This variety is bound to supplant other whites, as it not only produces as many, or more flowers, but every one 

 of them comes with a perfect calyx, borne on a long stem, supporting the bloom in perfect shape. This fact makes 

 it greatly superior to other varieties as a money maker. We have 20,000 cuttings in the sand for January delivery. 

 Rooted Cuttingfs, $8.00 per dozen, 918.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. 



Satisfaction guaranteed. See classified adv. for price list of Standard Varieties.

The Market. 



Christmas trade was far better than 

 last year, with prices about the same. 

 There was a good supply of roses, enough 

 to go around. Carnations were rather 

 scarce and brought good prices. The de- 

 mand for Beauties was limited. Violets 

 were in good demand and were all sold 

 out early. Paper whites were plentiful 

 and the demand for them was rather 

 light; most of them were used in mixed 

 boxes. There was a good supply of 

 valley and lilies, with demand rather 

 light. The sale for poinsettias, both cut 

 and in pans, was heavy, and there were 

 not enough to go around, even though 

 there were a great many more grown 

 than in previous years. 



Cyclamens and Lorraine begonias sold 

 well and there was a good supply of 

 both on hand. Azaleas were at a pre- 

 mium. There was a nice lot in the mar- 

 ket, but not nearly enough to fill all 

 wants. Made-up baskets sold well and 

 brought good prices. The demand for 

 pot plants and baskets is on the increase 

 from year to year. 



There was a glut of holly and trees, 

 as several cars came in late and were of 

 no use. There was some good holly, but 

 the bulk of it was far below par. There 

 were enough holly and trees left to make 

 a gopd, sharp sting for someone. 



Various Notes. 



Gus Ackerman reports a heavy trade 

 on holly and wreaths, of which he makes 

 a specialty. 



E. Metzmaier had a fine crop of carna- 

 tions, just right for Christmas, and said 

 he cleaned out everything in the way of 

 flowers. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. had a fine 

 lot of azaleas, begonias, cyclamens and 

 poinsettias, which found a ready sale. 



The Munk Floral Co. reports a good 

 Christmas trade. J. M. 



Beaumont, Tex. — The present mem- 

 bers of the Beaumont Floral Co., who 

 purchased the business a year ago, have 

 reason to be well satisfied with what has 

 been accomplished since then. They have 

 erected a mum house, 30x100, and a 

 boiler room and potting shed. They 

 have also built a 50-foot propagating 

 house and have it well filled at the pres- 

 ent time. They have cut about 3,000 

 mums from the new house. They are 

 now cutting some fine Brides, Maids and 

 Bichmonds.
