HIGH DAHLIAS GIWDE 



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* 



Quality 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 arlicle 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.

when in the adjoining room at 162 

 North Wabash avenue. The plan is to 

 work up the shipping trade, th«r-)|ipal 

 business having been catered to ex- 

 clusively heretofore. 



Charles Erne reports that his firm 

 received their first mums this season 

 September 5 and that the first dahlia 

 shipments came in the same day. The 

 latter were more numerous than the 

 mums, which are not yet in general 

 supply. 



Miss Paradise is again at the office 

 of A. L. Vaughan & Co., after a week 's 

 travel through Indiana, where she 

 visited with friends. Ernest Farley, 

 who is a member of the shipping force, 

 has decided to remain although he had 

 planned to make an eastern trip. 



John Kruchten nevfer tires of taking 

 his friends out for a spin in his car 

 and September 6 he had Mr, Goebel 

 and Miss Schafer as his guests. After 

 a drive around the boulevards they 

 took in the Cook County Florists' As- 

 sociation picnic, where there were any 

 number of other machines on hand. 

 The first cut of gardenias at Deerfield 



was reported by Mr. Kruchten Septem- 

 ber 8. 



Harold Sylvin, who recently opened 

 a retail flower shop at North Clark 

 street and Aldine avenue, has closed his 

 place and is selling his fixtures. 



Visitors: Charles Kinyon and Willis 

 Kinyon, brothers, fast friends, but busi- 

 ness rivals at South Bend, Ind.; Alfred 

 W, York, of the Lakeside Floral Co., 

 Houghton, Mich.; M. Eeukauf, with 

 H. Bayersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia; 

 Mrs. Wm. Dittman, New Castle, Ind., 

 who gavo the surprising information 

 that Mr. Dittman plans to sell his 

 greenhouses and retire. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Eastern Market. 



Extremely warm weather has inter- 

 fered with the cut flower business. The 

 dahlia, the leading flower for Septem- 

 ber, is not at its best when the ther- 

 mometer soars around 90 degrees. Such 

 heat interferes with the keeping quali- 

 ties of all the flowers. Still the dahlias 



are fine. They have been sellings quite 

 as well as could be expected. Aaters 

 have fallen off a trifle in quality aa the 

 height of the crop of Semple'a passes. 

 The New \ork asters have not arrived. 

 Beauties are plentiful. The open flow- 

 ers were in demand last week because 

 of the New Haven tragedy, while many . 

 of the better blooms were shipped out; 

 of town. All roses are in heavy sup 

 ply. The only drawback is that most 

 of them are rather short in stem. 

 White sells best. Valley has been in 

 fair demand. Asparagus is a little more 

 sought, a good sign. Cattleyas continue 

 scarce. The new crop carnations are 

 improving slowly. Indications point to 

 a better market soon. 



The Wanamaker Dahlia Show. 



Through an arrangement made be- 

 tween the firm of John Wanamaker, of 

 this city, and the Peacock Dahlia Farm, 

 of Williamstown Junction, N. J., the 

 public was treated to a fine display of 

 dahlias in the Wanamaker store this 

 week. There were somewhere in the 

 neighborhood of 10,000 dahlia blooms
