From the Secretary of the National Association 



of Gardeners. 

 CoNAKD & Jones Company, 

 West Grove. Pa. 

 On a recent visit to the E. G. Hill Ck>pman7'6 

 establishment. Richmond, Indiana, I was sur- 

 prised at some of the beautiful Cannas in flower 

 there, and was informed by Mr. Hill that they 

 were some of your this year's new varieties. He 

 named them at th^t time, but I do not recall them, 

 and as I have spoken of them to superintendents 

 and gardeners of the various estates I have vis- 

 ited lately, who were interested in Oannas, all of 

 whom bad fine displays of King Humbert. I have 

 been asked by them to gret the information as to 

 the names of the flowers and advise them of the 

 same. Yours very truly.

A 



Your very kind favor of the 9th is just received, and reminds me of a most pleasant 

 morning spent with Mr. Hill on the grounds in front of their plait at Richmond, and also 

 the Sanitarium across the railroad, where many of our newer Cannas are planted, but 

 not those of most recent introduction. 



The Cannas which Mr. Hill had growing on part of his grounds were such varieties 

 as Mrs. Alfred F Conard, Gladioflora B>illiant, Buttercup. California, Gladiator, Mont 

 Blanc. Martha Washington, Venm, Chautauqua, King Humbert, Meteor, Pillar of Fire, 

 Niagara: among the Oichid llowering kinds he has New York, Uncle Sam and Wyoming, 

 if I remember correctly, and I am not sure whether he has some of the newer and splen- 

 didly large flowering kinds, like Olympic. Kate F. Deemer, Halley's Comet and Wil lam 

 Saunders, offered on page 15 of the catalogqe I am sending. 



Now if them are friends of yours who are really interested in Cannas, and you will 

 kindly send us their names, we shall be glad to send full information, with copies of our 

 catalogue. 



Very cordially yours, 



THE CONARD & JONES COMPANY.

The market is glutted, for which no 

 sii\gle line is the cause. All are re- 

 sponsible for a heavy cut of every 

 seasonable flower. The call for stock 

 is only fair and as a result considerable 

 is either sacrificed at job prices, dis- 

 posed of through street fakers, or is 

 dumped. Shipping business is good. 

 It is the local call alone that is below 

 normal* 



The receipts of roses are large, dif 

 good quality and include everything 

 from American Beauties to Sunburst, 

 also some fine Killarney, White Kil- 

 larney, Bride, Eichmond, Taft, Golden 

 Gate and Mrs. Aaron Ward. Of these 

 only the best find a fair market. The 

 shorter stemmed stock hardly sells at 

 all. Pink moves better than white and 

 short Beauties better than the longer 

 ones. 



The chrysanthemum line is complete. 

 It includes all sizes and grades of 

 white, yellow and pink. Up to date all 

 of them have been selling nicely. 



The carnation cut, too, is strong and 

 the sales large. Most of them, how- 

 ever, have been cleaned up at low 

 prices. Easter lilies are proving good 

 property in this crowded market. Lily 

 of the valley and, at times, orchids sell 

 well. Many of the former have been 

 used for work. Violets are, thus far, 

 meeting with only an ordinary demand. 

 Sweet peas, in small quantities, come 

 in regularly. 



The green goods business continues 

 steady in spit^ of the slump in the 

 market for flowers. The demand is for 

 everything from cut fern and adian- 

 tum to wild smilax. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critehell reports that this wed- 

 ding season has brought with it a good, 

 steady demand for valley and orchids. 



The South Park Floral Co., New 

 Castle, is cutting the best Beauties of 

 the season to date. 



The Bloomhurst Floral Co., Lockland, 

 is cutting an unusually choice line of 

 roses and carnations. 



Among recent callers were Frank 

 Famey, representing M. Eice & Co.; 

 Mr. Corbett, of Mt. Sterling, Ky., and 

 Mr. Thomas, of Augusta, Ky.
