SHEEP MANURE 



■ -A 



There la a reason why Wiswrd Brand Sheep Manure is more exten- 

 sively used by Florists than any other:— Best for Carnations and Chrys- 

 anthemums — Best (or making bench soil— liquid manuring — and field 

 work. Ask (or our Orowers' Booklet and know why Wizard Brand leads.

SCRANTON, PA. 



The Market. 



Hallowe'en brought a demand for 

 yellow chrysanthemums which made 

 trade quite lively. The festivities of 

 Hallowe'en appear to be on the in- 

 crease, especially in this section. We 

 have a great mixed population in this 

 neck of the woods and many of the 

 people manifest a great deal of interest 

 in the mystical ideas connected with 

 Hallowe'en. Many of the store win- 

 dows have been decorated with pump- 

 kins, cornstalks and yellow mums, the 

 florists falling in line, and some of 

 their windows have been nicely deco- 

 rated. It is well for the florists to put 

 some energy into this, as it quickens the 

 demand for yellow flowers, particularly 

 mums. 



Various Notes. 



Last week Scranton was favored by 

 a visit from Alonzo J. Bryan, of Wash- 

 ington, N. J. When he left town he 

 was in high glee over the number of 

 orders he had received in this section 

 for his specialties. 



J. M. Bayersdorfer, of Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., Philadelphia, has been here, 

 showing his Christmas novelties and 

 other wares. 



Mrs. J. L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg, 

 called on some of the stores in this 

 vicinity last week, and she informed 

 the writer that the Dillons have abided 

 another rose house, 30x250, to their 

 already extensive plant. The Dillon 

 greenhouses are being consolidated; 

 heretofore they have been in two sepa- 

 rate plants, about half a mile apart, but 

 the Bloomsburg State Normal School 

 has bought the land upon which the 

 original plant was situated. The mov- 

 ing of these houses over to the new 

 plant will give the Dillons one of the 

 best plants in the country. They grow 

 roses, carnations and chrysanthemums 

 f(wr cut flowers, besides roses, carnations 

 and verbenas for spring plants. William 

 Ahlers, who for two years has been the 

 rose grower for the Dillons, has bought 

 the establishment of the Bloomsburg 

 Floral Co. and remodeled it into a most 

 complete plant. Mr. Ahlers is an ex- 

 pert along the rose growing line. 



A representative of Krauss & Co., of 

 New York, has been here with a 'Com- 

 plete line of baskets and willow ware.
