— — — ^— — — The Canna Display of Conard & Jones Co., West Orove, Pa., at the Minneapolis Convention i 



TME judges at MINNEAPOLIS 



were not permitted, under the rules, to make awards to ANY of the exhibits in the garden, although it was the FEATURE 

 of the Convention, but the judges 



COULD NOT REFRAIN 

 from reporting to the Society of American Florists that one of the Conard & Jones Co. exhibits was 



THE BEST BED OF CANNAS 

 on the grounds, and that our collection constitutes 



A SPLENDID SET OF NOVELTIES 

 Here's what the judges said verbatim: "A very fine and interesting display of standard varieties of Cannas, including 

 Meteor, a startling red, in the opinion of our judges the best Canna shown on the grounds; also Panama, a"giant salmon; 

 Blanche Wintzer, pure white; Olympia, rosy crimson, and Beacon, scarlet; these, with many other sorts, forming a splen- 

 did set of novelties."

THE CONARD & JONES COMPANY 



WEST GROVE, PA. 



CINCINNATI. 



Tbe Gateway to the South. 



The condition of the market is about 

 the same as at last writing. There is a 

 supply that is more than ample for re- 

 quirements. The average quality of the 

 stock is improving. Asters are in heavy 

 supply. The large late ones are arriving 

 in regular shipments and the demand 

 for the best has been pretty good. 

 Gladioli continue to come into the 

 wholesale houses in about the same 

 quantity as during the last several 

 weeks. Boses are in excellent supply. 

 The local growers are beginning to cut 

 dahlias. The supply of Easter lilies is 

 easily equal to requirements. A little 

 vfdley is offered. 



Various Notes. 

 Ed. Fries' carnations look better this 

 season than they have at this time in 

 any previous year. 



P. J. dinger reports this year's Au- 

 gust business as twice that of last 

 August. The cause was a larger cut of 

 Beauties during the entire month.
