MILWAUKEE. 



If every daily paper were to feature 

 McKinley day as did the Sunday Sen- 

 tinel it would not take very long to 

 make it an occasion of prime impor- 

 tance to the florists' trade. The Sentinel 

 devoted the front page of its colored 

 supplement January 29 to a portrait of 

 Pjesident McKinley surrounded by a 

 bunch of well executed carnations with 

 the inscription beneath, * ' Wm. Mc- 

 Kinley, whose favorite flower is worn 

 today by a grateful and loving peopls. ' ' 

 The Sentinel is the leading paper in 

 Milwaukee and the advertisement was of 

 great value to the trade, although the 

 weathsr was too cold to permit of the 

 wearing of carnations upon the street. 



BRIDGEWATER, CONN. 



All the wholesale growers and retail 

 dealers report a very good business dur- 

 ing the holidays, but trade has been a 

 little slow through January in spite of 

 considerable funeral work, 



G. 0. Bouton & Son are comparatively 

 recent additions to the craft here, as 

 they started in business only three years 

 ago. They began with a greenhouse for 

 their own amusement, but the neighbors 

 came to them for plants and at the end 

 of the year they found that they had 

 made money, and built another green- 

 house next season, growing about 500 

 carnations and a quantity of bedding 

 stock. They also did quite a business 

 with tomato and other vegetable plants. 

 Last year thev built a small house for 

 chrysanthemums and expect to add more 

 glass shortly.

FIANCEE CUTTINGS. 



To THE Trade: — 



We beg to inform all florists who have 

 orders placed for Carnation Fiancee 

 we have been somewhat disappointed in 

 its refusing to produce enough cuttings 

 for January deliveries owing to its su- 

 perb habit of producing long flowering 

 stems only. 



These stems have now been pinched 

 back from 30,000 plants and there is 

 now an abundance of excellent cuttings 

 coming along. 



We are putting in the sand large 

 batches every week and expect by the 

 latter end of March that all orders now 

 on our books will have been filled. There 

 is an average of 20 cuttings to the 

 plant now in sight making a total of 

 600,000 available cuttings for Spring 

 deliveries. 



Fiancee has no disease of any 

 kind; it makes fine strong plants by 

 Fall, even from May struck cuttings, in 

 fact it is the strongest grower of any 

 carnation. 



We further wish to state that we in- 

 tend everyone shall be satisfied with the 

 quality of cuttings received; would rath- 

 er be the loser ourselves than otherwise. 



Those who visited our greenhouees aft- 

 er the Convention can vouch for the re- 

 liability of this statement in the whole 

 and especially for quality and quantity 

 of cuttings obtainable. 



We ask everyone to be patient and in 

 the end they will have no kick coming 

 to anyone. Chicago Carnation Co.
