is improving the quality of roses, also 

 reducing their numbers, but they are 

 still overabundant. Bussell is, of course, 

 head and shoulders over all others as a 

 favorite. Cardinal is taking well, and 

 one or two growers find Killarney Queen 

 a good seller. Sunburst, Hillingdon 

 and "Ward sell well as yellows. Killar- 

 neys in variety are unusually fine for 

 so early in the season. 



Carnations are in big supply, but 

 prices show a little advance. They will 

 not come into their own, however, for 

 a few weeks yet. Violets, both single 

 and double, are abundant and 50 cents 

 per hundred is top-notch price. Cosmos 

 from outdoors is over, but some good 

 indoor stock is arriving. Valley is 

 abundant and good, as are lilies. A few 

 callas only have appeared. Plenty of 

 cattleyas, cypripediums, oncidiums and 

 Dendrobium Phalienopsis are coming in, 

 with only a fair demand. Green stock 

 of all kinds is selling better. 



November 2 saw a good market. The 

 Harvard-Princeton football game cre- 

 ated a lively demand for a few 

 specialties. 



Various Notes. 



,..! 



There is a good entry list for the 

 annual chrysanthemum show, opening 

 November 7. The season is an early 

 one and many blooms could not be held 

 for it. Neither big specimen blooms 

 nor plants are favored here as they 

 were a dozen years ago, but while chrys- 

 anthemum interest has declined, other 

 seasonable flowers have advanced in 

 favor. 



October proved a warm month; only 

 two corresponding months since 1870 



The M£Y£R Green 



SILKALINE 



Used by Retail Florists for mossing funeral 

 designs, tying bimches, etc., is 



THE ONLY ARTICLE THAT SHOULD BE USED 



by Qrowers for stringing Smilax and Asparagus, as 

 it will not fade or rot in the greenhouse. The M«y«r 

 Sllkalln* was the first green thread to be introduced 

 among Florists and Growers. It is bandied by the 

 best houses everywhere, but it should be ordered by 

 name— M«y«r'» Silkaline— to be sure of getting the 

 genuine article. Do not accept substitutes. 



If your jobber cannot supply you, order direct of 

 the manufacturers. Price for any size or color, $1.25 

 per lb. Sizes "F" fine, "FF" medium, and "FFF" coarse.

have been so warm. The rainfall was 

 only a little over an inch and we now 

 have an accumulated deficiency for the 

 year of 9.41 inches. The maximum 

 temperature was 86 degrees and the 

 minimum 36 degrees, the mean being 

 56.5 degrees. 



The carnation houses of Littlefield 

 & Wyman look remarkably well at 

 present. White Wonder, Pink Delight, 

 White Enchantress and Beacon are par- 

 ticularly fine. They also have some 

 excellent seedlings.
