BEAUTIES 



Are of splendid quality, and you will find 

 here the best supply in this market. We 

 handle the cut of 100,000 plants and have 



no surplus. A good sign that our Beauties must give satisfaction. Mostly of the 



three top grades; not many shorts and mediums. 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS* in white, yellow and pink, we can famish 

 in quantity, although large orders should be placed in advance. The 

 early Mums this year are of excellent quality. $1.50 to $3.00 p.er dozen;. 



dAhliAs 



Many retailers have handled Dahlias this season for the first time, and, with a few excep- 

 tions, after a trial shipment, they become regular buyers. In offering you Dahlias, we claim 

 that ours are the best you will find anywhere. $2.00 to $4.00 per 100. Can we send you 

 a sample shipment? 



A steady improvement in Roses is noticeable from week to 

 week. Pink Killamey is of better color and longer stems. 

 White Killarney is more plentiful. Aaron Ward and Sunburst 

 we can supply in quantity. 



IRISH FIRE FLAME 



The supply of this novelty is slowly increasing. We handle 

 the entire cut of Robert Scott & Son, which gives us the 

 cut of 12,000 plants.

M ^ The Eastern Market. 



The first week in October has wit- 

 nessed a decided improvement iga. ||he 

 demand for cut flowers. The supply, 

 owing to this brisk demand, has seemed 

 actu^ly insufficient, although there has 

 been no frost. The exceptions to this 

 scarcity have been in dahlias and in 

 cattleyas. The supply of dahlias has 

 been so heavy that even the most en- 

 thusiastic reporter of the market could 

 not call it inadequate, but the sales of 

 dahlias have been larger than ever be- 

 fore in the history of the market. De- 

 spite lower prices, there have been more 

 cattleyas than could be used. Other 

 orchids have sold better than cattleyas, 

 although, of course, not nearly so many 

 of them are sold. Carnations have in a 

 small way been the strong flower on the 

 list, owing to small receipts and the 

 exit of the aster. Yellow chrysanthe- 

 mums, too, have been in brisk demand, 

 better so than white or pink. Chryso- 

 lora, Golden Glow and Creme are the 

 principal yellows, but there are' some 

 Comolita. The Pacific family. Glory of 

 Pacific and Pacific Supreme; Sport and 

 Polly Rose form the bulk of the whites 

 more or less shading to pink. To them 

 mav be added Unaka and a few others.
