Selecl FeiDS For Fine Sloie Me 



We offer a grand lot of exceptionally well-grown plants of the different varietiei of NEPHROLEPIS, which 

 will be found one of the best selling and most profitable plants that florists can handle. 



Our stock is in unusually fine shape, and we will guarantee it will please the most exacting, as it is exception- 

 ally good value at the prices quoted. 



mPROVED ELEGANTISSIMA. The finest of all this type. It was introduced by us in 1905. This form 

 of Elegantissima has been greately improved, and shows no tendency to revert to the Boston, making it the most 

 valuable fern of this type. Strong plants, 4-inch pots, $3.00 per dozen; 6-inch, $6.00 to $9.00 per dozen, according 

 to size; 8-inch, $12.00 to $18.00 per dozen, according to size. 



SUPERBISSIMA. Introduced by us in 1908. A very unique and distinct novelty. Its distinguishing 

 characteristics are its dark green foliage and dense growth. Fronds are very heavily imbricated, making them very 

 dense and compact. Strong plants, 4-inch pots, $3.00 per dozen; 6-inch, $6.00 to $9.00 per dozen, according to 

 size; 8-inch, $12.00 to $18.00 per dozen, according to size.

The Market. 



Thanksgiving trade was quite satis- 

 factory and stock of all kinds averaged 

 better than in former years. Chrysan- 

 themums, carnations and roses were in 

 heavy demand, with a good supply. All 

 of the retail stores report an increase 

 over last year, and they ascribe it to the 

 fine weather. 



Shipping business has been good and 

 local trade is picking up all along the 

 line. Several large weddings and recep- 

 tions, with quite a lot of funeral work, 

 kept the retailers busy, but as flowers of 

 all kinds have been plentiful they had no 

 trouble in securing desirable stock. 



Thanksgiving finished up the chrysan- 

 themum season. Callas and Harrisii lilies 

 are coming in regularly now and find a 

 ready sale. Violets are in good demand. 

 Of lily of the valley there is hardly 

 enough to go around. 



Various Notes. 



Standholders at the Sixth street flower 

 market report a good business. 



The Walnut Hill Floral Bazaar had a 

 highly creditable show window decoration 

 last week. About 500 choice blooms of 

 chrysanthemums were staged, with a 

 front row of Gloire de Lorraine. On 

 both sides of the big window were hand- 

 some baskets of orchids and roses, with 

 ribbon used to good advantage. 



William Murphy's commission house is 

 handling a new red seedling carnation 

 from C. C. Murphy's place. The flower 

 is large and bold. The color is not quite 

 so bright as Beacon, but judging from 

 the cut that is coming in, it must surely 

 be a bread-winner. The store men caJl 

 for it, claiming it to be the best keeper 

 among the reds. 



William Dilger, superintendent of 

 parks, Detroit, Mich., was a caller last 

 week. 



A. H. Horning has returned home 

 after spending a week with the old folks 

 at Toledo, O., where he attended his sis- 

 ter's wedding. 



Albert McCullough spent a month down 

 in Florida and came back with a large 

 sack of wild ducks. H. Schwarz,
