FALL NOVELTIES 



We have a wonderful' collection of fine novelties for the coming season; we shall tell you about 

 them as they come into our warehouse. 



One of the very best now here is our Ncw EmboSSed Crepe Paper, which is a big 

 improvement on the old style; the patterns are original and pleasing; the paper needs no smoothing; it 

 looks well the moment it is put in place. 



MIetal Baskets are the daintiest little handle baskets you ever saw; they are favors or keep- 

 sakes, you will like them. 



Prepared Ferns in great variety of colors. Splendid for decorative effects where something 

 durable and pretty is required. Very many of these ferns are novelties. 



Write for our illustrated Catalogue of everything in Florists' Supplies.

Arthur Zirkman was in a hold-up 

 near Ogden, Utah, some time ago. The 

 desperados looted the express car and 

 went through the passengers in the day 

 coach, but, luckily, did not attempt the 

 Pullman, where Mr. Zirkman was 

 asleep. None of the passengers was 

 injured, but a brakeman was badly hurt. 

 One poor woman had all her money 

 taken; this the passengers generously 

 replaced. Phil. 



HAMMONTON, N. J. 



The Association of Hammonton 

 Dahlia Growers was organized Monday 

 evening, August 29, and elected William 

 F. Bassett president, C. A. Wood vice- 

 president and Edw. II. White secretary. 



The commercial growers of Hammon- 

 ton, realizing that some of the best 

 dahlia blooms in the Philadelphia mar- 

 ket were grown in Hammonton and 

 vicinity, decided to organize for the 

 purpose of further advertising Ham- 

 monton grown dahlias, securing better 

 transportation facilities, improved 

 methods of cultivation, etc. They 

 have adopted a uniform copyrighted 

 label, which will be attached to all 

 shipments. 



NEWBUEOH, N. Y. 



Dr. Wesley W'ait returned from 

 Rochester well pleased with the interest 

 his exhibit created at the convention. 

 Plans are under way for forming a 

 stock company to handle the business, 

 which is already pushing the doctor 

 hard. 



Caldwell & .Tesperson have completed 

 the j^etty store fronting their plant

 stock is in elegant shape.

bined. The demand for this firm's cut 

 flowers and plants is increasing and tlie 

 shipping facilities are of the best. Tho 

 soil is a gravelly loam, in which trees, 

 shrubs and plants make strong, fibroas 

 roots. Space has been set apart for 

 seed trials. 



George Chadburn, of the Schaefer 

 Co., is an artist in song as well as flow- 

 ers. One of his favorites is "A Garden 

 of Roses," which always makes a hit 

 with his audience and is quite an ad it 

 the same time. M. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



There is little to add to last week's 

 report of the market. It is simply 

 marking time and the wholesalers say 

 it will do little else until October. For- 

 tunately, shipments of roses and carna- 

 tions are light, but it takes much in- 

 genuity to dispose of the flood of asters 

 and the great sufficiency of gladioli, 

 tritomas, dahlias and hydrangeas. The' 

 late rains have been of great service 

 and there is no danger of a scant sup- 

 ply of anything. 



A few chrysanthemums are seen, har- 

 bingers of a tremendous flood in the 

 near future, for everybody is growing 



them around New York. Beauties sel- 

 dom touch 20 cents, except for the best, 

 and only ten per cent of the arrivals 

 reach that value. Killarney is fast ap- 

 proaching perfection again, but the 

 stems arc short and few go above 4 

 cents, the average being under $10 per 

 thousand. The retail windows show 

 some fine sprays of orchids. Gardenias 

 are here again and their price is rising. 

 The best valley does not go above 3 

 cents and lilies have fallen again to 

 6 cents and under. There is no limit 

 to the aster shipments. They come from 

 Rochester in great quantities. The mar- 

 ket cannot digest them all. Vast quan- 

 tities of small and inferior stock go 

 into the discard, but the best asters 

 command a good price and meet with 

 a ready sale. Few have gone above 

 $2 per hundred, however. From now 

 on dahlias will increase daily. 



The fern, evergreen, wild smilax and 

 moss men do not complain. All of 

 them, including the supply houses, are 

 busy preparing for the coming season 

 and seemingly expectant of success. 

 P'very day brings us nearer to 

 the upward swing of the market. 

 New York is ready for the increase in 

 demand, the inevitable result of a 

 growth in population that totals close 

 to five millions.
