figures. He doesn't do much in carna-
tons raises only about half q milton
. year. Not much money In carnations
People have got an idea they are ch@ar /,
and - they won't pay What the flowers
are really worth
Oh. ye-. there are chrysanthemurns
just coming on veil now He built a
nee house last year which 10 as feet
long NL feet vide and Ia comfor, ably
Allied with s1.oco strong chryrsnthsmum
plants There are two or three times
- many more distributed through half
Q dozen other houses
In one % the houses where tho tall white
japanese liiirs are started there are
tiers on tiers Of vide shelves. packed
solidly With 1o.ooo pots Of Earth In
the half light one sees the pale green
shoots which will develop into tall stalks
crowned with the deep white trumpe,
shaped flowers. These are samples Of
the little Of everything which Ia grown
at Cromwell
where do all these flowers go7 To
New York. Boston. Philadelphia, Pitts
burg Baltimore. Washington. Rochester
and In smaller quantities 70 Hartford
Springfield. Northampton. New Haven
and other cities % their class And
night here 10 where one gets . shock Of
surprise. For when one casually remarks
that OF course New York ia the finest
flower market in the country one Of the
greenhouse men humphs a humph Of
disgust
-ft certainly 10 not he remarks With
the emphasis on the not. L believe
Chicago il the greatest flower market
in the country
Everybody in Chicago buys hoUers
They dress their shop windows with
them ont there. I've seen a hundred
American Beauties in tho window Of a
mems furnishing store aud ~ was " here
Beauties were selling for IS cents apiece
Wholesale No. SIR. I believe Chicagos got
New York beat when IL comes 70 buying
flowers. New York gets the cream and the
dregs. The very pickgoes there. but the .
trash from everywhere goes there too !
Everybodys seconds and left overs 60 20 ,
New York
-Rochesters fine flower market,
They buy good flowers and lots Of them ,
out there II deserves It's title Of the ,
Flower City Springield's q fine custo- 1
mer and Hartford's q good on. Little
Northampton probably buys more !
flowers than any other town OF its size.
The college girls make IL q FIRST class I
buyer. But New York; he shook his
head sadly.
And during Horse Show week. he
went on. we just mark time. People q
used TO think that was going TO be = red Il
letter week in the flower business. but it's .
the other way around. "
what do people want with flowers
them They're not AZ home They're
not giving dinners or dances or getting q
married. lbelieve they even put on dying G
until the Horse Show 10 over Whatever y
they do. they're not buying flowers. We
alwAys ship light tn New York that week A
Two great climaHes in the flower market
are at Christmas and Faster. A. Easter y
tho demand " bigger. at Christmas the :,
prices Ths's because the flowers wanted ~
then are. on the whole. the costlier ones n
and aLso because the time 81 year makes -
u harder TO raise them Our fuel bill ~
