 tumn forest foliage in silver gray effects — Cycas

Immortelle Wreaths. 



Cycas Leaves 



Christmas colored cycas leaves, untransparent 

 and flexible, just the shade of red that you want 

 in a real Christmas novelty. We consider these 

 novel cycas leaves a great addition to our list of 

 Christmas reds.

The Market. 



There now is a decided improvement 

 all around in market conditions. The 

 approach of Thanksgiving may be 

 partly acountable for this, but nice, sea- 

 sonable weather now prevails and flow- 

 ers are opening more slowly. The bulk 

 of the chrysanthemums are oyer and, 

 although a good many are being held 

 for Thanksgiving, they will from this 

 time on cut les9 figure in the market. 

 Bonnaflfon is still the mum par excel- 

 lence, but Eaton, Jeanne Nonin, Maud 

 Dean, Mrs. Jerome Jones, Intensity, 

 Patty and a number of other sorts are 

 still obtainable. Prices are ruling bet- 

 ter on these. Eoses have stiffened up 

 considerably and there is now a marked 

 shortage of short-stemmed stock. Mrs. 

 Charles Eussell is, of course, the leader, 

 and the supply of this is far below the 

 demand. Killarney, Eichmond, Sun- 

 burst and Hillingdon are all selling 

 well, as are Beauties. Th«»e seems to 

 be a tendency to overdo the yellow

PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY 



A list of PLANT NAMES and the Botanical Terms most frequently met with 



in articles on trade tofia, with the CORRECT PRONUNCIATION for each. 



"The PronounciDK Dictionary is just what I have wanted."

"Tbe ProDOuixsinK Dictionary alone was much more value than the subscription price ol 

 tbe Review."

varieties; every rose specialist is now 

 forcing at least a bench or two of 

 them. 



Carnations are showing up more 

 strongly and prices are better. The 

 quality is now approaching midwinter 

 excellence. There are still large quan- 

 tities of both White Enchantress and 

 Enchantress, although Pink Delight is 

 now the real leader in the light pink 



class, with White Wonder and White 

 Enchantress sharing honors as whites. 

 Beacon leads as a scarlet and Fenn is 

 not yet displaced as a crimson. Single 

 violets far exceed doubles in numbers 

 and sell better. Prices on these show 

 an improvement. Valley is selling well, 

 also longiflorum lilies. 



Quite a few Paper White narcissi are 

 arriving. Stevia is also coming from
