' After the hottest summer known in 

 forty years, we are having cool weather. 

 For four months of continued heat, 

 rarely getting below 90 degrees dur- 

 ■ ing the day and 78 to 80 degrees at 

 night, we have worked and worried, not 

 knowing what the next day would bring 

 • forth. Business of all kinds was de- 

 I moralized and it was only by great 

 ' eflEort that stock was pulled through 

 * BuccessfuUy. Roses seemed to suffer the 

 least. Carnations and chrysanthemums 

 were affected most and it was only by 

 continuous spraying that any growth 

 was made and insects kept under con- 

 trol, but the last few days have bright- 

 ened things up and our troubles seem 

 ended. Business, almost altogether in 

 funeral work, has been good and is 

 steadily on the increase. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are eagerly sought after and at 

 good prices. Carnations are in active 

 demand, but quality is fair only. Eoses 

 are the same. 



Various Notes. 



Outdoor stock is showing up fine with 

 the advent of cool nights, but notwith- 

 standing the bad season has grown re- 

 markably well, owing to the heavy, re- 

 tentive soil in which they are grown. 

 In fact, no finer rose soil can be had 

 anywhere than is found in this section 

 of the state. Some varieties budded in 

 July and August have made over four 

 feet of growth.^ 



At the fair just closed, Paterson took 

 all the premiums. Besides a handsomely 

 decorated booth, there was a fine dis- 

 play of decorative plants and a repre- 

 sentation of a wedding decoration. 



Fall bulbs are beginning to be called 

 for and the prospects seem good, as the 

 heat destroyed large quantities of roses 

 and other hardy plants in private gar- 

 dens. 



The largest funeral ever held here, 

 occurred last week, Paterson alone sup- 

 plying 140 pieces. 



Azaleas have suffered considerably in 

 transit, but may pull through.

WE BEG TO ANNOUNCE to the trade that we will 

 this season disseminate our new scarlet carnation, ST. 

 NIOI^OLAS. We have giveii this variety a five years' 

 te^.lind have found it making good in every particular. 

 Growers who have been obliged to grow both Victory and 

 Beacon in order to have first-class red carnations through 

 the whole season will welcome the relief afforded by St. • 

 Nicholas. It comes into bloom early, with high-grade • 

 blooms, showing no tendency toward sleepiness in warm 

 weather. The color is that rich, brilliult shade of deep 

 scarlet seen in Victory at its beet, and this brilliancy is 

 maintained throughout the whole season. In size it is 

 large, grading with the best varieties in other colors. 

 The fortn is good, with no splitting of the calyx. Keep- 

 ing (Qualities are" equal to the best. Habit of growth is 

 upright and strong, producing long, strong stems at all 

 times. In productiveness it ranks with the best com- 

 mercial varieties. Can be seen growing at our plant at "^ ' -^ 

 any time. We invite inspection. 



Delivery will begin about Jan. 1, 1012. Those wishing 

 extra early delivery should place t\i4it orders at once.
