times that there is no yellow to go with 

 this superb white. Some good medium 

 Bonnaffcns are the nearest approach, 

 but they belong in the class below. Mrs. 

 Jerome Jones fills the third class, with 

 a few Minnie Bailey, Dorothy Faust and 

 one or two others, with representatives 

 in both the select and ordinary classes.

Mignonette is fine. Bouvardia is im- 

 proving. Stevia was never better, but 

 is in oversupply. Paper Whites are al- 

 most a drug, as Eomans would be were 

 they more plentiful. Poinsettia is only 

 cut on orders. Valley is in slight favor. 

 Christmas greens are already becoming 

 an important feature. 



Beauties at Christmas. 



The consensus of opinion among ex- 

 pert judges is that the price of Ameri- 

 can Beautx roses at Christmas will not 

 equal that of the last few years. While 

 it is possible for unfavorable weather 

 conditions, or heavy demand, to upset 

 this opinion, the chances are that it will 

 be verified. The supply is much larger 

 this year than ever before. The demand 

 appears to have temporarily weakened, 

 and while there will undoubtedly be a 

 good demand at Christmas, it is ques- 

 tionable whether it will be sufficient to 

 warrant the usual fancy prices at the 

 holidays. In view of these conditions it 

 seems reasonably safe for intending buy- 

 ers to figure on being able to secure 

 whatever stock they may require at from 

 one-fifth to one-third less than last sea- 



son. 



George Btirton's. 



I think it was in 1901 that two de- 

 cisions were reached, both of which have 

 a bearing on the flower market in this 

 city today. One was John Burton's 

 conclusion that the time had come when 

 he could establish a new place for his 

 son on which to grow Beauties. The 

 other was Leo Niessen's determination 

 that he must have good Beauties all the 

 year around to satisfy the increasing de- 

 mands of his business. The result is 

 that George Burton has been growing 

 Beauties for the last six years, almost 

 to the exclusion of everything else, and 

 growing them with an ability and pre- 

 cision that has practically kept him in 

 the market from July to June of eacb 

 year. The rapid rise of George Burton 

 is coincident with the immense increase
