Our early Mums are exceptionally good, especially the Smithes Advance* white. These are from 

 a good grower, who has made a specialty of early Mums and whose success with Golden GloW has 

 been widely noted. Smith's Advance is a revelation in early white mums. Now cutting heavily in 

 both colors. 



Can furnUh stock plants of the Smith's Advance to Krowers, immediate or later delivery, at 40e each; $4JS0 per doE.; $36.00 per 100.

addition to Killamey and White Kil- 

 lamey, which, with Eichmond, are the 

 staples, Maryland is available in quan- 

 tity and there are growers who are spe- 

 cializing on Mrs. Jardine, Mrs. Field, 

 Prince de Bulgarie, Mrs. Aaron Ward, 

 Bhea Eeid, Double Pink Killamey, 

 Deep Pink Killamey and Uncle John. 

 Lesser quantities of Melody, Perle, 

 Kaiserin, Sunrise and Ivory are seen. 

 A few growers still retain Bride and 

 Bridesmaid, and of these, fine flowers 

 still are available, though in nothing 

 like the quantity of the Killameys. 



The wholesalers have been at their 

 wit 's end to merchandise the carnations 

 at prices that would give the growers 

 a respectable average. There are some 

 first-class carnations that are bringing 

 fair money, but the quantities of short- 

 stemmed stock have been beyond any 

 possibility of cleaning up through legit- 

 imate channels. Excellent chrysanthe- 

 mums are to be had. The three prin- 

 cipal varieties are Golden Glow in yel- 

 low, and October Frost and Smith 's Ad- 

 vance in white. Never before have 

 there been so many white mums in 

 September. Considering the quality, 

 prices on mums are lower than last 

 year. 



There continue to be spasmodic ship- 

 ments of gladioli, but the asters have 

 been finished off. Easter lilies are not 

 quite 80 abundant and prices are a 

 trifle firmer. There is plenty of valley. 

 Cattleyas are so abundant that prices 

 have fallen to the point where the re- 

 tailers are using them for window dis- 

 ;play. Violets are now in daily receipt, 

 'but weather conditions have been un- 

 favorable and they have suffered in the 



Growers, Attention! 



Why not sell your own stock? 

 We have the finest location in 

 the Chicago market and space 

 enough to accommodate sev- 

 eral growers selling their own

There have been this week some large
