OUR SUCCESSFUL BATTLE 



We have been waging a fierce battle all over Europe to capture the goods you 

 want for your fall and winter work. We have spared no expense in cabling, and we 

 have our own Philadelphia representative in Germany now.' The result is that we 

 shall have goods for you. Not at the old prices, that is impossible in these war tlm^, 

 but at prices as moderate as we can make them. Better order eaely-T%Bt come, first 

 served. : '-*•

The Market, 



It is pleasing to be able to report 

 some improvement in business. We had 

 a spell of remarkably cold weather, 

 with frosts in many places, and the 

 crops of asters and gladioli are daily 

 growing smaller. Prices show a little 

 advance all around and the outlook is 

 distinctly brighter. Roses, which have 

 been a veritable glut, have shortened 

 up materially, owing to the cold 

 weather, and prices September 12 aver- 

 aged 200 per cent better than a week 

 previous. Good White Killarney is 

 scarce, but there is a good supply of 

 Russell, Mock, Sunburst, Taft, Ward 

 and Killarney. With the exception of 

 one or two days. Double White Killar- 

 'ney sold consistently well all through 

 the slump period. Killarney Brilliant is

not yet selling specially well, while most 

 of the Hadleys are soraewha,t small. 



Carnations are a little more abund- 

 ant, but as yet are small and they are 

 hardly wanted when superb asters in 

 quantity are procurable. The top price 

 on asters is 50 cents per hundred, a low 

 figure for grand flowers. Gladioli are 

 smaller and poorer, with prices higher. 

 Growers of these have had a bad season 

 and are discouraged. Bachelor's but- 

 tons still sell fairly well. Valley is in- 

 clined to sell higher. We shall have 

 to face a valley famine in the near 

 future if no imports are possible. Lilies 

 are abundant, good and move better. 

 Some yellow marguerites are seen, quite 

 small as yet. Salpiglossis is a popular 

 annual this season. Dahlias never cut 

 much figure here. Strange to say, some 

 growers' crops already are frozen. 



There is a complete dearth of cat- 

 tleyas. September 12 a prominent re- 

 tailer could not get a flower from any 

 local trade growers. The labiata crop 

 soon will be in, however. A small num- 

 ber of gardenias arc seen. Pot plant 

 trade is excessively dull. The growers 

 report few sales, but I look for an im- 

 provement soon. About all have given 

 up hope of receiving any azaleas this 

 season.

the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety, September 12 and 13, was some- 

 what smaller than usual, but the quality 

 of the flowers was excellent. It wa? 

 noted that the peony-flowered, cactus 

 and decorative typed seem to attract 

 the public the most, but singles are 

 gaining in favor. These, cut with long 

 stems, were in some cases remarkably 

 fine, and it is surprising to see so fev a^ 

 local florists' stores.

 prize-winners were Fottler, Fiske, Eav
