The great Peerless Leader 

 of ALL Carnations 



4 



More profits from Peerless than any other. Seven and one-half blooms per pl^nt, .October 1 to Jantffi,ry 1, at average 

 of 3c equals 22^20 per plant— l^Hjc more than the cost of the plaats, which is $U)0i)O per 1000. We allow you to try the 

 variety and pay for it January 1. Enchantress will not average more than three blooms per plant during the same time. 



Why grow varieties that do not pay you good profits? You cannot make a mistake. We guarantee Peerless to be all 

 we claim for it or it will not cost you anything. Clean, healthy plants, $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.

The Market. 



Business in general is still stagnant 

 and outside of funeral work little is 

 being done by the local trade. A few 

 new carnations are being seen on the 

 market at this time and the quality of 

 the stock is good. The old crop is en- 

 tirely gone and the trade is turning to 

 asters to fill the vacancy. 



Asters are not so plentiful as they 

 have been for the last week or so. The 

 quality is. as^ good as can be expected, 

 owing to the lack of rain. The weather 

 has been fair for a number of weeks 

 now, with only an occasional shower to 

 lay the dust. 



The supply of roses is shortening up 

 to some extent, although the cut is 

 still greater than the demand. The only 

 thing that is noticeable is that the large 

 surplus of this stock is beginning to 

 shrink. The demand for Mrs. Charles 

 Bussell and Pink Killarney is heavier 

 than that for any other variety, al- 

 though the other roses are selling well. 



Gladioli are still selling fairly well. 

 As some of the stock is not up to stand- 

 ard, the prices are low and the average 

 is not what it should be. The supply of 

 American Beauties seems to be increas- 

 ing slightly. The quality is good, but 

 the sales are not at all heavy on 'this 

 stock. 



Lilies are in good supply and the 

 stock is of fine quality. Valley is also 

 good, but the sales on both of these are 

 extremely light. Some fine rubrum lilies 

 are coming in, but are not moving as 

 well as they should. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Edith Webster has resigned her 

 position with J. M. Fox & Son, on ac- 

 count of ill health. Miss Webster has 

 been with this firm for some time and 

 she leaves many friends among the 

 florists, who will miss her. 



Albert Hare, with the Holton & Hun- 

 kel Co., left Saturday, August 8, for a 

 two weeks' vacation. He is taking an 

 automobile trip through the state and 

 at present is at Eagle River, Wis., where 

 it is his intention to catch some fish if 

 they only bite. 



The friends of Nic Zweifal, who left 

 aome tinie.sgo to spend four^raonths \n 

 Enrop«, are wondering if it will be pos- 



Our Caroation Plants are worth all we ask. 

 First-class plants have their price.

 When last heard from, Mr. Zweifel, with 

 his wife and daughter, was in Switzer- 

 land, and although that country is still 

 neutral, it is a question whether it will 

 maintain its neutrality long. Mr, Zwei- 

 fel has left his business in the hands of 

 Li. B. Thorpe, who will use his best efforts
