THE RIGHT RIBBONS 



For You, the Enterprisine Florist, are 



The Pine Tree Brand 



plenty of rich, brilliant luster, made 

 in many widths and colorings. These 

 ribbons are fresh from our looms 

 daily and the prices are no more than 

 ordinary ribbons. No jobber can offer 

 you ribbons like these at our prices.

Various Not««. 



A. Leuthy returned December 9 from a 

 visit among the leading plant growers 

 for the New York and Philadelphia mar- 

 l^ets. He reports stock as looking good 

 ■ind well sold out. Mr. Leuthy has 3,500 

 azaleas right for Christmas and an 

 abundance of other stock, 



W. W. Edgar & Co. are doing a rous- 

 ing trade at present in azaleas, Lor- 

 >aine begonias and other Easter plants, 



and will have little left in the way of 

 blooming plants for Christmas. 



Visitors last week included A. Zirk- 

 man, of M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia; 

 .Tames Comont, of James Carter & Co., 

 London; \V. B. Cleves, representing A. 

 T. Boddington. New York. 



A Japanese garden in one of T. F. 

 Calvin's windows has attracted much at- 

 tention the last few days. It is the 

 work of W. W. Kawson & Co. 



Edgar Bros, had what might have eas- 

 ily proved a disastrous boiler explosion 

 December 9. A boiler which had not 

 been in service for sopie time was start- 



ed and, all valves being closed, an ex- 

 plosion occurred which lifted the boiler 

 out of place a few feet, blew out the 

 back and destroyed all connections, lifted 

 the floor of the shed and blew out some 

 windows. No one was near at the time 

 of the explosion. Messrs. Edgar hastened 

 to get in a temporary boiler and man- 

 aged to keep the houses above freezing. 

 Backer & Co. have a fine lot of poin- 

 settias for Christmas, bracts averaging 

 twenty to twenty-four inches in di- 

 ameter. 



N. F. Comley is still cutting some 

 extra fine Nonin and Eaton chrysanthe- 

 mums and has a fine lot of Intensity 

 for Christmas. 



The first freesia and Trumpet Major 

 narcissus seen this season arrived De- 

 cember 11 from the E. Sutermeister es- 

 tate. 



Montrose Greenhouses will have a 

 heavy cut of white and pink Killarney 

 and extra fine Richmond for Christmas. 



The club meeting December 21 prom- 

 ises to bring out the biggest attendance 

 of the year. There promise to be keen 

 contests for president, vice-president and 

 the executive board. 



May Day and Shasta carnations are 

 unusually fine with Patten & Co., of 

 Tewksbury, at present. 



J. Gale and L. E. Small are handling 

 extra fine double violets at Park Street 

 Market No. 2. 



Henry M. Robinson & Co. are experi- 

 encing the greatest rush of business in 

 their history and are having to work 

 night and day to keep abreast of their 

 orders. 



Mann Bros, are handling extra fine 

 lots of lilies and bulbous stock in variety
