TVIN QTIES. 



The Market 



The market last week was deluged with 

 chrysanthemums, and the demand was 

 not any too brisk. As they are coming 

 in in such large numbers, prices are not 

 as good as what we expected to get. 

 Eoses are off crop with some of the lead- 

 ing growers, although the demand has 

 not been very heavy. Trade seems to' 

 run almost entirely to chrysanthemums. 

 Carnations are much better. Enchan- 

 tress is the best variety on the market, 

 although only being cut in small num- 

 bers. Violets are scarce; some of the 

 growers who had excellent success with 

 them last year are cutting but few. In 

 consequence, eastern violets are being 

 used more extensively than heretofore. 

 Chrysanthemum plants do not seem to 

 sell. 



Minneapolis. 



Saturday maroon and yellow chrysan- 

 themums sold well on account of the 

 football game between Minnesota and 

 Carlisle, maroon and gold being the 

 Minnesota colors. 



Julius Bieck has his store in readiness 

 to open some day this week. As he is 

 situated on "Washington avenue North 

 and is some distance from any other 

 dealer he will no doubt be favored with 

 a fair amount of trade. 



Carlson & bandberg are cutting some 

 fine Brides and Maids. 



St PauL 



H. Krinke & Sons are somewhat disap- 

 pointed with their carnations. They, 

 however, have been cutting some fine 

 pink mums, which have sold well. 



The Hill wedding took place Novem- 

 ber 21, the decorations being divided be- 

 tween two of our florists. Felix. 



MARLBOROUGH, N. Y. 



Velie Bros, have their plant in fine 

 shape. They have two houses of violets 

 containing 8,000 plants. They have also 

 three houses of carnations containing 

 12,000 plants ot such varieties as En- 

 chantress, Nelson Fisher, Mrs. Lawson, 

 Bobert Craig, Cardinal, Bed Sport, Oc- 

 toroon, White Perfection, Lady Bounti- 

 ful, M. A. Patten and Queen. All are 

 free of disease and are loaded with buds 

 for the holidays. 



EvANSViLLE, Ind. — Thomas C. Buston, 

 who is one of the county commissioners, 

 enjoys the esteem and confidence of the 

 public to a marked degree. His public 

 duties receive the same careful attention 

 that has made his private enterprises so 

 successful.

WATCH! PROSPERITY! LOOK! 



Election Is now over, the country settled to its 

 normal condition. Great Prosperity is in si^rht 

 for us all; why not for you? A little fortune lays 

 in front of your door; gr&h it now when you 

 have a chance. Look at others; see how suc- 

 cessful they are. Why? Because they are wide- 

 awake, they watch every opportunity and take 

 advantage of bargains. A Wg demand is in sigrht 

 now and for the holidays for the much-admired 

 Decorative Plants. 



Arancaria Bxcelaa. Arancaria Bxcelsa 

 Olauca and Arancaria Compaota Robnata. 

 Where have yon thought of buying them? Surely 

 from a man who makes a specialty of importing 

 araucarias and who can offer you Bargains. God- 

 frey Aschmann is the man. He has had the rep- 

 utation for the last ten years of being the great 

 IMPORTER and DEALER in araucarias of 

 America. Prices are slaughtered one half. 

 Never have been offered so low in the history of 

 arancaria cultivation. Why is that? Simply for 

 the reason to obtain room for the cultivation of 

 our great Easter stock. About 6,000 araucarias, 

 together with an immenee stock of ferns, palms, 

 rubbers, Oloire de Lorraine begonias, azaleas 

 and thousands of other plants which must be 

 sold by Christmas.
