The Market. 



The last two weeks have seen mtith 

 of the summer lethargy, yet business 

 has been good considering the season. 



Outdoor crops are coming on slowly, 

 the cannas and other heat-loving bed- 

 ders being fully two weeks later than 

 usual. Gladioli are holding the center 

 of the stage this week and we have 

 never seen so good an assortment in 

 the stores. They are selling better, too, 

 because people are not confined to one 

 or two varieties. America remains the 

 favorite with the buyers, but Baron 

 Hulot is selling unusually well. 



Eoses are in good supply, fully as 

 good as the demand. A few asters are 

 making their appearance, but they are 

 lacking in quality. Cosmos is bloom- 

 ing well for so early in the season. This 

 flower cuts little figure in the market 

 here, but it helps when there is a short- 

 age. Gaillardias are beginning to be 

 recognized in a small way as cut flow- 

 ers. There are few flowers that can 

 be used so effectively in decorations, 

 especially where something out of the 

 conventional is required. 



Various Notes. 



The Joys have their planting finished 

 and are busy cleaning up. They have 

 cut down the space devoted to Amer- 

 ican Beauty and also to red roses. They 

 say that the tendency in this market is 

 to demand pink roses. 



J. F. Corbett has found outdoor roses 

 so profitable for cut fiowers that he 

 planted a new block recently. 



Mr. Alderson, who has been private 

 grower for the Belle Meade estate, has 

 accepted the position of manager of the 

 Ward-Belmont greenhouses. He entered 

 upon his duties last week. Mr. John- 

 ston, who, has been employed in various 

 capacities in several of the leading es- 

 tablishments during the last ten years, 

 has accepted the position formerly held 

 by Mr. Alderson. Mr. Palmer, who 

 formerly owned the Edenwold estate, 

 has purchased Belle Meade. 



Mclntyre Bros, have their houses 

 planted and are selling their surplus 

 plants. They have things in good shape 

 for the fall business. F. B. 



Elkhart, Ind. — A large greenhouse 

 and conservatory are to be erected on 

 the renowned 800-acre estate of C. G. 

 Conn.' H. D. Seele, landscape gardener, 

 is superintendent of the estate, which 

 is one of the finest in Hoosierdom.
