HIGH DAHLIAS GRADE 



Every Retailer that handled our Dahlias last year we know will be a customer for them this season. 

 Our growers have increased their acreage, the plants have never looked more promising, and we antici- 

 pate an enormous cut. We emphasize — HIGH GRADE* 



Qaality in Dahlias with us is the all-important feature. You can handle Dahlias to advantage and 

 if you will buy ours you can handle them at a good profit. 



Nothing is so convincing as the goods themselves. We know that we have a superior article and 

 we do not hesitate to talk about it. Any statement we make is backed up by facts and the goods 

 themselves. 



Last year during the Dahlia season our sales averaged 



250,000 DAHLIAS A WEEK 



That record speaks for itself. 



Prices range from $1.50 to $4.00 per 100, according to varieties. We can furnish you a splendid 

 assortment at $2.00 per 100.

Miss J. E. Murray reports that busi- 

 ness was heavy last week, with plenty 

 of funeral work. She also says that 

 business was fully as good as expected 

 during the entire summer. 



The W. L, Rock Flower Oo. had a 

 good run on out-of-town funeral work 

 last week. The firm is cutting some 

 extra good roses for this time of year. 



Nelson Jarrett has built a five-room 

 bungalow for his son, Richard, on his 

 property at Fifty-sixth street and 

 Troost avenue. 



Henry Kusik & Co. are receiving 

 some extra fine Beauties and their 

 asters are greatly improved. The sup- 

 ply department has been exceedingly 

 busy for the last few weeks.

The Eastern Market. 



Summer is over. Fall has come, with 

 a steadily increasing supply of flowers. 

 Asters, dahlias and roses are abundant 

 and of good quality. The demand is fit- 

 ful; at times it is brisk, but generally 

 it is dull. The late asters are as fine 

 now as could be wished. They combine 

 excellent quality with good range of 

 color. Dahlias are coming in freely 

 from all the growers. There is much 

 high grade stock for so early in the 

 season. Roses are in better shape than 

 for ten weeks. The local Beauties once 

 more rival the eastern. Mrs. Taft, Ra- 

 diance and Maryland, mostly from new 

 crop, are good. At times white roses 

 are scarce. Richmond sells poorly. 

 Gladioli are more plentiful than they 

 were a month ago. Some of them are 

 fine. There is a good supply of Easter 

 lilies, plenty of valley and a few nice 

 pink and white carnations, new crop. 

 The first yellow and white chrysanthe- 

 mums have come. Outdoor summer 



flowers are less plentiful than they were. 

 Shipping orders are at times quite 

 heavy. A certain quantity of good 

 stock brings satisfactory prices. Much 

 stock is sold cheaply and much stock, 

 usually of the poorest grade, remains 

 unsold. 



A Ninety-day Season. 



September is the month when the cut 

 flower season begins, the time whei 

 plans for bringing crops into bloom are 

 made. The social season, the time o' 

 greatest activity in the market, begins 

 with Thanksgiving and ends with Lent. 

 The coming season will be of gooti 

 length, commencing November 27 and 

 ending February 25, 1914, ninety days. 

 Thanksgiving day, Christmas day and 

 New Year's day will all fall on Thur? 

 d&y. St. Valentine's day, February 14, 

 falls on Saturday. Easter Sunday come- 

 April 12, the greatest floral day of the 

 whole season. Mothers' day comes May 

 10. Decoration day, May 30, comes on 

 Saturday.
