CARNATIONS 



We have the following varieties ready for delivery. Fine 

 strong cuttings, well rooted and in perfect health. 



In making up your list of varieties to grow next season, 

 do not fail to include our two leaders. St. Nicholas is prov- 

 ing itself the best all-season scarlet. It will cover the whole 

 season. Pocahontas is the only crimson that will grade 

 up with the best standard sorts. If you grow any crimson, 

 grow Pocahontas.

The Market. 



With two warm spells last week, re- 

 ceipts in most lines were increased con- 

 siderably, but the average business done 

 was equal to the occasion and nothing 

 went to waste. The supply of sweet 

 peas has increased wonderfully and the 

 quality also has improved; some of the 

 stock seen is as fine as ever came to 

 this market. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Burmeister, of Tippecanoe, is 

 cutting large quantities of extra fine 

 sweet peas in three shades. They are 

 quickly disposed of at the local whole- 

 sale houses. 



Nic Zweifel has several benches of 

 Gloriosa carnations from which he is 

 propagating only. He thinks it is a 

 good thing and, judging from the or- 

 ders he receives for it, others seem to 

 think likewise. 



Manke Bros.' carnation range at 

 North Milwaukee will soon be one mass 

 of blooms. They regret not having had 

 them about four weeks sooner. 



Preparations for the carnation exhibi- 

 tion to be held in connection with the 

 regular monthly meeting, February 6, 

 are well under way and the show will 

 undoubtedly be of unusual interest. 

 Several out-of-town carnation specialists 

 have consented to display seedlings and 

 some of the newer varieties, but we 

 should like to hear from a few more. 

 If you have nothing new, a vase of 

 twenty-five of any of the commercial 

 varieties will be welcome. This exhibi- 

 tion is open to all. The committee in 

 charge consists of A. F. Kellner, C. C. 

 Pollworth and Gustav Pohl. All ex- 

 hibits from out of town should be ad- 

 dressed to the Milwaukee Florists ' Club, 

 care of C. C. PoUworth Co., City Hall 

 Square, Milwaukee, Wis. E. O. 



Conrad, Ind. — L. N. T. Whittin and 

 K. A. Whittin, who did business here 

 as the Mansion House Gardens, are 

 removing to Eoselawn, Ind., where they 

 will have much better facilities, espe- 

 cially for the growing of asters, which 

 they intend to make a leader. 



EW LOBELIA 



MRS. AUQ. SWANSON 



It Is a eport from Bedding Queen, which 

 we found among our plants In 1911. It Is a 

 wonderful Improvement on the old variety, 

 having two-thirds more while In center than 

 any otlier Lobelia we have ever seen. The 

 large white eye Is a beautiful contrast to the 

 deep blue of tlie balance of the flower. A 

 plant in full bloom is simply irresistible to 

 any lover of flowers. It Is the best selling 

 plant any florist could handle the coming 

 spring, as it Is the showiest plant for the 

 Oarden, Park, Cemetery or Flower Box and 

 Vases. It win be a money-maker and cus- 

 tomer-brlnger par excellence for the florists. 

 Price of large October soil rooted cuttings, 

 very bushy, 75c per dozen; $6.U0 per llO; 

 $50.00 per 1000. Delivered free of charge/
