JUST FOUR ITEMS WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WEEK 



BEAUTIES 



Our growers expect to cut Beauties in larger quantity now, and we are in a position to give 

 you the best in price and quality. Quality is alw^ays the first consideration when filling your orders, 

 and you have the satisfaction that they are billed to you at the lov^est market price. It veould be 

 impossible to market the enormous quantity we handle unless we offered our customers advantages 

 not to be found elsewhere. 



SPENCER PEAS SNAPDRAGON 



Considering the size and the quality 

 of the flowers, they are not more ex- 

 pensive than the ordinary Peas. Offer- 

 ing your customers flowers of extra 

 good quality will alw^ays help to in- 

 crease your business. In colors, we 

 have several shades of Pink, White 

 and Lavender. Place your next order for 

 Peas with us— the quality of the flow- 

 ers will come up to your expectations. 



$1.50 per Dozen 



For any purpose. Snapdragon will 

 make a splendid showing— for the ta- 

 ble, for decorative purposes and mauy

 ities and gives satisfaction to your 

 customers. You can always depend 

 on us to supply you. Several shades 

 of Pink, also in Yellow and White.'

orchid shades, pink and yellow. They 

 are most unusual and fascinating, and 

 if they were just a little more prolific 

 in blooming they would be valuable as 

 well as unique. E. C. A. 



PHII*ADEU»HIA. 



The Market. 



The first week of Lent leaves us 

 with mixed feelings: Business was good 

 when we were fearful and when we 

 became hopeful it fell off. This was 

 mainly due to the supply, which in- 

 creased rapidly under the influence of 

 the hot sunshine. We have rarely been 

 favored with four days of such grow- 

 ing weather in February. Daffodils 

 have been in such heavy supply that 

 the market has been unable to take 

 them all readily. Beauties have fallen 

 in price quite unexpectedly; they can 

 now be had at half the prices of last 

 week. Sweet peas have arrived in such 

 numbers that they have changed over 

 from the scarce to the plentiful side, 

 with, of course, a drop in the prices. 

 These were the prominent features of 

 a market that is generally described 

 as fair for the season. 



Riverton. 



There are so many greenhouses 

 stretching to the north, to the east and 

 to the south of the great packing shed 

 of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., at Riverton, 

 N. J., that the most satisfactory way to 

 describe their contents is to select a 

 few of the most important plants for 

 description at one time. You walk 

 through the houses, gather certain im-

pressions, then you sift them. The sys- 

 tem, neatness and cleanliness every- 

 where apparent stand foremost. Per- 

 haps next come the aquatics, for which 

 the house has done such valiant pioneer 

 work. Aquatics will be their exhibit 

 at San Francisco this year. The next 



impression left on the mind of the visi- 

 tor is the care that is taken to keep 

 stock in popular sizes' of the great num- 

 bers of plants. (Of course, these are 

 mainly stove plants in the houses to- 

 day, but the same idea applies to the 

 cool plants and to those belonging to
