JAPAN 

 GROWN 



SELECTED STOCK "SPECIAL" LATE DUG BULBS 



For five years past we have received- direct from our g-rower in Japan a Special Stock of Japan Lilium Longifloriim, 

 which has given, in every instance, more than usual satisfaction. This •• SPECIAL STOCK " flowers simultaneously, 

 and grows an even height of about 3 feet, with abundant foliage. It can be flowered by Easter, even when planted late 

 in November. The flowers are of good substance, and more prolific than ordinary stocks of Lilium Longiflorum. We 

 have a limited supply of this special stock of Lilium L/ongiflorum and parties wishing any quantity should order promptly. 



Lincoln, III., March 7, 1908. 

 Dear Sma:— Your late delivered Longlflorums 

 (Special Stock) have proved healthier and earlier 

 than any other stock we had. (Signed) 



W. H. GuLLKTT & Sons. 

 These bulbs were received November, 1902, and 

 flowered before others received September. 



Lincoln, III., Feb. 13, 1904. 

 Gkntlkmkn:— Your late dell vered "Special Stock " 

 Longlflorams are again surpafislng any other stock 

 we got, both In forwardness and healthiness. 



(Signed) W. H. Gdllktt & Sons 



These bulbs were received November, 1903, and 

 flowered In time for Easter, although very early. 



WlLLIAMSVILLB, N. Y., Fbbbuaby 26, 1903. 

 Sirs:— The Longiflorum Lilies (Special Stock) that 

 you sent me are extra flne, and for health and unl- 

 formness excel anything I have seen in this section 

 ( Buffalo) this season. (Signed) 



C. B. Shisleb.

The Market 



Trade has been fairly brisk the past 

 week. Mums are holding sway and mak- 

 ing inroads on sales of other stock. Theo. 

 Boettcher is sending in some fine Phila- 

 delphia and Pennsylvania, C. Johansen 

 has some large yellow and white Eaton. 

 H. Schwebke is also cutting some fine 

 Golden Wedding and Eaton. Nic Zwei- 

 fel has a fine crop of Enchantress com- 

 ing in. This variety seems to have been 

 heavily planted by most of the local 

 growers this season and the quality is 

 exceptionally fine. Red carnations ap- 

 pear to be scarce. Violets are coming in 

 more freely and of improved quality. 

 There are plenty of valley and sweet 

 peas to meet requirements. The supply 

 of roses is about equal to demand, but 

 demand is rather unsteady. Mum plants 

 appear to be selling better than last 

 season. 



Various Notes. 

 The chrysanthemum show at Mitchell 

 park drew a very large crowd the past 

 week. Flowers and plants were all 

 staged in the main conservatory and in 

 such shape as to show oflF a great array 

 of colors, from a dark red to the purest 

 white. Aug. Gerlach^ the gardener in 

 charge, is now keeping the men busy 

 propagating spring stock, as most of 

 the plants used in the park are supplied 

 from these greenhouses. 

 . The Florists' Club had a well at- 

 tended meeting Nofvember 1. Nic Zwei- 

 fefl read a paper on "Carnation Cul- 

 ture" and an interesting discussion fol- 

 lowed. 



Fred Schmeling has purchased a fine 

 Beagle hound and engaged a blind at 

 Puckaway lake and is awaiting the flight 

 of ducks from the north. 



The Florists' Club is awaiting the 

 opening of the new bowling alley and 

 expects to start a series of games for 

 the winter between growers, wholesalers 

 and retailers, Fred Schmeling rolled 

 three games over 200 last week and will 

 bowl with one of the league clubs in 

 Wauwatosa. He will probably join the 

 G. A. R team. 



We expect to have a delegation of 

 about fifteen to the Chicago mum show, 



Fred Schmeling will rc£^ a paper ot 

 Christmas plants at the next regular 

 club meeting. Incog. 



BUFFALO. 



Very beautiful weather has mostly 

 prevailed of late and any dullness of 

 business could not be excused on that 

 score. Mums have of course been the 

 flower, both to decorate the shop win- 

 dow as well as to fill an order. We see 

 no abatement of their popularity and 

 only notice that quality is now sought 

 for more than mere size, which a few 

 years ago was the principal attraction. 

 However interesting abnormally large 

 blooms may be at an exhibition for the 

 buying public, the limit in size has been 

 reached. And so it has not only been 

 in the chrysanthemum, but also in the 

 rose and carnation. A tea rose larger 

 than a first-class Bridesmaid would be 

 coarse, and a carnation larger than En- 

 chantress is not wanted. There are 

 many qualities which can be added to 

 the best of our leading flowers besides 

 size. 



Boses are improving in quantity and 

 carnations are coming in freely, many 

 not high in quality, Violets are rather 

 plentiful and cheap, A touch of win- 

 ter will stiffen them up in price. 



The first large wedding of the fall 

 occurred last week. Large quantities 

 of mums, pink roses and American 

 Beauties were used. Business all around 

 has been quite fair, 



W, J, Palmer & Son are making 

 great alterations and improvements in 

 their lower store (the old stand), Will- 

 iam is bound to keep in the very front 

 of the procession. 



We are all looking forward to the 

 H, A, Meldrum Co. 's show which be- 

 gins Wednesday the 9th, Mr, Keitsch, 

 the active manager, reports that the 

 entries received assure its success and 

 those received from many out-of-town 

 growers were the most gratifying part 

 of it. We anticipate seeing a fine dis- 

 play and meeting many old friends. This 

 is indeed a great week and many of 

 the big lights must wish they had the 

 power of the high-class Hindoo fakir 

 and could be in Boston, St, Louis, Chi- 

 cago and several other places all at the 

 same time. We should like mucn to see 

 St. Louis and hope for its unqualified 

 success, but health, as well as other rea- 

 sons, forbids. W. S. 



NORTHFIELD, MiNN. — C. P. Nichols 



has completed a new greenhouse on the 

 site of the old one. It has 3,200 feet 

 of glass. The walls are of hollow con- 

 crete blocks plastered with cement into 

 practically one solid piece. He says the 

 house seems practically air tight save 

 for the ventilators.
