 sufficient support Is needed to keep 

 the publicity movement from going 

 by the board, from losing the prestige

 companied by his wife and son. The

THE MARKET 



The market has been very dull for 

 the past week. In Massachusetts and 

 some other states the holiday contrib- 

 uted to this condition, and the good 

 weather also figures in it because 

 people who ordinarily would be buy- 

 ing flowers at this season were seek- 

 ing their pleasure in the country or 

 at least out of doors. Weather condi- 

 tions have had some effect on the 

 greenhouse stock also, chrysanthe- 

 mums having suffered both from this 

 cause and also from insects. As a re- 

 sult the bulk of the chrysanthemums 

 offered are in pretty poor shape and 

 prices run low. It is not until the 

 Bonnaffons make their appearance 

 that the mum market really takes 

 proper shape. 



Carnations are selling for only 2, 3 

 and 4c., while roses run from 5c. up 

 according to quality. As a matter of 

 fact, prices for all stocks depend large- 

 ly upon what the grower can get. 



.John Smith, of Port Chester, N. Y., 

 has built two new greenhouses to take 

 care of his growing business.

 ters on Frederica St., Owensboro, Ky.
