The Market. 



With Thanksgiving over, and with 

 chrysanthemums finishing their season, 

 stock is scarce. The chrysanthemums 

 were exceptionally good this fall and 

 were in heavy demand. With their de- 

 cline, the market has suffered. 



Eoses remain scarce. The majority 

 of stock ranges from $6 to $25, although 

 some shorts are available at $4 and $5. 



Carnations are in good favor. With 

 an accelerated demand, they have risen 

 in price to $6 per hundred. Laddie is 

 bringing $8. Some carnations of poorer 

 quality are selling at $4 and $5 per hun- 

 dred. 



A few pompon mums and some large 

 late varieties are appearing, but the 

 mum season is practically over. 



Sweet peas have not been arriving in 

 large supply. A great deal of bad 

 weather has retarded the growth in this 

 locality. A few lilies are seen. Calen- 

 dulas are brightening the shop windows. 



Funeral work has taken a great many 

 flowers. Decorations for parties and 

 weddings have also been numerous this 

 fall. 



Potted plants have been in demand 

 and are now beginning to come to the 

 front with Christmas so near. Mum 

 plants are gone, but cherries, begonias, 

 primroses and ferns arc available. Cyc- 

 lamens are not yet ready, as the blooms 

 are meager. It is a little early to try 

 to forecast Christmas stock, as so much 

 depends upon the weather, but all feel 

 confident there will be no oversupply, 

 if there is enough to meet the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Temperley's have a splendid lot of 

 plants for the Christmas trade. These 

 include Jerusalem cherries, primroses, 

 cyclamens, begonias and ferns. 



Baur & Steinkamp's new pink chrys- 

 anthemum scored 92 points in Chicago 

 last week, when scored by the Chrys- 

 anthemum Society's committee. This 

 mum is in its third year and will be 

 disseminated next spring. A. F. J. Baur

An Elastic Cement That Expands 

 and Contracts With the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tight with Asbestfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



$1.25 per gallon. Why pay more? 

 Tou can't get anything better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 



With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful application of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply Asbeitfalt 

 with our Liauid Putty Machine, srioa 

 S2.00. With every barrel purchMa of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.

Arriving here the day before Thanks- 

 giving, the writer was able to see some 

 busy florists. Otto Lang, who has ac- 

 quired the Green Floral Co., in addition 

 to his own store and range, did a land- 

 oflSce business, the whole staff being 

 kept on the run. 



Henry F. Greve has an elegant store 

 and is not worrying about bad business.

 and cleaned up well. H. E. B.
