Oorof h V flOrdon ^^ Wey<^"^d question the best commercial pink Carnation in eight today. 

 L^KJlKJLllJ VJV^l mjii jjg ptdigree, Lawson on Enchantrese, alone ehould recommend it to 



every Carnation grower; but pedigree is by no means its chief merit. 

 It possesses many of its own, such as 



1st. VIOOROUS CONSTITUTION and FREEDOM FROM DISEASE. 



2d. Size. Blooms average OVER 3 INCHES, OH EXCELLENT FORM. 



3d. Color. Resembles Rose^pink Enchantress, but is superior to that variety, in being more uniform. 



4th. Long, stiff stem. 



5th. Fragrant 



6th. Keeping qualities of the best. 



7th. Blooming qualities, 30 PER CENT greater than Enchantress. 



We had a stock of 6000 plants last winter. The flowers were all sold at the holidays to the trade 

 in Philadelphia at $12.00 per 100, and uniformly sold for 50% more than we got for Enchantress 

 during the rest of the season.

Carnation grower can afford to be without it. Come and see it 

 growing, examine our books and decide for yourself. It must be sold on its merits or not at all.

The Market. 



Everyone reports business as fine. 

 Flowers are quite plentiful and prices 

 are fair. Mums are the whole thing 

 just now. Carnations are plentiful at 

 present; they retail at 50 cents per 

 dozen and the quality is good. Eoses 

 retail at $1.50 per dozen, Bride and 

 Maid being the varieties most used here. 

 Mums sell at $1.50 to $3 per dozen. 

 Violets bring $1 per hundred blooms. • 



Funeral work is good and uses up lots 

 of flowers. 



The weather is still mild, and light 

 firing is the rule. Hardy mums are still 

 blooming outdoors. Carnation plants 



arc looking fine. Thanksgiving will see 

 almost the last of the mums. Some nice 

 Beacon carnations are being shown in 

 the windows; this carnation has a good 

 color and is a good all-round variety. 

 The very warm weather here the last 

 few days has opened up things quickly, 

 and stock is quite plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



At the funeral of a prominent mill 

 man here last week, E. H. Chamberlain 

 and E. H. Woodhouse had some big or- 

 ders, both using large quantities of 

 Beauties, carnations, violets and orchids, 

 as well as a great many mums. 



At Wm. P. Peirce's, business was re- 

 ported as great last week. 



E. H. Chamberlain had some grand 



Enguehard . mums last week, and also 

 some nice single ones. His window dec- 

 orations are fine at all times. W. L 



Montreal, Can.— Following a custom 

 of thirteen years' standing, N. S. Dun- 

 lop, the chief of the floral department of 

 the Canadian Pacific railroad, recently 

 sent out packages and bulbs to station 

 agents and section foremen from one end 

 of the company's system to the other, 

 with a view to making the surroundings 

 of the station buildings as pleasing to 

 the eyes as possible in the spring. Start- 

 ing on his own initiative in quite a small 

 way, Mr. Dunlop has succeeded in secur- 

 ing the interest and cooperation of both 

 the company and the employees.
