 later, so do it now. Price, $12 00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



There was but little to complain about 

 as far as business was concerned last 

 week. Stock seemed to shorten up until 

 trade needed all that came in, and con- 

 sequently prices stiffened somewhat in 

 the latter part of the week. The demand 

 seemed to call for everything except 

 Beauties, which did not seem to be 

 needed badly at an increased price. 



Today finds the weather clear and 

 cold, with the thermometer varying from 

 8 degrees at night to 20 degrees during 

 the day, which is not especially delightful 

 for the people handling plants. 



The outlook for a Christmas cut is re- 

 ported good on everything except roses, 

 which will be short in this vicinity. 

 Everyone reports good prospects, also, 

 of a satisfactory Christmas business, if 

 prices do not soar too high, as they say 

 there is a limit. One thing is sure — the 

 stores are all provided with quantities of 

 plants, the effects in baskets and pans 

 are beautiful, and these will take the 

 place of flowers in many cases if prices 

 on flowers are too unreasonable. 



There seems to be a plentiful supply 

 of Christmas greens of all kinds, but it 

 is still a few days until Christmas and 

 one cannot tell what may happen in that 

 time. 



Various Notes. 



Ed. McCallum, of the McCallum Co., 

 has been a grip victim, but hopes to be 

 out for the Christmas rush. 



Walter Breitenstein was also confined 

 to his home several days last week. 



Allen Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., was another victim. 



Alexander Nelson, superintendent of 

 Arsenal park, who died a week or two 

 ago, came to his death by an accident. 

 Eeturning home, he started round to the 

 rear of his house, tripped and fell, the 

 injury causing his death. He left a 

 wife and nine children, most of them 

 quite young. 



Among the visitors were : Mr. and Mrs. 

 Edward Leizmann, Latrobe, Pa.; Mrs. 

 J. J. Beck and daughter. New Castle, Pa. ;

ADMIRATION 



This carnation we ofier to the trade ai being one of the finest Carnationa of anr color 

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

 having that beautiful latin finish, always thowlng up well either in natural or artiflcial light. 

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

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



The size of the flower is 8 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 earliness 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 carnations. We are 

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