THE CREGO ASTER 



" The Beat In the Market *' 



E. C. Amllng says : "I cut 775 blooms of Crego 

 Aster from my garden and realized $40.25 from 

 them. Isn't that going some? It shows what can 

 be done under careful treatment."

the next few weeks. As a rule red is not 

 a seller except at holiday times, when, 

 of course, the supply is never equal to 

 the demand, so we suggest that someone 

 give us a liquid so that we may color a 

 lot for the occasion. The green won't 

 go at this date. 



Enchantress seems to be the favorite 

 and will sell every day in the year, and 

 in our opinion it — or one of its color — 

 will always sell well. The White Perfec- 

 tion and Lady Bountiful are two that 

 are going to stay a while. 



Dear old Lawson ! Truly, it sounds 

 harsh to hear: "Lawson? Why! You 

 can 't give them away. ' ' I found two 

 years ago it was getting hard to sell and 

 most growers have dropped it. The color 

 is not wanted any more and no varieties 

 of similar colors can be sold readily; it 

 wouldn 't make any difference if they had 

 a stem equal to and a flower as big as a 

 12-inch sunflower. 



Everyone has reported poor business 

 all summer, but we had a severe frost 

 very early, which killed off the outdoor 

 stock almost entirely, so that it made 

 business jump suddenly in the stores and 

 at retail growing establishments. 



Wc can see right now that the demand 

 will not nearly be supplied for Christmas. 

 Several of our growers will have a fine 

 lot of good mums and that will mean 

 good money, for we notice that since the 

 election in November the call increased 

 and that the best was none too good. 



I hardly know where roses will soar to 

 for Christmas, as few are grown locally 

 and this market is almost always shy on 

 good roses. The same may be said of 

 violets, but the violets from California 

 are good and people buy them freely. 

 Of course the odor is left in California, 

 or on the train, but we sometimes are 

 obliged to revive them with the atomizer 

 and some water. Some few customers 

 know it — and don't object — and some 

 say they think them fine and fresh, and 

 are contented and happy. Of course 

 every one is glad to see others happy 

 and pleased. 



Already we know of preparations 

 being made for a larger stock than ever 

 of outdoor grown flowers for next sea- 

 son and we want to brighten our beau- 

 tiful city up all we can for the admira- 

 tion of the tourists certain to come to 

 see Tacoma next year during the Alaska- 

 Yukon-Pacific exposition. S. L. H. 



Salem, Mass. — J. Joseph Gorman has 

 opened a flower department at the store 

 of David G. Whelton, on Essex and 

 Summer streets, and is making some 

 handsome window displays. 



Everett, Mass. — Clifford Tilton was 

 recently swindled out of more than $40 

 by means of forged checks. Twice with- 

 in two hours a well dressed stranger, of 

 middle age, appeared at Mr. Tilton's 

 store and purchased flowers for a "dead 

 sister," in each case paying for the 

 flowers with , a check which bore the 

 forged signature of Mayor Charles 

 Bruce. Both checks were made payable 

 to "Daniel Clark," and were on the 

 Winthrop National bank of Boston.
