running through both rooms to the 

 boiler. 



In order to secure a temperature of 

 60 degrees in the east half of the house, 

 a third flow pipe should be run about 

 two feet below the ridge, to the parti- 

 tion, and connected there with a coil 

 of two 1%-inch returns placed under the 

 middle bench. We would use a boiler 

 rated for about 500 square feet of 

 radiation. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Business was dull last week in New- 

 ark and flowers were scarce and high- 

 priced. There was a considerable quan- 

 tity of inferior stock, but the shipments 

 of good quality flowers were small. A 

 retailer going to the market in the 

 afternoon for flowers had hard work 

 to find enough good flowers for his 

 orders. At times it was difficult to 

 procure lilies and those obtainable were 

 high-priced. Roses are not plentiful 

 and therefore bring a good price. Cos- 

 mos continue to come into the market, 

 but they are not plentiful. Gladioli 

 are plentiful and reasonable in price. 



Asters are scarce and the price for 

 them is good. The weather conditions 

 have been bad for asters this year. It 

 was extremely wet during the early 

 part of the season and many plants 

 rotted off. Those which did grow did 

 not, as a rule, develop properly, with 

 the result that many of the flowers 

 now coming into the market are small 

 and imperfect. 



Indications are that potted stock will 

 cost more this fall. Growers are pay- 

 ing more for coal, for pots and for prac- 

 tically everything else they use, and 

 they feel justified in charging more to 

 cover the larger bills. In like manner 

 the retailer, who has to pay more for 

 boxes, wrapping paper, twine and other 

 accessories, perhaps will charge higher 

 prices for his goods. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Trauth has been repainting 

 and otherwise preparing his store for 

 the fall trade. As soon as this work 

 is completed he will stock up for the 

 season. He reports that business has 

 been quiet during the last two weeks. 



Charles E. Maillard is attending to 

 store repairs and making improvements 

 here and there. The store will be in 

 perfect form for a busy fall season. 



September 16 will see the formal 

 opening of the Rose Shop, 383 Spring- 

 field avenue, Summit. The shop is 

 owned by Harry O. May, rose grower 

 of Pine Grove avenue, Summit, and will 

 be managed by Harry F. Silcoek. This 

 new store succeeds the Colonial Flower 

 Shop, which discontinued business in 

 July. Mr. May is rebuilding the green- 

 house at the rear of the store.
