The Market 



The market conditions are very much 

 the same as last reported. Carnations 

 are not coming in quite so heavily and 

 they have increased somewhat in value, 

 good stock selling out much better. 

 Boses are still rather scarce and Brides- 

 maid is the only variety that is equal 

 to the demand. Beauties, with the ex- 

 ception of very short-stemmed ones, are* 

 getting scarcer. Violets are selling bet- 

 ter. Bulbous stock is the same as last 

 report, also green goods. 



The Carnation Show. 



Our carnation show held March 11 

 proved to be a magnificent exhibition. 

 The number of unnamed seedlings was 

 remarkable. Tbe general excellence of 

 all varieties was noteworthy and none 

 of the blooms were any the worse when 

 the show was over. During the after- 

 noon there was a continual crush of peo- 

 ple viewing the show and thousands of 

 iat o r oo t c d and astonish e d caroation lor^" 

 ers visited the club room. 



Our own "Dick" Witterstaetter made 

 the show of his life, sta^g some thirty 

 vases of blooms, the majority of the va- 

 rieties being seedlings which as yeli are 

 nameless. Of his entire exhibit but two 

 varieties, Lady^ Bountiful and Enchant- 

 ress, were the product of other hybridiz- 

 ers. He staged Aristocrat, After Glow, 

 and J. A. Valentine, all of which have 

 been shown recently at other places and 



need no commendation from me. Much 

 could be written of the unnamed seed- 

 lings, but space forbids. The follow- 

 ing prizes fell to Mr. Witterstaetter: 

 First on light pink, with Enchant- 

 ress; dark pink, with Aristocrat; on 

 seedlings, with Aristocrat; on white, with 

 Bountiful, and on best general display 

 second on red with Cardinal; on seed- 

 lings, with After Glow, and third on 

 seedlings, with Valentine. 



The Chicago Carnation Co. was on 

 hand with a large number of blooms, 

 staging some twenty-five vases. Their 

 stock was fine but Fiancee did not ar- 

 rive in the best of condition. Other 

 sorts were Flamingo, White Lawson, En- 

 chantress, Prosperity, Mrs. Patten and 

 Lady Bountiful. There were also nu- 

 merous seedlings of fine quality. They 

 took the following premiums: Second, 

 on dark pink, with Lawson ; on variegat- 

 ed with Patten; on 100 mixed commer- 

 cial varieties and third on white with 

 Lady Bountiful. ' 



While the E. G. Hill Co. did not make 

 such a large exhibit, they were "there 

 with the goods." They captured first 

 on variegated, with Mrs. Patten, and on 

 vase of commercial varieties, with a 

 beautiful collection, also third on light 

 pink, with Enchantress. They also 

 staged a vase of their new rose, Bich- 

 mond. They were magnificent blooms. 



H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md., 

 staged My Maryland and a variegated va- 

 riety, Jessica, which was first-class. My 

 Maryland was in great form and many 

 of the boys who saw it said it was the 

 best white carnation in the business to- 

 day. Some of the flowers showed signs 

 of their long journey. 



■ D« Honaker, of__I<Bxingtos, - K y ., 



staged Lawson, Adonis and Enchantrew 

 in fine form. He was awarded second 

 on E'nchatitress and third on Lawson. 



J. Wl Bodgera staged several vases of 

 nicely grown stock and received third for 

 his vase of commercial varieties. Ed. 

 Bnch, of BIchmond, staged a vase of 

 finely grovra Adoaia, for which he was 

 awarded a third prenuom. W. E. Hall, 

 of Clyde, O., sent a vase of hi« geedling^ 

 a croK between Prosperity and Maceo. It 

 1 is a brick red color, very soft and pleas-
