The Market. 



Weather conditions were quite favor- 

 able last week, which was bright and 

 warm. Outside flowers are holding out 

 well. Indoor stock is now coming on 

 rapidly. Carnations are getting good 

 stems and will soon be helpful in sup- 

 plying the demand. Business has been 

 good in all lines. 



Gladioli have been especially prof- 

 itable this season, filling in where other- 

 wise there would have been a scarcity. 

 Gladiolus Mrs. Watt has been largely 

 grown. America, the best variety for 

 all purposes, appears to be scarce and 

 in all probability will be even less 

 plentiful later. Growers should plant 

 all the bulblets possible. 



Good dahlias are to be had, also zin- 

 nias, French marigolds, Buddleia mag- 

 nifica. Hydrangea paniculata grandi- 

 flora, and asters. Helianthus is just 

 now making a fine showing. It is a 

 gorgeous border plant, hardy and free. 

 It also lasts well when cut. 



The department stores have com- 

 menced sales of hardy plants and small 

 shrubs, not to the same extent, how- 

 ever, as when they were able to sell at 

 lower prices. There is every prospect 

 of a good demand this fall for shrubs 

 and fruit trees. The mills, like other 

 classes of work, are going at full pres- 

 sure. In a short time the trade will 

 have all it can take care of. 



Various Notes. 



Frank P. Putnam has been cutting 

 carnations, in fine condition and with 

 long stems, for the last two weeks. He 

 has started putting in sand cuttings of 

 Laddie taken from a large batch of 

 the old plants. Mr. Parker, the fore- 

 man, considers this variety a money- 

 maker. Gloriosa is another variety they 

 speak well of. 



Morse & Beals had their first con- 

 signment of Golden Glow Saturday, 

 September 20. They are getting in 

 fine roses and report numerous funeral 

 orders. Clayton Colby, bookkeeper of 

 this firm, has returned from his vaca- 

 tion. 



Louis Rmitli has gone into the vege- 

 table business. He has planted his 

 houses with tomatoes and lettuce and 

 will grow cucumbers. 



Mrs. J. J. McManmon has been hav- 

 ing a great deal of funeral work. 

 Saturday, September 20, several large 

 rush orders for funerals were received, 

 which almost cleaned up cut stock.
