 

 Association of Gardeners for meritori- 

 ous new plants, hybrid calceolarias, 

 shown in Boston last May. The pres- 

 entation was made by W. N. Craig, the 

 newly elected president of the associa- 

 tion. Exhibits of the evening included 

 fine plants of Golden Mistletoe and 

 Helen Frick chrysanthemums from Wal- 

 ter H. Golby, a collection of twenty- 

 three seedling chrysanthemums raised 

 from Mrs. Filkins and nine other seed- 

 lings from A. E. T. Rogers, Prides Cross- 

 ing, Mass., awarded honorable mention, 

 and a collection of pompon and anem- 

 one chrysanthemums and Bouvardia

 Nominations of oflBcers for 1921 were 



distinctive yet 

 economical — 



the two points we had 

 in mind when we made 

 and introduced these 

 Jardinieres — 



€Lwe knew, that if the 

 creation was to be a 

 success it must be at- 

 tractive, yet cost little. 



€^our judsrment has 

 proven correct, proven 

 so by the gre&t number
