CARNATION DOROTHY GORDON 



You are looking for the Tsriety tbat will show the most profit, plas 

 the sreatest satisfaction to your customers. 



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

 TicorouB and disease-free, with flowers of uniform color— a shade 

 darker than Pink Enchantress. 



It produces 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 : 



Enobaiitress sella at 'wbolesale in tbe Fhiladelpbia 

 markets at $0.00 per 100; Dorothy Gordon has RBGULiABLT 



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



produces easily one-third more flo\^ers, or an additional 



$8.00— Sflvinsr a return of $12.00 from the same areenhouse 



space that would be required to crow $0.00 worth of 



Enchantress. 



We are selling strong, rooted cuttings at $10.00 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 facts that will interest you.

The Market 



The cut flower market after the holi- 

 days is generally about normal, but the 

 last week's trade has been unusually dull 

 and with warmer weather prevailing all 

 lines have become overstocked, especially 

 so in violets. The latter part of the 

 week the ice-boxes in the commission 

 houses were filled to the uttermost ca- 

 pacity. 



Roses have been in oversupply and 

 prices have dropped accordingly. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are down to $4 per dozen 

 for the best, and other roses, such as Kil- 

 larney, Richmond, Bride and Maid, run 

 from $4 to $8 per hundred. Carnations 

 have accumulated until the best grades 

 brought only $3 per hundred, some going 

 as low as $1. Violets, for the first time 

 this winter, were a glut on the market, 

 bringing 50 cents per hundred for the 

 best, with prospects of still lower figures 

 should this weather remain. Paper White 

 narcissi have but little call when carna- 

 tions are plentiful and many found their 

 way to the waste pile. Two dollars were 

 the quotations during the week. Sweet 

 peas are not meeting with a big demand, 

 although they are of good quality. Lily 

 of the valley has become more plentiful. 

 Harrisii and callas are not too many and 

 clean out daily at $1.25 to $1.50 per 

 dozen. Green goods are not overabundant 

 and sell well. H. Schwarz. 



The Hyde Park Rose Co. has been in- 

 corporated here, with a capital of $10,- 

 000, by Gustav Meier, Albert Sunder- 

 bruch, Henry Sunnenberg, Frank Sunnen- 

 berg and Joseph Sunnenberg. 



Buffalo, N. Y. — As the result of an 

 injury to his left knee, R. A. Scott has 

 been confined to bed for a time, with his 

 leg in a plaster cast.
