must be lasting, convenient and efficient. They must be constructed 

 in accordance with the principles which have been approved by knowl- 

 edge and experience. We have been in the greenhouse manufacturing 

 business for many years and our experience is at your disposal. 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

The Market. 



Funeral work has kept up to a marked 

 degree, so that the first week of Sep- 

 tember goes on record as the best week 

 which the trade has experienced for a 

 couple of months. 



The supply continues good, with as- 

 ters in the lead. Although the quality 

 is excellent, these are selling as low as 

 $2 per hundred, on account of the over- 

 abundant supply. Gladioli run a good 

 second, but they do not meet with so 

 good a demand. Later varieties of 

 dahlias are arriving, as are also golden- 

 rod, zinnias, late cosmos, a few green- 

 house sweet peas and snapdragons, 

 which are meeting with a fair call. 

 Roses are showing much improvement 

 in quality. Hydrangea paniculata is 

 being used largely for funeral sprays. 

 Cattleyas are scarce and are bringing 

 $1.50 each, wholesale, while oncidiums, 

 vandas and cypripediums are more 

 plentiful, the latter wholesaling at 50 

 cents each. 



Various Notes. 



John Doswell, of the Doswell Floral 

 Co., reports an active summer season. 

 This firm has redecorated its retail 

 store and has also put in extensive im- 

 provements at its greenhouses. A new 

 lOO-horsepower tubular boiler has been 

 installed at the range. Miss Bonnie 

 Doswell returned to her duties at the 

 store last week after a several weeks' 

 vacation trip, which included a visit 

 to Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Detroit. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey have engaged a 

 new orchid expert, Nelson Butler, who
