BABY WEAVE CHIEEON MATS 



It is not the clothes that make a gentleman or the MAT that sells the plant, but a 

 MAT of delicate fabric that brings out the soft colors to the best advantage goes a long 

 way toward selling the plant. 



Our BABY WEAVE CHIFFON MATS come in all flower colors; their softness of 

 texture gives them an advantage over the coarser mats ordinarily seen because they are more 

 pliable; easily adjusted and, to use a common phrase, better looking. 



It is not too late to call on us for these MATS for BASKETS, IMPERIAL CHINA- 

 WARE or any other requisite you may need.

The Market. 



There was little difference this week 

 to be noted in the condition of the mar- 

 ket over what it has been for the month, 

 with the possible exception of American 

 Beauties, which were more abundant 

 than they have been since May or June 

 of last year. While the retail price has 

 not suffered materially, $3 is about the 

 limit at wholesale and finer Beauties 

 were never seen in this city. In the 

 other roses, the price has dropped. Kil- 

 larney holds the lead, there being per- 

 haps more of these coming in than any 

 other variety. In whites there are 

 White Killarney, Ivory, Bride and 

 Kaiserin, all of which are overplentiful, 

 it being possible to purchase them at
