BEAITIES for NEW YEAR'S 



and during the Month. of January 



There are still plenty of Beauties in sight with our growers. Our supply is 

 more uniform and reliable than you will find elsewhere. When you get Beauties 

 from us, you are buying the best grown in this section. Where there is an ample 

 supply, and the quality always uniformly good, your interests are served best.

The Market.. 



There is a spirit of unrest that pre- 

 vails in the cut flower market in sym- 

 pathy with the times. Advance orders 

 are fewer than is usual before Christ- 

 mas; buyers are holding off until the 

 last moment, confident that the stock 

 can be obtained when needed. They 

 urge the democracy, the conflagration 

 and other potent reasons for lower 

 prices. Prices, by this is meant asking 

 prices, are lower than usual at this 

 season. The indications point to a 

 large supply of roses, the m«8t impor- 

 tant flowers at Christmas, and probably 

 to a large supply ^ carnations and 

 violets, although they are less certain. 

 All other flowers, with the exception 

 of snapdragon, will be in fair supply. 



Business for the week preceding 

 Christmas was fair, with prices low. 

 Christmas greens have been unusually 

 good and have sold remarkably well in 

 the wholesale market, boxwood sprays 

 and holly especially so. 



A Plnnge in Bulbs. 



The street is particularly interested 

 in a deal lately clofed between Clar- 

 ence Alwine, of Araan, and the Phila- 

 delphia office of th^ Holland bulb firm 

 of Van Waveren & Kruijfl, whereby the 

 fanaer has acqnired all the bulbs re- 

 aaining in the hands of the lattw firm 



BERGER BROS. 



HOLIDAY FLOWERS 



We believe that you can safely 

 entrust us with any order for 

 cut flowers during: the coming 

 week. We are confident that 

 we can fill your order on time 

 with stock of g:ood quality at 

 very moderate prices.

Mention Th» B«t1»w when yoa wrtf . 



at the close of the season. This 

 amounts in round figures to 250,000 

 bulbs, mostly La Beine, say 100,000, and 

 Darwin tulips. It is understood that 

 Mr. Alwine intends forcing all these 

 bulbs for the cut fiow^r market. Part 

 are expected to go to Berger Bros., the 



local commission men, and part to an- 

 other city, which is understood to be 

 Pittsburgh. This is the largest single 

 transaction in bulbs, it is believed, 

 since Alfred M. Campbell laid in a 

 quarter of a million Paper Whites at 

 ColUngdale.
