IT'S THE QUALITY 

 OF OUR 



BEAUTIES 



We want to talk about. The flowers 

 are unusually good. Splendid buds of 

 a good color. We have them in all 

 lengths and at prices from $1.00 to 

 $3.00 per dozen. In lots of 50 or more, 

 they will be billed to you at the 100 

 rate. 



DAHLIAS 



The most popular autumn flowers. New varieties have been 

 added to our list, offering you the largest selection of the best 

 kind for cut flower purposes. 



Weather conditions have been favorable for the growing of 

 Dahlias, and from the present indications we will have the best 

 flowers we have ever had in quality, quantity and size of flowers. 



Let us send you a sample shipment for your inspection, so 

 you can see what we offer you in Dahlias.

The Market. 



The week ending with the first day 

 of September leaves the market in bet- 

 ter shape than at any time during the 

 summer. Supply and demand are more 

 evenly balanced than heretofore. There 

 is probably an increase of a fraction, 

 as one of the wholesalers put it, in the 

 volume of business, with a smaller 

 supply^ of high grade flowers. The 

 surprisingly cool, wet weather has cut 

 down production so that high grade 

 stock is far less abundant. Valley has 

 been short of the demand. Good roses 

 have been quite scarce and asters that 

 are perfect have been eagerly sought. 

 There are lots of asters, but many 

 of them deserve hard names and find 

 correspondingly poor support, at a 

 nickel a bunch or thereabouts. Gla-

 best sorts, Princess Juliana, Jack Rose and the like.

dioli from farther north and down east 

 are selling fairly well, while Easter 

 lilies are quite good stock and no lon- 

 ger receive slights. Dahlias are be- 

 ginning to sell, rather earlier than 

 usual, a sure sign that fall is near. 

 Greens are still overabundant. 



A Late Easter. 



The calendar comprising the leading 

 floral dates for the coming season 

 shows that Easter will be extremely 

 late and that it is preceded by an un- 

 usually long social season. Society's 

 season is reckoned from Thanksgiving
