WE HAVE FOR THIS WEEK 



A Large Crop of Fancy Beauties 



With our hig range of nevir houses we are cutting a larg^e quantity of fine stock and are in position to make a 

 strong bid for the patronage of out-of-town buyers who want good stock at "live and let live prices." 



RICHMOND KILLARNEYS

We shall have a good supply of CARNATIONS all through the season. A full line of all other Cat Flowers and Greea Goods.

there are fair cuts of Bride with those 

 growers who still have this variety and 

 it is selling rather better than either 

 White Killarney. or Kaiserin. Rich- 

 mond is in good crop and the stock 

 is of excellent quality, but the demand 

 is not strong. The bjiyCTSy like Mrs. 

 Aaron Ward and Pyi^ce de Bulgarie. 

 Of these more could ne sold. There are

Carnations are coming in more numer- 

 ously than heretofore. Considerable 

 quantities are being picked from the 

 plants in the field and an increasing 

 number of growers are picking from the 

 new plants in the houses. The weather 

 has been so favorable that the out- 

 door stock is excellent of its kind and 

 the pick from the houses is first-class 

 for so early in the season. All colors 

 now are available with good length of 

 stem. The sale is not brisk and will 

 not be until the aster crop is disposed 

 of. 



In the last week or two there has 

 been a brisk demand for the better 

 grade of Golden Glow chrysanthemums 

 and now a few white mums are appear- 

 ing, the variety being Smith's Advance. 

 The growers have been so put to it to 

 supply the yellow that they have been 

 cutting before the flowers were finished. 

 At the same time there has been low 



grade Golden Glow which it has been 

 almost impossible to sell. Those who 

 want early mums want them good. 



Gladioli still are available in all 

 colors, but they have been relegated to 

 a place of minor importance. A few 

 dahlias are coming, but this flower 

 never has had much importance in this 

 market. Tuberoses are not in heavy 

 supply, but are selling well enough so 

 that the price has advanced slightly. 

 There is rather more valley than the 

 present demand calls for. Orchids have 

 been in strong request, but now labiata 

 is beginning to come in considerable 

 quantity and heavy supplies with 

 moderate prices are predicted for no 

 distant day. Oncidiums already are 

 abundant. 



There is no change in green goods, 

 though smilax is a little firmer in 

 price, as the autumn demand is begin- 

 ning to make itself felt. Orders for 

 wild smilax are beginninig to come in, 

 but this article is not yet carried in 

 stock. 



Club Meeting. 



There was a large attendance at the 

 meeting September 7 and much en- 

 thusiasm over the acceptance, by the 

 S. A. F., of the Florists' Club's invita- 

 tion to hold the 1912 convention in 

 Chicago. George Asmus reported on

The Rice chemical process of

 derful ever produced -before. Not a
