The Market 



One does not always care to tell the 

 same story, but sometimes necessity com- 

 pels us to. September has not brought 

 much improvement in business and stock 

 is in abundance. Asters are fine but 

 the specials supply the demand; grades 

 below that are lost. 



Qub Meeting. 



President Langhans called the Flo- 

 rists' Club to order September 5 with a 

 very fair representation of members 

 present. An interesting talk on summer 

 flowers was given by John Zimmerman, 

 which he illustrated with a large variety 

 of cut blooms from the institution at 

 Dixmont. Mr. "Wolf, of Emsworth, also 

 showed plants of fancy-leaved caladium 

 and Nsegelia Geroltiana, which were ad- 

 mired by all. 



The president called on those who had 

 been to Washington to report what they 

 had seen and heard at the convention. 

 Bedding plants and bedding generally 

 was discussed at some length and many 

 comparisons drawn between this city 

 and those visited, none of which were 

 disparaging to this city. All spoke highly 

 of the departments which came under 

 Mr. Brown, where they found many 

 good things well done. Special mention 

 was made of the kind treatment they re- 

 ceived at the hands of the Washington 

 and Baltimore florists, and on motion 

 the secretary was instructed to write the 

 thanks of the club for the attention 

 shown our members. 



During the evening many members 

 present were at a loss to understand 

 why John Zimmerman seemed so inter- 

 ested in mentioning the ladies, and bring 

 Ihem into every discussion, but before 

 the meeting adjourned he admitted that 

 he had found the best little Scotch girl 

 in the world and that they had made the 

 trip to the convention their bridal tour. 

 Congratulations were then in order.

 son, Cincinnati; Martin Eeukauf, of

 tra and to see his friends.

 first and a boy.

 home vith hay fever. Hoo-Hoo. 



ABUNDANCE THe Plwunnnal Ylalder 



A carnation tbat stands alone for 

 bloomlnR, as a srlanee at tbe above 

 pboto will ibow. No otber sort can 

 compare with it. BloominK profusely 

 from fall until thrown out in (>uminer. 

 Odor, pure white, a good slie. well 

 built flower of tbe shape of Scott. 

 Stems in fall 14 to 16 inches, stretching 

 to 2, 2K and 8 feet in winter and 

 BpriDK, verv stiff without beinK rigid. 

 Is a fine keeper and shipper, flowers 

 sent to Cuba laf>t year kept in perfect 

 condition a week aft^r arrival Plant 

 has tbe alim.wiry growth of lIcGowan 

 in fall but looBes this character as 



winter and spring advance, as it makes a rapid, strong and vigorous growth. It makes a 

 large bunch of flberous roots, which accounts for Its wonderful recuperative power, and 

 makes it extrtmely easy to handle: it can be transplanted with perfect safety, plants stand- 

 ing up like soldiers in a couple of days after planting. It makes absolutely no grass at base 

 of plants for every shoot runs quickly up to flower. A thoroughly business Caruation. Is a 

 profuse propagator and a sure and easy rooter. Has never been subject to any disease. 

 There is nothing in the way of a Oamation easier to grow, but beware of overfeeding, as it 

 won't stand it: flowers will buri>t if fed hiRhly; 3 parts of well-rotred sod ur rich loam, with 

 1 part well-ntted manure is al it requires, no other dressing. This is a Carnation that 

 returns dollars for cents to the grower, for while he grows Abundance he will always get 

 an abundance. 



Orders taken now for cuttings, so send in your order early as they are filled in strict 

 rotation. 



Price for well-rooted Cutting's, $10.00 per 100; $75.00 per lOOO; 600 at
