The Christmas rush is on and the pros- 

 pects are good for a heavy trade. The 

 flower stores are radiant with natural and 

 artificial poinsettias. Lorraine begonias, 

 azaleas and valley are also seen in large 

 numbers. Carnations are scarce and 

 chrysanthemums are on the wane, while 

 , roses and violets are plentiful and of 

 good quality. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Margaret O 'Conner and Miss 

 Anna Moran are new salesladies at the 

 Baur Floral Co.'s store. 



Wm. McCarthy has some good gigan- 

 teum lilies coming on for Christmas. 



Chas. Offerle's carnations and sweet 

 peas are in fine condition, and John Laver 

 excels in violets and potted plants. 



Baur Floral Co. has a fine lot of poin- 

 settias. 



Mrs. Williams has opened a floral de- 

 partment at Johnson's cloak store, 808 

 State street, and is getting her supply 

 from the Floral Park Greenhouses. 



The carnations shown by the SchluraflP 

 Floral Co. are hard to beat. 



Frank Thayer, formerly with the Baur 

 Floral Co.'s greenhouses, is now in the 

 grocery business with his father, O. 

 Thayer, on West Twenty-sixth street. 



The Erie Floral Co. is sending large 

 shipments of cut flowers to Wm. Kast- 

 ing, of Buffalo. B. P. 



NEV ORLEANS. 



The Market 



The weather here has not yet been cold 

 enough to touch the most tender plants, 

 and the gardens around New Orleans look 

 beautiful, with beds of late chrysanthe- 

 mums surrounded by salvia and poinset- 

 tias. Funeral work and society decora- 

 tions are reported brisk. We have been 

 noticing in many places that field-grown 

 carnations received lately from the north 

 are doing poorly here. New Orleans is 

 surely a hard spot in which to cultivate 

 carnations. Some florists down here keep 

 on saying that it can be done, but we 

 are still waiting the realization of their 

 knowledge how to do it. It will be a 

 great saving in money left at home. 



Various Notes. 



George Thomas is cutting a fine variety 

 of sweet peas. They are grown outdoors, 

 of course. 



Mrs. Menard, assisted by her son, 

 Claude Orry, is continuing the business 

 of her late husband, J. H. Menard. 



Under the name of Shindler & Co., a 

 corporation has been chartered to con- 

 duct a retail seed and flower business. 

 The capital stock is fixed at the sum of 

 $5,000. M. M. L.

ADMIRATION 



This carnation we ofler to the tr^de as being one of the finest Carnations of any color 

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

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

 Plants benched in August are now coming Into full crop, carrying from 10 to 20 bads. We 

 have been cutting since September 10th. As a money maker you will find no equal. 



The size of the flower is 3 to 3^ inches, excellent form, well built up in the center, with 

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

 mercial variety. A grand keeper and shipper. 



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

 freedom and earllness make it nearly the ideal carnation. The calyx is very tough and 

 seldom bursts. Can be handled with great success either from the field or grown inside all 

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

 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 carnationa. We are 

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