It Means 

 Something to You 



When you start an order for cut flowers, it 

 certainly must be a source of satisfaction for you 

 to know that the order will be filled at the right 

 price, with promptness and care. 



That feeling of satisfaction you will soon 

 acquire if you deal with us. We have the entire 

 confidence of our trade, and we can also gain yours. 

 For reliable, uniformly good service, you can not do 

 any better. 



Open from 7 a. m. to 8 p. m.'

leave for the south shortly, to spend the 

 winter catching alligators in sunny 

 Florida. The business was purchased 

 by Buffalo people who were not con- 

 nected with the trade heretofore. With 

 the retirement of Mrs. Johnson, Buf- 

 ralo loses one of the squarest and best 

 persons ever connected with the florist 

 trade. She made many friends and I 

 can safely say, in voicing the senti- 

 ments of the local florists, that she has 

 the best wishes for success and happi- 

 ness in the new relationship and that 

 her connection with the florists will al- 

 ways be remembered as a happy one. 



Owing to the failure of the Florists' 

 Club to have a show this year, the 

 South park and Delaware park green- 

 houses have given the people the bene- 

 fit of their preparations and held a 

 show at their respective places. Many 

 fine specimens were shown in pot plants 

 and seedling pompons. R. A. S. 



FHILADELFHIA. 



The Bising Eastern Market. 



The week ending with mid-November 

 was divided into distinct halves, exact 

 opposites of each other. The first half 

 was summery, the second wintry, with 

 a terrific storm between them, Novem- 

 ber 12. That day the temperature 

 dropped an incredibly large number of 

 degrees in an exceedingly brief space 

 of time. The wind and rain that ac- 

 companied the change caused much 

 damage. The effect of the cold, despite 

 sunshine, has been to shorten the sup- 

 ply of flowers. Business improved dur- 

 ing the warm weather. Since its de- 

 parture, prices have become steadier 

 and in some instances they have ad- 

 vanced. The general tone is decidedly 

 better than one week ago. It looks as 

 though the season is opening in ear- 

 nest. - Chrysanthemums have passed 

 from the midseason to the late varie- 

 ties. Only a few of the latter have 

 yet to appear. Bonnaffon is at its 

 best. So, too, are both Chadwicks, 

 Maud Dean and Dr. Enguehard, with 

 several others named before, and some 

 of lesser note. Prices show little 

 change. Pompons are fine and plenti- 

 ful, but hardly buoyant. Yellow and 



PRINCETON 



We will have a large supply of this beautiful new glowing pink rose, 

 unique in its color, admired by everyone who sees it. 



PRINCETON proved the greatest novelty rose last season, attracting 

 admiration wherever seen. 



May we have your regular or special orders for PRINCETON during 

 the coming season ? 



FANCY NUNS 



A splendid stock of the best mid-season and late varieties at lowest 

 market prices. We can fill your order by the dozen, by the hundred, or 

 by the opportunity; may we have the opportunity ? 



All the BEST CUT FLOWERS in the market.

white are best. Pink often lags. 

 Beauty is the only rose to rank with 

 the autumn queen. Fancy Beauties 

 have advanced in price. So have pink 

 roses of first quality, for well colored 

 pink of any variety is in demand. 

 Choice carnations are firmer. Here, too, 

 the gulf between fancy and ordinary 

 is widening. Bouvardia is more abun- 

 dant, chiefly in pink and red. Lavender 

 has been added to pink and white in 

 sweet peas. Cattleyas have gone up, 

 while dendrobiums, cypripediums, van- 

 das and oncidiums can all be had in 

 numbers. Lilies and callas are on the 

 back track. Violets, though reinforced 

 from the Hudson river, are as scarce 

 and active as a week ago. Valley is 

 brisk; gardenias ditto, and a few greens 

 in more favor than for some time past. 

 The prospect for Thanksgiving is 

 thought to be excellent. 



Bevival of the Corsage. 



Charles Henry Fox is devoting his 

 window this week to suggestions for 

 corsage bouquets for the theater. The 

 idea is brought out by pictures from 

 "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," 

 now running at one of the theaters. 

 Pine trees form the background. Pine 

 cones, too, are there, with the daintiest 

 of corsage bunches: violets and gar- 

 denias for the theater and orchids and 

 valley for box parties. Then, too, there 

 is a violet special; also violet delivery 

 boxes to enhance the beauty of the 

 flowers, a rich effect. 



The Cabinet. 



President Thilow has selected his 

 official family: David Bust, secretary 

 of state; George Craig, secretary of the 

 treasury; Frederick Hahman, secretary 

 of the interior; Robert Craig, secretary
