Prior to last Thursday we were treated 

 to typical fall weather, with cold nights, 

 which kept the market in a wholesome 

 condition. This was followed by a warm 

 spell, lasting over Sunday, which brought 

 on stock in a rush; but the demand being 

 equal, there was no cause for complaint. 

 Roses were very plentiful, likewise Amer- 

 ican Beauties, which are of high grade 

 now. Valley, violets, snapdragons and 

 mums all moved well. The carnation is 

 still holding its own, for there has been 

 no oversupply as yet. Eeports are that 

 shipping trade continues brisk. 



Flower Show. 



With most of the florists the coming 

 fall flower show, which opens Thursday, 

 November 11, is the topic of conversa- 

 tion, and after all that has been said 

 and done thus far, it ought to be a suc- 

 cess, and no doubt will be, if the weather 

 is favorable and the retail florists co- 

 operate. Premiums for the various classes 

 will be awarded as follows: Thursday, 

 November 11 — Mums, both cut and pot 

 plants; also orchids, palms, ferns, mis- 

 cellaneous flowering and other plants and 

 miscellaneous cut blooms and cut flowers. 

 Friday, November 12 — Carnations. Sat- 

 urday, November 13 — Roses. Table dec- 

 orations to be exhibited and judged No- 

 vember 12, 13 and 14. Entries, up to 

 time of writing, have come in very satis- 

 factorily.

SEEING IS BELIEVING 



Therefore we aek everyone intereeted in Carnations to come and see 

 our new white Carnation Shasta growing. Plants benched early in 

 August are in full crop now, carrying from 10 to 20 buds per plant. 

 Have been cutting good blooms since Sept. 15. As a money making 

 carnation it has no equal. The quality is right, too. Scored 85 points 

 at Indianapolis, April 11, 1908; 85 points, Indianapolis, Jan. 12, 

 1909; 89 points, A. C. S., at Indianapolis, January 27-28, 1909. 

 Traveled to Boston, Mass., in Feb., 1909, and scored 87 points; 89 

 points at Springfield, 111., in March, 1909. Never scored less than 85 

 points. You can see it growing at either Indianapolis or Tewksbury. 

 We are bookliiB orders no^v for January 

 delivery, at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000
