The Market. 



Platteville, Wis. — Thomas Moore, 

 who during the last five years has been 

 doing considerable business each spring 

 with hotbed plants, is building a green- 

 house so as to be able to supply his 

 customers the vcar around. 



The cut flower market was quiet last 

 week. The stock coming in was good 

 and consisted of Beauties, lilies, roses of 

 most varieties, gladioli, carnations, as- 

 ters and snapdragons. The market is 

 glutted with greens of all kinds. Busi- 

 ness in July so far has been better than 

 in previous years, as those who keep ac- 

 curate records can prove. 



Florists' Club Auto Outing. 



The Pittsburgh Florists' Club, in con- 

 junction with the Horticultural Club of 

 Western Pennsylvania and the Horti- 

 cultural Club of Sewickley, provided its 

 members with an auto outing Wednes-

 provided means of transportation for 

 all. The places visited and gardens in- 

 spected were: Phipps conservatories,
