MARY TOLMAN 



Winner of First Prize at IVIilwaulcee. 



Deep flesh pink, the most beautiful color of any in this class. Does not fade in the 

 strongest light. An excellent, clean, upright grower, long, stiff stems and perfectly 

 formed flowers. Will produce more perfect hlooms in a season than Enchantress. We 

 want your order for this excellent Carnation. Orders booked now for January 1910 delivery. 



$12.00 per 100 ; $100.00 per 1000.

GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market. 



The weather clerk has been especially 

 kind the last two weeks and gave us as 

 nice fall weather as one could desire, ex- 

 cepting several slight frosts, and busi- 

 ness has picked up considerably. 



Chrysanthemums are the leading flow- 

 er and are in heavy supply; in fact, they 

 are in oversupply and locally can be had 

 quite cheap. First-class blooms, that 

 usually bring $3 per dozen, were sold 

 as low as $1.50. 



Eoses are plentiful, and considering it 

 is the height of the mum season are 

 selling well, while carnations are the one 

 scarce article. At no time this fall have 

 there been enough to properly go around, 

 but the plants show promise of a gen- 

 erous Thanksgiving and Christmas crop. 

 Violets are doing nicely, and selling well, 

 although at a somewhat reduced price as 

 compared to former years. One thing 

 on which the market is a bit shy is lilies, 

 but another crop will soon be in. 



Various Notes. 



The following Grand Rapids florists 

 took in tlie Chicago mum show: Henry 

 Smith, Geo. F. Crabb, Alfred Hannah, 

 Eli Cross, .T. Schols, Freyling, C. Bow- 

 ditch and Ella O'Neil. AH pronounced 

 it fine and were specially interested in 

 the retail exhibits, wliich were decidedly 

 educating, giving many ideas for local 

 application. 



Crabb & Hunter have sold part of 

 their Reed Lake farm, and next sum- 

 mer will move their city plant out there 

 and grow for the wholesale trade. 



S. J. Perry and his wife had the 

 good fortune to be born on the same 

 date, November 6, one year apart, and 

 so gave a birthday party at which all 

 employees and their families attended, 

 about eighty people being present. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Perry were presented with a 

 handsome library table. 



Greenfly has made its appearance in 

 several establishments, and is being 

 vigorously fought. It is starting out on 

 tomatoes, some even trying what they 

 can do on poinsettias. They are also very 

 partial to salvia and fuchsias. 



G. F. C. 



Leominster, Mass. — George M. Ken- 

 dall sterilized all of the soil in his green- 

 houses with steam this fall, in order to 

 exterminate all underground pests and 

 put the soil in good condition for hia 

 next crop of cucumbers.
