TlM Market. 



Quite a change has come over the 

 market since last report. Almost con- 

 tinuously clear, skies have resulted in 

 a veritable avalanche of flowers, far 

 more than can be sold at profitable 

 rates, and prices have taken a tumble 

 a]X around. Eoses are in abundant sup- 

 ply and the quality leaves nothing to 

 be desired. Prices have dropped, but 

 there has been a good demand for the 

 better grades. Mrs. Aaron "Ward and 

 Lady Hillingdon are still much in fa- 

 vor. White and Pink Killarney con- 

 tinue the leaders in these colors. 

 American Beauties now are extra good. 

 Carnations a,r6 arriving in increasing 

 numbers and some low prices have 

 lately been recorded, as low as 25 cents 

 per hundred in some cases. Extra fine 

 stock has made $1.50 to $2 per hun- 

 dred. 



Chrysanthemums are now the pre- 

 dominant flower and are not making 

 satisfactory prices. While some select 

 make $1.50 to $2 per dozen, others sell 

 as low as $3 per hundred. Compared 

 with prices realized for early blooms, 

 these must be unprofitable. Ivory is 

 seen in quantity and quite a few Bon- 

 naffon are in. "Violets average lower; 

 300 for a dollar has been the rate for 

 many, some extras making 50 to 60 

 cents per hundred. Sweet peas remain 

 about the same. There is a good sup- 

 ply of valley. Lilies axe npt in demand. 

 A few Paper Whiter-^aflnssi have ap- 

 peared, to start the bulb season. Out- 

 door flowers were quite cleaned out by 

 a severe frost Octpber 28. 



Cattleyas continue overabundant and 

 oncidiums are plentiful, as are cypri- 

 pediums. Bouvardia is seen of good 

 quality and is in demand. Yellow mar- 

 guerites sell well. Gardenias are seen 

 in small quantities. ' Prices on aspara- 

 gus show no change, but adiantum has 

 sold a little better. There is a little 

 more activity in pot plant trade. Chrys- 

 anthemums, Lorraine begonias, ericas^ 

 cyclamens and berried subjects are 

 chiefly in evidence, also quantities of 

 crotons. 



Flower Market Dinner. 



The annual meeting and dinner of 

 tHe Boston Flower Exchange, Inc., took 

 place at Young's Hotel October 28. 

 Over 100 members and invited guests 

 were present. The menu served was 

 excellent and all did full justice to it. 

 Wm. C. Stickel, president of the corpo- 

 ration, made an efficient and witty 

 toastmaster for the business session

 Lines of Trade 



Consider the Motor-Wagon as a producer of new business. 



Consider it from the standpoint of quicker, more efficient delivery service 

 to your ^ustomera. . - 



Recall the number of times you cou|d have had an order and donbtleas a per- 

 manent customer— if ymi could nave started the goods on the way immediately. 



Consider the fact wat the Motor- Wagon can cover more ground than the 

 best horse or two you can buy, and still be available for quick dashes here and 

 there when occasion demands. 



"The automobile enables a store to reach that much farther for the orders 

 that it is willing to go after and deliver," says the Inland Storekeeper. 



"It nu^es speed possible in the filling of orders. It does more workthao 

 a horse, «r probably two horses can do, and it does it all in so much qmcker 

 time that the increased rapidity is of itself a valuable trade producer." 



The Motor- Wagon is just such a dar as vou have been waiting for— cheap 

 in its first cost, cheap to run and keep, and built to. withstand the severest sort 

 of delivery service. 



It is really a wagon that cjm be loaded and driven and cared for with very 

 little trouble. 



Surely the possibilities of .the, Motor- Wagon that we have briefly outlined 

 are sufficient to enlist your Intefest to the point of writing us for complete 

 details. ■ ( .t., -
