We Want You to Try Our Beauties 



We know there are no better Beauties coming into this market and we have a large supply— larger 

 than at any previous time this summer. We want especially to hear from regular buyers— we want to 

 show what we can do. Plenty of 18-inch to 24-inch stems.

many Killarneys as all other varieties 

 combined. This includes the various 

 Killarney types except Killarney Bril- 

 liant. This rose has been largely planted 

 for a novelty and is coming in nicely, 

 but the space given to it is only a small 

 fraction of the total space growers give 

 the original type of Killarney. "White 

 is not 80 heavily planted as a few years 

 ago. Mrs. Shawyer has given an ex- 

 cellent account of itself this summer. 

 Maryland still is liked by some who 

 grow summer roses, but many have 

 dropped it and given the space to Shaw- 

 yer. Sunburst is more abundant than 

 it ever has been before; the growers 

 have planted it heavily; it is more 

 abundant than Ward, but the latter will 

 come into its own as soon as the de- 

 mand for corsage work picks up. Bul- 

 garie is selling well; and there seldom 

 is an accumulation, for the public likes 

 the color. Milady will be a strong com- 

 petitor of Richmond this season, but 

 this is not the time for any special de- 

 mand for red. Hadley does not yet cut 

 any figure, though available in small 



?uantitie8. Mrs. Bussell continues in 

 avor; ever since the new crop came in 

 it has been the best selling variety on 

 the list. 



The market still is well supplied with 

 gladioli, although the receipts perhaps 

 are not quite so heavy as they were be- 

 fore the growers awakened to a thor- 

 ough realization of what the stock was 

 bringing. America continues to be 

 the best seller and it is so plentiful 

 that it leaves little chance to work off 

 the less desirable varieties. King also 

 goes well, compared to the general run 

 of stock. The aster season is on the 

 wane. Lilies continue equal to all re- 

 quirements. The call for orchids is be- 

 ginning to pick up a little, but August 

 has not given the prices usually ob- 

 tained for fine cattleyas. Valley is not 

 pressing for a market and comes nearer 

 realizing regular prices than anything 

 else on the list. Here and there a 

 bunch of short-stemmed carnations is 

 seen, the first pick indoors. A few 

 Golden Glow chrysanthemums come in, 

 but the supply is erratic and the de- 

 mand even more so. 



With cut flowers so plentiful and 

 cheap, there has been less use than

usual of green goods the last few weeks. 

 Galax and ferns have both felt the 

 effect. Various Notes. 



At Libertyville Schuman & Kohout 

 have their place all in Killarney, White 

 Killarney and Richmond roses. The 

 houses were all replanted this spring, 

 so that the summer cut has not been so 

 heavy as last year, when the stock was 

 carried over. Kyle & Foerster merchan- 

 dise the cut. 



At Zech & Mann 's F. F. Benthey says 

 Ophelia is giving a good account of it- 

 self at the New Castle establishment 

 of Benthey & Co. The true character 

 of the flower is not shown by the sum- 

 mer cut, but the color and fragrance are 

 there. 



A. L. Randall comes over from his 

 place near Benton Harbor, Mich., .to 

 spend a day at the store every week or 

 so. Merchant Randall says summer busi- 

 ness is holding up well, sales generally 

 running ahead of last year, and Far-

John Poehlmann comments that tli«? 

 Mrs. Russell rose must be much more 

 fully developed than other varieties 

 before cutting, but that this does not 

 impair its keeping quality; rather the 

 reverse, for it is proving to be a sple"' 

 did warm weather shipper.
