WE ARE CUTTING HEAVILY OF 



ROSES, CARNATIONS and MUMS 



Can furnish good quality of American Beauties, Maryland, Jardine, Rich- 

 mond, White and Pink Killarney — none better on this market, and of a quality 

 that will suit your most critical customers. Try them and satisfy yourself on 

 this score. 



Carnations of the leading sorts, which for size of flower and length of 

 stem are far above the average seen on this market, there being none better. 



Chrysanthei^v^ms in heavy supply, of pink, white and yellow. For the 

 past week pink miims have been on the scarce side. This is also true of good 

 yellow mums. We are now able to supply these in quantities frdm the large 

 late varieties. 



Violets — fragrant, home-grown singles. These are now hardy and will travel 

 safely. Can likewise furnish Hudson river violets. Owing to the length of time 

 required for these to reach Chicago, we can only fill orders for such violets at 

 buyer's risk. all other stock in season

 ranged. This firm is doing a steadily 

 increasing trade and reports having had 

 some heavy funeral orders and excellent 

 decorations of late. 



One of the week's visitors is Geo. W. 

 Cohen, with Wertheimer Bros., New 



York. 



Adam Foster, of Woburn, is one of 

 the violet specialists whose flowers at 

 present attract special attention at 2

Glancing at the market from one 

 side, it seems to be improving, and 

 looking from another point it seems 

 just as blue as at the last report. The 

 frost has killed the competition of out- 

 door flowers, but many more green- 

 house blooms have taken their place, 

 so there is no decrease in the amount 

 of stock on hand. Stock other than 

 white seems to be in request, but does 

 not bring unusual prices. The general 

 level of prices is low for the time of 

 the year. Everyone is expecting an 

 improvement in a short time. 



Chrysanthemums have the largest 

 share of whatever demand there is for 

 flowers. In spite of the many sold, 

 they bring only fair prices. Many 

 move in job lots at buyer's offer. The 

 choice blooms do not sell as readily as 

 a week ago, while smaller ones sell a 

 little more quickly than they did at 

 that time. 



The saying that "a good rose always 

 sells" is only partly true now, for pink 



THE CUT FLOWER HOLDER 



We are shipping twice the amount this month that we did last. Here's another: 

 Dear Sir: Your Cut Flower Holder proved very successful. Send us 500 for our 

 own use and 1000 for jobbing. Yours truly, Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 



If your jobber doesn't handle them, send direct to

alone moves quickly. White and 

 American ■ Beauties seem to have little 

 charm for the buyers. 



The supply of carnations slackened 

 just about two-thirds immediately 

 after the frost and colder weather set 

 in, but even at that they were not 

 scarce, and the balance of supply and 

 demand held prices at a normal point. 

 Beports from some of the growers state 

 that by the time this paper reaches 

 the readers they will again have quan- 

 tities to offer. 



Other stock is plentiful, but finds 

 slow sale. Longiflorum lilies seem to 

 have been hit hardest by the influx of 

 chrysanthemums, which has coaxed 

 away a large part of the demand for 

 lilies. Lily of the valley is plentiful, 

 but sells slowly. Both single and 

 double violets are now good in quality, 

 and, although they sold slowly the 

 early part of last week, later they 

 seemed to move nicely. 



A sufficiency of nearly all kinds of 

 green goods is on hand. 



The florist stands in the Jabez Elliott 

 Flower Market looked as though they 

 had been prepared for chrysanthemum 

 show purposes during the early part of 

 the afternoon of October 29. Closing 

 time found all pretty well sold out.

The Bowling Club will meet Mon-

 Judging from the enthusiasm displayed 

 among the florists, it is safe to predict 

 that a larger number will be on hand ta 

 bowl than at the previous meeting. 



C. E. Critchell has been finding a 

 large out-of-town demand for ferns and
