New Carnations ~ 1 908 - 09 



Mrs. Chas. Knopf 



A grand variety; comes into bloom early and remains steady tbe balance of the season. 

 One of the best varieties that bas^ver been introduced, and bound to surpass the grand 

 old variety, Enchantress, from which it is a seedling. Description;— The flower is 4^4 

 inches and over, with a better form than Enchantress, well built up in the center and has a wide guard petal, with stiffness that gives it a 

 grand make up in general. Having much more substance and the petals being stiffer, it keeps and ships much better than the above 

 variety. The calyx is very stiff and large, giving the flower a chance to develop freely, and does not burst as much as Enchantress. 

 The habit is ideal, closely resembles Enchantress, but produces more flowers. Can be grown either from the field or inside all summer. 

 Likes a temperature of 50 to 52. The stem is 24 inches and over, and holds the flower up gracefully at all times of the year. It gives one 

 good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet sent out and is bound to surpass tbe old variety. Enchantress. 



Y3««|^-«r Beautiful scarlet-crimson, one of the best ever sent out. Does not turn black with age or after shipping. The Fize of 

 f^Vl U 7 ^^^ fiower is 8 to 8^ inches, with a grand form, built up well in the center, having the most substance of any flower we 

 ^ •^ know of. One of the best shippers and keepers. The calyx is short, but of tough texture and well expanded, givicg the 



flower freedom to expand. The habit ia ideal; easy to handle: does well from field or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 60 to 52. 

 Very free producer and fcOEtinuIng throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 80 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up 

 the flower gracefully at all times of the year. This variety is sure to give satisfaction and find a place among the standards. 



Tlie above varieties, $12.00 per 100;. $100.00 per 1000; 250 at 1000 rate. 

 It don't cost you anything to send for a circular. A postal will bring you one. We invite the trade to come and see the above

The Market 



Trade has been steadily on the increase 

 and loads of stock have been moved in 

 the last two weeks. The bulk of the 

 midseason mums is cut now and the later 

 ones are making their appearance. There 

 has really been no glut on the market 

 here, though a great many more mums 

 were grown than heretofore and it was 

 predicted they would be overdone. This 

 shows how the demand is increasing for 

 the beautiful. Roses and carnations are 

 coming in finely and at times it looked 

 as though there would be a glut on roses, 

 but, taking it all around, these have been 

 very satisfactory. There have been a 

 number of weddings lately, which have 

 helped to swell the receipts for November. 



Violets are coming in better and find 

 fairly good sales. 



QubMeetins;. 



At the meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 Tuesday evening, -November 10, there 

 were some good mum blooms. While the 

 number was not largfe, they made a good 

 showing. Several songs and several selec- 

 tions on the piano were rendered during 

 the evening and were much enjoyed. 



The following oflBcers were elected for 

 the coming year: President, R. A. Currie; 

 vice-president, C. P. Torrey; treasurer, 

 J. Reichert; secretary, James McKellar; 

 sergeant-at-arms, J. H. Williams; trus- 

 tees, Sherman Stephens, George Bauman, 

 I. D. Seibert, William Metzmaier and C. 

 D, Batelle. 



A good number went from here to the 

 national flower show and all report a fine 

 time and a great show. J. M. 



Des Moines, Ia. — The Society of Iowa 

 Florists will hold a meeting at the Capi- 

 tol building, December 9, in connection 

 with the meeting of the State Horticul- 

 tural Society. 



Hamilton, Ont. — McKay & Vossen 

 have done remarkably well since their 

 o|)ening day, November 2. They say 

 that cut flowers move slowly, but there 

 is a good demand for funeral work. Mr. 

 Connon reported a good demand for cut 

 flowers on Saturday, November 7, for 

 Thanksgiving. 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Golden Glow and Pacific Supreme, our last springfs Novelties, have been 

 well received by the commercial growers. 



Their verdict for our 1909 sorts can not be other than satisfactory. 

 They possess commercial qualifications that are sure to make them 

 popular. 



They have all been certificated by the Chrysanthemum Society of 

 America. 



Early planting and early buds are not imperative, as they produce double 

 flowers when planted late. 



Gloria, an early Enchantress-piok, October 10 to 25. Prcs. Taft, mid- 

 season, incurved white, October 25 to November 10. Mrs. W. E.
