QUALITY 



Dahlias 



The most popular and serviceable Cut 

 Flower for the next six weeks will be 

 the Dahlia. Our stock is in fine condi- 

 tion, and we offer many new and fancy 

 varieties — along with the well-known 

 Standards, such as Kriemhilde, Lynd- 

 hurst, Clifford W. Bruton, Catherine 

 Duer, Jack Rose, and others. 



Our stock of this flower is so large 

 that we are in a position to furnish 

 quantities of any one variety or shade 

 of color on short notice. »

two parts, one on cut flowers, the other 

 on bulbs. The former I consider rela- 

 tively unimportant. The laws of supply 

 and demand will always govern the pro- 

 duction of cut flowers. Should anyone 

 choose to flood this market with daffo- 

 dils, there is nothing to prevent, any 

 more than there is to prevent a dahlia 

 grower or a chrysanthemum grower from 

 doing the same thing. It will be done 

 as long as it is profitable and no longer. 

 The second part, concerning bulb grow- 

 ing in Virginia, is of vital interest; if 

 we can produce bulbs required for forc- 

 ing and planting outdoors in this coun- 

 try as well as they are grown in Hol- 

 land and for the same money, every- 

 one would far rather buy them at home 

 than abroad. 



Mr. Guille asserts positively that Vir- 

 ginia is producing just as good bulbs 

 as are grown in Holland, and will- con- 

 tinue to produce them in larger and 

 larger quantities as the market expands. 

 He stuck to this point, despite adverse 

 opinion. The members generally ap- 

 peared to doubt whether it could be 

 done, but they one and all frankly de- 

 clared their willingness to be convinced. 



Various Notes. 



"An American Bulb for Every Amer- 

 ican Garden" was the keynote to one of 

 the most brilliant addresses ever deliv- 

 ered before the Florists' Club, that which 

 occurred at the September meeting. Who 

 was the author? Why, P. Joseph Lynch, 

 of West Grove, Pa. 



J. D. Eisele, vice-president of the 

 Henry A. Dreer Co., writes from Holland 

 to a friend that the weather has been 

 phenomenally wet, five out of the last six 

 days being rainy, and adds the important 

 fact that the azaleas are unusually well 

 budded this season. 



Joseph Swearer, manager, Holland, Pa., 

 has commenced the erection of a green- 

 house 36x200 feet, concrete being an im- 

 portant element in the operation so far 

 complete. 



The Central Flower Shop is the name 

 adopted by T. Chochos and V. Alexis, 

 two New York florists, who opened for 

 business September 7 at the southeast 

 comer of Twelfth and Chestnut streets. 

 They have leased the pavement privi- 

 lege from Finley Acker & Co., erecting 

 thereon the handsomest showcase ever 

 I seen on a sidowalk in thl«i citv. It is un- 



derstood the lessee should carry high- 

 grade stock. 



J. Murray Bassett, of Hammonton, 

 N. J., has sent out an attractive series 

 of picture postal cards descriptive of his 

 business in its various branches. Two 

 show groups of native orchids, another 

 the snowball hydrangea, H. arborescens 

 sterilis; another a field of dahlias in full 

 bloom, a leading specialty with Mr. Bas- 

 sett. There are others, which unfortu- 

 nately I am unable to name at this mo- 

 ment. 



Vincent F. Gorley, of St. Louis, was a 

 visitor in this city a few days ago. Mr. 

 Gorley stopped to call on his way home 

 from Europe. 



Henry F. Michell Co. has just received 

 the first shipment of 4,000,000 Dutch 

 bulbs. Their new mammoth warehouse. 

 Tower Hall, is rapidly rounding into 

 shape. 



A pictorial postal card received in this 

 city from Samuel S. Pennock says that he 

 is leading the simple life at Pocono Lake, 

 Pa., sleeping in a tent and living in the 

 open. 



Charles Henry Fox has returned from 

 Europe. 



The Logan Nurseries, A. P. Irwin, have 

 planted 16,000 carnations, large quanti- 

 ties of Asparagus plumosus, some smilax 

 and other specialties. They will also 

 gro\^erns and lilies, and will force some 

 bul/s. 



\Vfllter P. Stokes has returned from 

 PocoCT^ Manor, Pa., to his home at 

 Moorestown, N. J. 



Kichard Umphried returned September 

 2 from an eleven weeks' trip to Europe. 

 Mr. Umphried spent most of his time in 

 Stuttgart. Bremen, and in Austria, in-
