rapidly and clearly and suggesting to 

 him anything he may have forgotten. 

 Only the numbers have to be written. 



Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, Pa., 

 have booked orders for 60,000 young 

 plants of My Maryland and orders still 

 are coming in. Some of these plants 

 have already been delivered. Mr. Myers 

 considers this rose a wonder. In spite 

 of the heavy propagation, they could cut 

 a thousand nice blooms for Christmas, 

 but the wood is too valuable. 



Victor Groshens, Eoslyn, Pa., will have 

 an immense crop of Eichmond roses for 

 Christmas. This house, which has yielded 

 but few blooms throughout the fall, now 

 looks like a field of wheat, so evenly 

 developed are the buds, 



Casper & George L. Pennock, Lans- 

 downe. Pa., will have a heavy crop of 

 fine Beauties for Christmas. The condi- 

 tion of their houses reflects great credit 

 on the foreman, Herbert Baker, 



The retail stores are nearly all busily 

 engaged in tying bows of Christmas red 

 ribbon on scarlet immortelle wreaths and 

 bells. So generous are the supplies seen 

 everywhere that it suggests the possibil- 

 ity of the retailers getting along with- 

 out any flowers. 



A, Farenwald, Hillside, Pa,, will have 

 an excellent crop of Killarney for the 

 Christmas holidays. 



ilyers & Samtman expect to have their 

 usual big crop of Beauties for Christmas. 

 A number of orders have already been 

 booked for specials at $1 each. 



Fancy Beauties took the long expected 

 advance December 15, $4 per dozen being 

 readily paid, and $5 a dozen being asked 

 for choice stock. Other roses, select 

 grade, are also advancing. 



M. Rice & Co. report that Monday, 

 December 14, saw the largest number of 

 mail orders of the season. They came 

 from all parts of the country, even from 

 so far as California. Phil.

ST. LOUIS.' 



The Market 



The market last week was in rather 

 good condition and there was hardly any- 

 thing in oversupply. It is beginning 

 to look as though business has really 

 started in for a good season. The up- 

 town retailers had a busy week in .vork 

 for social affairs. The downtown florists 

 report a fairly good over-the-counter 

 trade and a good deal of funeral work. 



The wholesalers are receiving ship- 

 ments of extra fine roses and carna- 



tions and are disposing of them at fair- 

 ly good prices. California violets are 

 having a good run and are cleaning up- 

 almost daily, with prices up to 75 cents 

 per hundred. Chrysanthemums are al- 

 most over, although some of the houses 

 are still receiving some extra good blooms 

 of Eaton and Mrs. Jerome Jones. But 

 most of the mums and small stuff are 

 only good for funeral work. Bulbous 

 stock is improving in quality and quite 

 a few Eomans and Paper Whites are 

 now coming in. 



There are plenty of greens of all 

 kinds, including bouquet green and holly.
