REASONS 



BIAY" 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



The general business conditions are not 

 satisfactory to anyone at present. Soci- 

 ety is not doing anything to demand any 

 quantity of stock, confining themselves 

 usually, in the language of one man, to 

 "a sandwich and a few flowers on the 

 table." Funeral work continues to hold 

 up well, but Beauties and high priced 

 stock must suffer and you will hear 

 neither wholesalers nor retailers brag- 

 ging very much. 



Various Notes. 



There is considerable talk about the 

 carnation convention and it is likely there 

 will be a large delegation from this city. 

 Fred Burki, John Wyland, Albert Lorch, 

 Chas. Garland, I. S. Crall, Joha, Murchie 

 and E. A. Reineman have declared them- 

 selves and many others are holding the 

 matter under consideration. 



Jos. E. Bonsall, the man who runs his 

 greenhouses without artificial heat, was 

 a visitor last week. He locked his house 

 after mums were done, took his good 

 wife and went traveling. He is now 

 going home to get ready for old Sol 

 when he warms up enough to heat his 

 houses. Mr. Bonsall has been experi- 

 menting with this for several years and 

 says he gets all the work he wants from 

 spring to Thanksgiving, and makes 

 enough money in that time to enjoy liv- 

 ing the balance of the year. Hoo-Hoo. 



Ws sold 20,000 carnation plants with 

 a classified advertisement in the Bkyisw 

 for four weeks. — G. E. Beal. 



Why You Should Plant MAY 



May is a strictly commercial variety. Business 

 from beginning to end. 



It comes into bloom early and continues unin- 

 terruptedly until the end of the season. 



It is freer than any other light pink we know of. 



The size of the bloom is just what you want in 

 quantity, 2Yt to 3^ inches. 



The color is deeper and brighter and more even 

 than Enchantress and holds better. 



The form is well shown in illustration. 



It is not BO crowded in the center as Enchant- 

 ress, therefore opens quicker. 



The calyx never splits and stem is always strong. 



The plant grows strong and upright and about 

 as tall as Lady Bountiful. 



Makes nice plants in the field and transplants 

 easily. 



We invite yoii' to come and see our stock of it 

 any time; you will like its habit. 



February delivery. 



$18.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000

No Gold 

 Brick 



but a good, honest, free and ever-blooming clear white carnation. 

 Very easily rooted, very fragrant, excellent keeper and shipper. 

 Size and stem of Enchantress, with the freedom of bloom oi Mc- 

 Gowen; no cropper— always in bloom. Come and see it and 

 give it a trial. Once grown, you will not grow any other. 



Booted Cuttingrs, $1B.OO per 100; $100.00 per 1000. 



Unrooted cuttings, $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 10 per cent discount for 



cash with order. 



The garden committee of the Magiachuaetta Hortlcnltaral Society recently rislted the 

 rreenhouaea of H. A. Jahn, of New Bedford, to see his camatioDB. A white aeedUng which 

 it larsely planted and which has been shown at Boitton and other showB, waa looking fine. 

 It ia the moat wonderfully prollflc white the committee had aeen. The fl 'wer la large, full 

 and the atem ideal.— Boston Newa-letter in Nov. 28, 1907, iasne of Thk Florists' Riviiw.
