George Crissman, who is in charge of 

 the growing, thinks that a really late 

 crop of mums next season will be a finan- 

 cial success. 



Theo. Verscharen, Pittsburgh, Pa., is 

 having his usual success with lilies. His 

 giganteums are thirty inches high and 

 showing buds, while his Bermudas are 

 only coming into flower. He is also 

 sending many tulips to market with 

 good, long stems. 



Myer Bros., Altoona, Pa., realize the 

 value of a conservatory in connection 

 with their salesroom and so will move 

 two blocks from their present location 

 and build a conservatory at the back of 

 the store. 



Karl Kuny, Altoona, Pa., is building 

 a range at Frankstown, Pa., a few miles 

 from Altoona, where he will grow his 

 stock, using his present location chiefly 



as a sales conservatory, since it is in a 

 residence section and near the cemetery. 



Henry Meuschke & Sons, Castle 

 Shannon, Pa., say that sunny weather 

 right now would be worth a small for- 

 tune. Their roses and carnations are 

 loaded with buds and the demand is 

 far greater than the supply. 



Albert L. Klein, Pittsburgh, Pa., is 

 spending a month with his folks in 

 Oklahoma. 



Louis Faulk, Bellevue, Pa., finds it 

 more profitable to grow small plants for 

 shipping at present prices than to grow 

 blooms, as the weather certainly is 

 against the cut flower grower. 



John Koenig, Glenshaw, Pa., has two 

 100-foot benches of freesias in bloom on 

 16-inch stems and finds a ready market 

 for all of them. Freesias bloom in spite 

 of cloudv weather. D. W. D. 



USINOEB'S UTTERANCES. 



In a recent interview with L. C. He- 

 cock, of Elyria, O., Mr. Hecock asked 

 for information as to the methods used 

 by growers in the valuation of their 

 growing stock, at stock-taking time, 

 especially at this season of the year. 

 Valuation was usually placed on out- 

 door stock in July, but now he has 

 changed the date to January. Being a 

 layman in the growing part of the busi- 

 ness, I was unable to tell him. Perhaps 

 someone has a method that would help 

 Mr. Hecock in this matter. 



That the social activities were again 

 in vogue, after several years' war pro- 

 gram, was emphasized by Mrs. B. S. 

 Fearns, of the Elyria Flower Shoppe, 

 Elyria, O. The demand of the season's 

 social events is enormous.
