1 2^-iiich pots... $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000

 PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



THE ABOVE PRICES ARE FOR THE TRADE ONLY. 



PITTSBXJBGH. 



The Market. 



The unsatisfactory weather we have 

 had for the last week ia probably re- 

 sponsible for part of the slump in busi- 

 ness and is certainly showing its effects 

 on some of the roses, especially Kil- 

 larney. Chrysanthemums are still with 

 us, but are not much in demand. Vio- 

 lets, which were so scarce for several 

 weeks, are now a drug on the market. 

 No one seems to want them. Beauties 

 will not bring fancy prices and carna- 

 tions have been a glut. There are 

 quantities of Paper Whites, and they 

 only move at low prices. The whole 

 market is unsatisfactory. 



The wholesale men are busy shipping 

 boxwood and the various Christmas 

 supplies. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday eve- 

 ning, December 1. John S. Gillespie, 

 chief engineer of the road department 

 of Allegheny county, gave a talk on 

 good roads, which was most instructive. 



S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadel- 

 phia, sent a handsome exhibit of roses, 

 including Mock, d'Arenberg and Bul- 

 garie, and a large bunch of the new 

 carnation^ Mrs. C. Edward Akehurst, 

 all of which were favorably commented 

 upon. There were a few local exhibi- 

 tors. 



Various Notes. 



There has been considerable sickness 

 among the florists lately. Geo. Mar- 

 shall and John Sisley, of the McCallum 

 Co., are just back at work. 



Wm. Calligan, of the Pittsburgh C-.it 

 Flower Co., has not answered the tele- 

 phone for a day or two. He has been 

 nursing a carbuncle on the back of his 

 neck. 



Geo. Smith and John Hellstern, of 

 "Wheeling, W. Va., were recent visitors. 



The John Bader Co. is pushing the 

 plant business hard. The company has 

 a fine lot of palms, ferns, begonias, 

 poinsettias, red berries, cherries and 

 peppers — in fact, the best looking lot 

 of stock they ever offered. 



P. S. Randolph & Sons are also in 

 the market with the usual collection of 

 Christmas plants. This end of the 

 business increases each year, as Pitts- 

 burgh is getting to be more of a plant 

 city. Clarke. 



This Ought to Be OF INTEREST to YOU 



that local g^ro'wers have placed the largest individual orders for my 

 new Carnation *'AU[CE,** offered to the trade this season. Some have 

 doubled and trebled their orders on successive visits. 



The color is an exquisite shade of clear, soft pink, midway between En- 

 chantress and Gloriosa. Habit of plant, ideal, strong, very early and a contin- 

 uous and without doubt the most productive commercial variety I have offered 

 to date. 



Prices— Per 100, $12.00; per 1000, $100.00; per 2500, $237.50; 

 per 5000, $450.00; per 10,000, $800.00. 



If you have not seen it, send for descriptive circular and get your order in now. 



Over 800,000 sold.
