Peerless Pink 



The great Peerless Leader 

 of ALL Carnations 



More profits from Peerless than any other. Seven and one-half blooms per plant, October 1 to January 1, at aver:!;ie 

 of 3c equals 22M2C per plant— 124c more than the cost of the plants, which is $100.00 per 1000. We allow you to try itie 

 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 dl 

 we claim for it or it will not cost you anything. Clean, healthy plants, $18.00 per 100, $100.00 per lOQO.

The Market. 



Business has been good for this 

 time of the year. The greater part, of 

 course, has been funeral work. The 

 market is well supplied with good 

 stock, but remains nicely cleaned up 

 of all first-class stock. Boses are of 

 good quality — good stems, foliage and 

 color. Asters have been good and 

 appear to be more popular than in past 

 years, no doubt because more choice 

 varieties are available. 



The first dahlias have made their ap- 

 pearance and all indications point to 

 a good supply of this flower. Last fall 

 was the first time that really good 

 dahlias were available in this mar- 

 ket; that is, the supply could be de- 

 pended upon and orders accepted ac- 

 cordingly. The local growers who 

 cleaned all the foliage and buds off the 

 stem, leaving only the one bloom, find 

 their stock gives the best satisfaction 

 in regard to keeping. Many excellent 

 gladioli are on the market, especially 

 America, which is more popular than 

 ever before. Many poor spikes are 

 also seen, but do not meet with a ready 

 sale. Lilies are plentiful and selling 

 readily. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Breitmeyer was expected to 

 return from Europe August 31. Frank 

 Danser, also of John Breitmeyer 's 

 Sons, is still in Europe. Word was re- 

 ceived from him from Germany about 

 a week ago, saying he was well, but 

 could not state when he could return. 



Norman Sullivan was badly de- 

 ceived by a man of about 35 years of 

 age who gave his name as Ben Sangen- 

 eamp, of St. Louis. He was a rather 

 heavy-set man, and appeared to know 

 the retail end of the florists' business 

 well, claiming that he had formerly 

 been in the employ of Frey & Frey, 

 of Lincoln, Neb. Mr. Sullivan needed 

 the services of such a man, and as 

 trade was quite dull, left the store in 

 his charge over Sunday, returning Mon- 

 day morning to find Mr. Sangencamp 

 had decamped with all the money in 

 the store, about $25 to $30. It appears 

 that he was in the store Sunday until 

 about 3 p. m., when he locked up and 

 left for parts unknown. Any informa- 

 tion leading to his arrest will be great- 

 ly appreciated by Mr. Sullivan.
