The Market 



The extra demand for flowers for 

 Thanksgiving day increased the sales of 

 a good many of the florists from ten to 

 twenty-five per cent. The shipping de- 

 mand was also increased, giving an activ- 

 ity to the business which has not been 

 equaled for a good many weeks. The 

 supply was not equal to the demand, as 

 the growers were not cutting as much as 

 usual just at the time when the stock 

 was most wanted. 



Chrysanthemums had been pretty well 

 cut out for many days before the holi- 

 day; in fact, no yellow mums were to 

 be had on the day they were most called 

 for. Carnations were also scarce and 

 prices advanced about one-third; even 

 then not enough could be had. All kinds 

 of roses were scarce, pink ones particu- 

 larly so, as well as Beauties. Bichmond 

 also has come to the front as a favorite, 

 but was not plentiful enough to supply 

 the demand on that day. Violets were 

 particularly shy, the price going up ac- 

 cordingly. Taking it all in all, the trade 

 was good and the market was practically 

 cleaned up. 



Stevia and Paper Whites are now ar- 

 riving in sufficient quantities to help out 

 materially. 



VAfiMwNotM. 



The charity ball on Tuesday evening 

 of last week was practically the begin- 

 ning of the social season, and many 

 flowers were used, both for the ball and 

 the preceding dinners. The decorations 

 at El Jebel Temple were done this year, 

 as also for several years, by the Park 

 Floral Co., B. E. Gillis doing the work 

 in his usual artistic manner. 



The next meeting of the Colorado Flo- 

 rists' Club will be held on Thursday 

 evening, December 9, at T. M. A. hall.

DAVENPORT, lA. 



Emil Boehm, park superintendent, en- 

 tertained the Tri-City Florists' Associa- 

 tion on the evening of November 18. 

 The discussion was on "Christmas Bas- 

 kets." Messrs. Anderson and Ewoldt 

 had a display of carnation blooms, which 

 John T. Temple, one of the judges of the 

 Chicago and St. Louis displays, pro- 

 noonced as fine as any exhibited at those 

 shows. The club will hold a chrysanthe- 

 mum show in January. Mr. Boehm fur- 

 nished a fine luncheon. 



ADMIRATION 



This carnation we offer to the trade as being one of the finest Carnationi of anv color 

 that we know of up to date. Being a beautiful shade of pink, somewhat lighter than Winona, 

 having that beautiful satin finish, always t-howing ud well either in natural or artificial light. 

 Plants benched in August are now coming into full crop, carryinsr from 10 to 20 buds, we 

 have been cutting since September lT>th. As a money maker you will find no equal. 



The size of the flower is 8 to 8Hi inches, excellent form well built up in tbe center, with 

 the petals so arranged as to make it stand the general requirements of a good fancy com- 

 mercial variety. A grand keener and shipper. 



The habit is ideal, upright with no surplus grass and every shoot going into flower. Its 

 freedom and earlin>-R8 make it nearly the ideal carnation. The calyx is very tough and 

 seldom bursts. Oan be bandied with great success either from tbe field or grown inside all 

 summer. No one has to be an expert to handle this variety. It scored 86 points at tbe 

 American Carnation Society meeting at Indianapolis, January 27 to 28, 1909. 



Price, $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. 

 250 at 1000 rate. 



Send for catalogue of all other new and standard varieties of carnations, 

 always pleased to have visitors come and inspect our stock and varieties.

Shasta 



Daring October Shasta gave us 2 blooms per plant. Daring 

 the first 15 days of November we cut 2369 good blooms from the 

 same bed of 1800 plants. The cut is getting better every day. 



Growers who come to see it growing, marvel at its prodactive- 

 nesB and fine quality of bloom. We would like to have you come 

 and see it too. Once you see it, you will want to grow it. 



Booking orders for it now at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1006
