CARNATION DOROTHY GORDON 



Tou are looking for the variety tbat will show the most profit, plas 

 the greatest satisfaction to 7oar customers. 



Very well, this Carnation will do both. Dorothy Gordon is 

 ▼Igorous and diaeaBe-free, with flowers of uniform color— a shade 

 darker than Pink Enchantress. 



It prodaces at least a third more carnations than does Enchantress, 

 and much larger— average flowers of Dorothy Gordon measure 3 inches 

 or more in diameter. It has a stiff stem and is a long keeper. 



It has regularly brought us double the profits of the leading 

 commercial sorts— Enchantress, for instance. Let us illustrate : 



Encbantress sells at wholesale in tbe Plilladelpliia 

 markets at $6.00 per 100; Dorothy Gordon has RKGULARLT 



brouBht us $9.00 per 100. In addition, Dorothy Gordon 

 produces easily one-third more floveers, or an additional 

 $8.00— Kivlna: a return of $12.00 from the same areenhouse 

 space that ^vould be reauired to arow $6.00 worth of 

 Enchantress. 



We are selling strong, rooted cuttings at tlO.OO per 100, or $76.00 

 per 1000. 



We are ready to demonstrate to you that you can grow Dorothy 

 Got don with greater profit than any other commercial carnation. We 

 invite you to come to Wyncote and see it growing in our houses; if 

 you cannot do this, write for full particulars— we'll furnish some 

 carnation facta that will interest you.

The Market 



Business since the holidays has been 

 heavy, especially in funeral work. There 

 have been several funerals lately that 

 called for quantities of flowers, both de- 

 signs and sprays. Eoses are of fine qual- 

 ity, but they are cleaned up from day 

 to day and there has been no surplus up 

 to this time. Carnations are fine and 

 coming in quantities, but the demand for 

 them is heavy and they are cleaned up 

 right along. Enchantress seems to be 

 more in evidence than any other variety 

 and they are doing fine. Most of the 

 growers can grow this variety a little 

 more successfully than some of the 

 others. Victory and White Perfection 

 are doing excellently. Beacon, while not 

 grown in quantities, is showing up in 

 good form. The stems are longer than 

 last year and much heavier, and it prom- 

 ises well to be grown in quantities next 

 season. 



Violets are in good demand and there 

 is seldom any surplus. Paper Whites 

 are coming in large quantities and the 

 demand for them is heavy. Valley moves 

 nicely at this time, as there has been 

 quite a number of weddings. Pot plants 

 have been selling well since the holidays 

 and cylamen, azaleas and ferns seem to 

 be the leaders. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club is figuring on giv- 

 ing a masquerade ball about Valentine's 

 day and no doubt there will be some 

 seedy looking florists in evidence that 

 night. The club held a meeting Tues- 

 day night, January 11, and the reports 

 of the dances have been satisfactory to 

 the club. 



G. Drobisch reports business as being 

 good, with quite a lot of funeral work. 



The Franklin Park Floral Co. says busi- 

 ness is satisfactory. 



Will Graff reports a heavy business. 



The Munk Floral Co. says stock goes 

 out just as fast as cut and there is no 

 surplus of -anything. 



J. E. Hellenthal reports a satisfactory 

 business during the holidays and trade 

 good since then. J. M. 



Baymond, N. H. — Irvin Folsom says a 

 ten days' blockade with snow made busi- 

 ness decidedly dull while it lasted.
