HINDSIGHT. 
REVIEW OF THE WEEK’S MARKETS. 
The grain market has been extremely dull dur¬ 
ing the week, as business in all lines is com¬ 
pletely upset, and a state of great uncertainty as 
to the outcome, prevails. The price of wheat is 
a trifle lower. Butter receipts have been light, 
demand good, and prices have advanced some¬ 
what. This condition would not continue long 
under very heavy receipts. The cheese market 
shows little change, and is very quiet. Receipts 
of eggs have been heavy and considerable quan¬ 
tities are already going into cold storage. Re¬ 
ceipts of poultry have been much lighter, demand 
fair, and prices somewhat higher. Calves have 
been in heavy receipt, and the market has been 
weak, with slightly lower prices. Potatoes are 
in moderate supply and show little change. In 
other vegtables, the demand is good for prime 
qualities.

To promote the growth of and create an increased interest in the cultivation of flowers among the people, we have made 
an arrangement with a leading grower, of international reputation as an originator of improved varieties, to supply our read¬ 
ers with the four best varieties of prize-winning: chrysanthemum plants as described below. 
We send good vigorous plants which have been grown expressly for our subscribers, and any one can easily grow them 
and have the choicest flowers the whole autumn. Full directions for culture sent with each set, and we guarantee perfect 
satisfaction if our instructions are followed. 
Philadelphia 
Introduced by Mr. Hugh Graham of Pliila- 
delphia.the greatest chrysanthemum special¬ 
ist in the country. No other variety ever 
created such a sensation. 
Cut blooms were sent 
over to London, Eng¬ 
land, and in spite of be¬ 
ing carried over 3,000 
miles, were received in 
good condition and award¬ 
ed a silver gilt medal by 
the English National 
Chrysanthemum Soci¬ 
ety—the highest award 
ever given chrysanthe¬ 
mums. The only Ameri¬ 
can variety ever awarded 
a medal by the National 
Society, and only two Eng¬ 
lish varieties have ever re¬ 
ceived a silver gilt medal. 
In America this variety 
created the greatest sen¬ 
sation. It was named 
“ Philadelphia” in honor 
of the “ City of Brother¬ 
ly Love ” by Mayor Edwin 
S. Stuart, at the Academy 
of Music amid a great so¬ 
cial demonstration. Never 
before had such magnifi¬ 
cent blooms been seen, 
and the greatest enthusi¬ 
asm was aroused over the 
immense Huffy cream- 
colored globes. Flow¬ 
ers of the largest size and most exquisite form; petals radiate in every 
direction, and being gracefully incurved form a perfect globe, giving 
that light, fluffy gracefulness so much admired. In color a beautiful 
clear cream-tinted lemon, changing to creamy white as the flower 
ages. Plant is a strong, vigorous grower, of medium height, and 
is one of the easiest for amateurs to grow. 
The following is a partial list of awards received by Mr. Graham the 
first season he exhibited it: 
Horticultural Society of Chicago, first prize. 
Newport Horticultural Society, Silver Medal (highest award given by 
society). 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, first prize for best seedling ever 
disseminated. 
Mrs. Thomas Potter, Jr. 
est of all (leep-pink varieties. Awarded first prize in Philadelphia in 1896 
for best pink over nil the other standard pink chrysanthemums. Plant 
very strong and vigorous, and one of the easiest to grow. Color 
deepest, brightest pink found in chrysanthemums, with reflex of petals 
a beautiful silvery pink, making a lovely combination. 
THE BEAUTIFUL 
FANTASTIC 
lora 
of this type, and was awarded five first prizes. 
One of the quilled petaled fantastic shaped 
varieties so much admired. Color a beau¬ 
tiful light shell pink. It is far the best 
Mrs. Henry Robinson 
Too much cannot be said 
in favor of this superb 
, , . , _ variety, which is ac¬ 
knowledged everywhere to be the finest snow-white exhibition variety 
in existence. Of immense size and perfect incurved form, being 
full and round. Petals of exquisite quality and finish. Plant is a strong 
free grower, a little above medium height. Awarded twenty-three 
first prizes the past season.
