Four-Fold Indorsement. 



We aeaia repeat that REPEAT orders are the strongest possible indorsement of 

 any commercial article, and when it comes to four times repeating it is truly a 

 FOUR-FOLD INDORSEMENT. We have many such cases but mention one because 

 of the national reputation of the firm, Messrs. Gude Bros. Co., of Washington, D. C, 

 whose FOURTH order for 1000 •••dling plants of our Silver Pink Snapdragon 

 reached us last week. They have said that my seedling Silver Pink was the finest 

 and most productive snapdragon that they have seen, and they back it up by heavy 

 planting of same year aft«r year. 



Why take chances with loss of time and money by growing common varieties 

 when my seedling Silver Pink can be had so cheap? We are now shipping XX plants, 

 ready for the bench, at only $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 100^ Less than 100, 5c each. 

 Also new crop seed of same at $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Cultural 

 directions free. All orders positively cash. 



We specialize in snapdragons and have several good ones in colors. Garnet Gem is a rich one and is oflfered at $6.00 for 

 R. C. and $8.00 for plants. A splendid yellow, $4.00 for R. C. and $6.00 for plants. Rooted cuttings of Nelrose, $4.00, and 

 of Buxton's varia-named, $2.00. Seed of Buxton's and Nelrose, 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. The introducers of these varie- 

 ties have repeatedly said that they would not come true from seed and we offer them without recommend. Seed was care- 

 fully selected from greenhouse plants and is as good as money can buy. 



Remember, we are Snapdragon folk. We know the business and attend to it. Send your order, especially for seedlings 

 of S. P., while we have them.

The Market. 



The cool nights of the early part of 

 last week had the effect of ehortening 

 up the supply of flowers and increasing 

 the demand. Carnations are coming in 

 more plentifully and are bringing from 

 $1 to $2 per hundred, according to the 

 length of stem. Although not plenti- 

 ful, there are enough roses to meet all 

 demands, at from $2 to $8 per hundred. 

 The stock at the latter price is the 

 equal of any midwinter roses and is 

 in good demand. Dahlias are good and 

 are far more plentiful than they have 

 been. They seem to have been a little 

 more backward than usual this year and 

 there has been no glut of them up to 

 this writing. Delice is meeting vnth a 

 ready sale and bringing good prices, 

 but there is not a large supply of this 

 variety. Of chrysanthemums, October 

 Frost and October Yellow made their 

 appearance October 1 and are really 

 fine. Some indoor chrysanthemums are 

 bringing up to $2.50 per dozen and are 

 worth the money. Cosmos is another 

 addition to the market, although not in 

 large supply. It is predicted that Wash- 

 ington will see its first frost within the 

 next ten days and that it will kill off 

 the cosmos and prevent a glut. 



Various Notes. 



A large conservatory, which will cost 

 approximately $22,000, is being added 

 to the home of John R. McLean, at 1500 

 I street, northwest, after plans pre- 

 pared by John Russell Pope, a New 

 York architect. 



W. E. Leganger, representing the A. 

 L. Randall Co., Chicago, visited the 

 stores in this city last week. Mr. Le- 

 ganger reports business quite good with 

 nim and showed a newly filled order 

 book to prove his assertion. He stated 

 that the florists in the places which he 

 had visited are looking for a satisfac- 

 tory fall and winter season.

Increased stocks are being shown at 

 the Florists' Exchange, 1214 H street, 

 northwest, which was recently taken 

 over by the Leo Niesson Co., of Phila- 

 delphia, and the opening of many new 

 accounts has necessitated an enlarge- 

 ment of the icebox and storage space.

Several amateur flower shows have 

 been held in this vicinity in the last 

 week. Dahlias have been the feature 

 at all of them. At the Brookland show 

 these were prominent, as they were also 

 at the exhibition at Hyattsville, Md. 

 Wm. F. Gude assisted in the promotion 

 of the Petworth show, the first in that 

 suburb, and decorated the church in 

 which it was held. Geo. H. Cooke, C.
