New Carnations ~ J 908-09 



Mrs. Chas. Knopf 



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

 One of tbe best varieties that has ever been introduced, and bound to surpass tbe grand 

 old variety. Enchantress, from which it is a seedling. Description:— The color of Mrs. 

 Cbas. Knopf is somewhat darker than Enchantress during the winter months. The flower is 4^ inches and over, with a better form than 

 Enchantress, well built up in tbe 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 stiflfer, 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 Enchant- 

 ress, 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, holds the flower up gracefully at all times of tbe year. It gives good stems the first crop. One of the grandest yet 

 sent out and is bound to surpass the old variety, Enchantress. 



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

 the flower is 3 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, givirg the 

 flower freedom to expand. The habit is ideal; easy to handle; does well from field or grown inside all summer. Temperature, 50 to 52. 

 Very free producer and continuing throughout the season. The stem is 24 to 30 inches, and the first crop is very stiff, but holds up 

 tbe flower gracefully at all times of tbe 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; 25U at 1000 rate.

The Market. 



A general improvement all along the 

 line is noticeable on all sides, and the 

 indications are that the holiday season of 

 1908 will prove more encouraging to 

 many than that of a year ago. Nor will 

 there be a scarcity of flowers — in this 

 section, at least. 



The New Van Bochove Range. 



G. Van Bochove & Bro. have everything 

 about their new range in the pink of con- 

 dition. In fact, there never was a time 

 in the history of this progressive and en- 

 terprising concern when things looked so 

 well and prosperous as they do at present. 

 With a full crop of Beauties in sight for 

 Christmas, and their general stock of 

 roses and carnations all that could possi- 

 bly be desired, one need not wonder at the 

 optimism pervading the establishment. 



The old range of houses is no more. 

 The land has been cleared and will soon 

 form a part of a rapidly growing resi- 

 dential district. About a mile farther up 

 the road, upon a thirty-acre strip of land 

 that is ideal for the purpose, there stands 

 their new range, built within the last four 

 years, consisting of fifteen modern houses 

 and comprising about 100,000 feet of 

 glass. It is a modern establishment in 

 every sense of the word, and one well 

 worth seeing. 



Their new store, at 130 Burdic street, 

 is perhaps the first up-to-date florist's 

 store ever opened at Kalamazoo. In loca- 

 tion — at the very heart of the business 

 center — as well as in its general equip- 

 ment, it will compare most favorably with 

 the best stores of the kind in the country.

SOMERSWORTH, N. H. — G. S. Ramsburg 

 is planning for the reconstruction of his 

 buildings, which were burned a short 

 time ago. lie will also erect a large ex- 

 tension to his plant. 



Yellow Springs, O. — Howard Brown 

 has erected a greenhouse on Dayton street 

 and has begun business there. Mr. 

 Brown was employed in a greenhouse in 

 Springfield, O., for many years.
