Septhmbeb 7, 1916. 



mense quantity of asters, whieh sell 

 rapidly. His gladioli are in good shape 

 and move easily. He also has a good 

 crop of peaches. 



William Hooper spent the week end 

 at Watkins Glen. 



The Rochester Floral Co. had a 

 unique window display for a study in 

 black and white. Jet-black vases of 

 maty shapes were filled with white 

 asters. The effect was most pleasing. 



Owing to the threatened railway 

 strike and the uncertainty of delivery, 

 out-of-town orders last week were bad- 

 ly handicapped. H. J. H. 



PITTSBUBOH, PA. 



The Market. 



"We are having most delightfully cool 

 weather, but what we need is rain. 

 There has not been any marked change 

 in business conditions. Flowers, so far 

 as asters are concerned, are scarce, and 

 there are just about enough gladioli 

 coming in to take care of the demand 

 at a fair price. Lilies have been on 

 the short side and valley is not seen at 

 all. Boses are arriving more plenti- 

 fully every day, including some fine 

 Mock, Maryland, Killarney and White 

 Killarney. There are large quantities 

 of short-stemmed stock of all kinds. 

 Beauties have shortened until there now 

 are not enough of them arriving to be 

 considered at all. 



The wholesalers clean up nicely every 

 day. They report the volume of busi- 

 ness done larger than in other years, 

 even though there is a shortage of 

 stock. Eetailers are busy; they have 

 had good funeral work. They have 

 considerable trouble in procuring val- 

 ley, as it is extremely short and the 

 growers in this section are entirely out 

 of it. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its meeting 

 September 5, at the Fort Pitt hotel. 



E. McGrath and Edward Blind have 

 returned from an eastern trip, in which 

 they combined business with pleasure. 



Most of the boys are back on their 

 jobs and the stores are now beginning 

 to look natural again. Clarke. 



TEBKE HAUTE, IND. 



William F. Gfude, Adolph Gude, Ernst 

 Gude and Mr. and Mrs. C. Schellhorn, 

 of Washington, D. C, en route home 

 from the Houston convention, stopped 

 oflf for a short visit with Heinl's and 

 to see the new Davis Gardens, which 

 the visitors said were among the finest 

 they had ever seen. They reported a 

 fine time at Houston and a satisfactory 

 meeting. 



Wunker & Sons have finished plant- 

 ing carnations and Fred now is in 

 Michigan, resting and getting in form 

 for the fall trade. 



The J. W. Davis Co. has finished 

 planting two of the new 75x666 feet 

 houses to cukes. Material is on the 

 ground for another house of the same 

 size, which will be completed by Decem- 

 ber 1, making six houses, all by the 

 Lord & Burnham Co. About seven acres 

 are already covered with glass and the 

 range is only half completed. The com- 

 ipany is adding 300 horsepower to the 

 boiler capacity and has finished a con- 

 crete manure bin that holds twenty car- 

 loads. 



Henry Graham, of South Seventeenth 

 street, has one of the best kept fronts 



in the city. His lawn and flower beds 

 are first-class advertisements. 



John G. Heinl has been elected pres- 

 ident of the Morris Bank, a new $100,- 

 000 institution organized here. 



The prospects of a railroad strike did 

 not worry Thomas Stephenson finy, as 

 there are coal mines across the road 

 from his greenhouses; in fact, he gets 

 his coal almost for the hauling. 



Fred G. Heinl is building an attrac- 

 tive residence at Davis Gardens. 



William Dinkle, a plant and vege- 

 table grower, is adding 100-fOot addi- 

 tions to each of his five houses. He 

 reports a most satisfactory season. 



Cowan Bros, have a steady run of 

 funeral work that uses all their stock. 



Heinl & Weber are busy as bees ship- 

 ping Boston ferns and pelargoniums, 

 both of which are specialties with them. 



N. B. "Stover has returned from an 

 auto trip through northern Indiana. 



W. G. Matthews and party, of 

 Dayton, O., stopped here last week long 

 enough to put air in their tires while 

 en route to Hvansville, Ind. Mr. 

 Matthews said that when it was 100 

 in the shade it was too hot to visit 

 greenhouses. 



C. J. Houk, for the last two years 

 manager of the Rosery, has resi'jnel

 Mr. Drayton will succeed him. This 

 concern has just been incorporated.
