BUDDLEIA ASIATICA 



A New Winter Cut Flower Plant 



This new Greenhouse Shrub is without a doubt one of the most Interesting and attractive 

 riowering plants in existence. It is of exceptional beauty, and wherever exhibited has been greatly 

 admired by every flower-lover. It grows about 3 feet tall, is of free branchiny habit and produces, 

 in abundance, long spikes of pure white flowers, with a delicate fragrance, resembling lilac. They 

 can be forced with little heat, a carnation house temperature being the most suitable, and can be 

 brought into bloom by Christmas; used in combination with poinsettias. they are especially effect- 

 ive ; valuable as a pot plant or for cut flowers. We predict a big sale for this novelty, and every 

 progressive florist should try at least a few. 



>tron{r plants In 2^^-inch pots, $2.00 per dozen ; per 100, $15.00. Extra large specimen 

 plants In 6*incli pots, 60c each ; per dozen, $5.00.

The Market. 



With the cooler weather and th. 

 opening of the schools, causing a gen. 

 eral return to town from seashore and 

 country-side, there has been a notice- 

 able improvement in the local trade dur- 

 ing the last week. The annual Septem- 

 ber show of the horticultural society 

 and one or two early society weddings 

 assisted in the business stimulation. 



Roses and asters continue to furnish 

 the principal market supply, but there 

 are some carnations and chrysanthe- 

 mums. Prices have stiffened slightly 

 since the beginning of the month.
