CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Roses and Carnations 



Our stock is well known to be the finest that can be produced and our crops are now just coming 

 on, so we can take the best of care of all orders. We look for a large demand from the south for 



All Saints' Day 



but expect the supply to be ample to take care of all orders without advance in prices. 



Remember that while our reputation is made by the special fancy stock we produce in such large 

 quantity, we have shorter lengths for all who want them. So large a part of our trade calls for 

 "Fancy," we are able to make attractive prices to buyers of shorter stock, especially if a quantity is 

 taken. Our Carnations are now in good crop and we can supply all orders. Fine stock at reasonable 

 prices. No order too large for us to fill; no order too small to receive our careful attention. Standing 

 orders solicited 



We are now prepared to supply a fine grade of ORCHIDS.

Various Notes. 



Herman Meyers, formerly with Jensen 

 & Dekema, is now foreman at the Colum- 

 bine Gardens, Westminster, Colo., where 

 the greenhouses are planted almost en- 

 tirely to carnations. 



Robert Johnstone, well known in this 

 market, is now on Valmora ranch, near 

 Watrous, N. M., seeking to regain his 

 health. The doctors told him that he 

 would succumb to tuberculosis if he re- 

 mained in this climate. 



E. T. Wanzer, Wheaton, 111., is build- 

 ing a new house 20x81, to be used for 

 miscellaneous stock. They are now cut- 

 ting Virginia Poehlmann chrysanthe- 

 mum, which E. Scheffler, the foreman, 

 says easily beats anything else on the 

 place and is regarded as an ideal variety. 

 It will be grown largely next season, 



displacing several other early varieties. 

 The carnations also are looking well. He 

 is one of Randall's shippers. 



Wendland & Keimel, Elmhurst, 111., 

 are again cutting fine Killarney. This 

 is a new place and they did not get the 

 heating plant connected up until the 

 cold weather struck in August, with the 

 result that they had a bad case of mil- 

 dew. This has now been overcome. 



Julius Schnapp, on Forty-seventh 

 street, maintains a neat store, with con- 

 servatory in the rear, and appears to be 

 making progress. 



Miss Mamie Corbett, who has been 

 with Bassett & Washburn, is now keep- 

 ing the books for Peter Reinberg. 



Peter Scrozynski has his place filled 

 with Bostons and rubbers. His Easter 

 lilies will all be longiflorums. He wants 



late dug stock and says his largest batch 

 of bulbs was delivered and potted last 

 week. 



Charles Fisk reports an occasional 

 burst of activity in the retail business 

 on the west side, but sftys that in gen- 

 eral things are moving along much as 

 usual. 



Vaughan & Sperry say that business 

 with them is now running fifty per cent 

 ahead of last year. 



Scheiden & Schoos are cutting some 

 fine flowers of their red seedling, which 

 has been named W. H. Taft. The stem 

 has considerably improved. 



W. N. Rudd, at Mount Gfeenwood, is 

 again shipping chrysanthemums to the 

 E. F. Winterson Co. 



John Kruchten & Co. say they filled 

 one order for 3,500 carnations last week,
