The Market. 



The weather changed from one ex- 

 treme to another last week. At the 

 beginning of the week the temperature 

 was high, but by the middle of the week 

 it had gone down to freezing point in 

 some sections. Business, consequently, 

 was poor some days, with a good day's 

 business October 2. Stock is beginning 

 to tighten. The heavy supply of out- 

 door stock ia much reduced. Asters 

 have become almost choice, since they 

 are less plentiful. Funeral work has 

 been abundant. Indoor flowers have 

 made a good showing, and a decided 

 improvement is noticed in carnations, 

 which are plentiful. Easter lilies are of 

 excellent quality and sell well. In roses, 

 the supply is normal and of fair qual- 

 ity; the demand is good. Columbia, 

 Sunburst, Ophelia, Ward and Killarney 

 are mostly in evidence. Swainsona is 

 seen occasionally. Orchids are scarce. 

 Pansies are in small supply and move 

 slowly. The supply of chrysanthemums 

 is larger and the demand heavier. Ex- 

 cellent Golden Glow, Smith's Advance 

 and some lavender varieties are seen 

 and sell well. Considering the lateness 

 of the season, some fine dahlias are on 

 the market and they are in demand. 

 Gladioli are about over and only a few 

 good ones reach us. 



Greens of all kinds are plentiful. In 

 most of the stores there appears to be 

 a good demand for palms, ferns and 

 crotons. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Lillian Wheeler, of H. E. Wilson, 

 who underwent an operation for abscess, 

 is improving rapidly, but is still under 

 the doctor's care. 



N. A. Hallauer, of Ontario, N. Y., is 

 cutting some fine dahlias. They include 

 many of the latest and best varieties. 



H. E. Wilson has just installed at his 

 store a new heating apparatus which is 

 more than twice as large as the old one. 

 Alterations last fall made this improve- 

 ment quite necessary. Business, Mr. 

 Wilson says, is good indeed. 



A good, steady demand for bulbs is 

 reported by Hart & Vick. They are do- 

 ing a fine mail order business. 



Hugo Teute is growing some cycla- 

 mens, which sell readily to the uptown 

 florists. His houses of chrysanthemums 

 are exceptionally fine and are coming 

 into bloom nicely. The carnations, too, 

 are making a good showing and a large 

 crop is expected. 



Visitors last week to the trade were 



Sam Entract, of Wertheimer Bros., New 

 York, N. Y.; Milton Selinka, of Schloss 

 Bros., New York, N. Y.; Julius Berg, 

 of Lion & Co., New York, N. Y. 



Mr. Burnham, president of the Lord 

 & Burnham Co., was in this city for two 

 or three days, visiting his brother,. 

 Frank, who is seriously ill in the Hahne- 

 mann hospital here. H. J. H. 



ASTERS HAVE BLIGHT. 



We are sending you some diseased 

 aster plants. Can you tell us what is 

 the matter with themt We had a good 

 field of them a short time ago, but now 

 they are dying one by ijpe. 



0. F. C— Mich. 



The asters are affected with blight. 

 The first symptom of this disease is the 

 changing of one side of the plant to a. 

 lighter green, which is followed by a 

 crippled appearance and later by the 

 stem turning black and rotting. Whea 

 once a plant has become affected it is 

 useless to try to save it. The best thing 

 to do is to pull out any plants showing 

 the disease and burn them. 



The cause of the blight is unknown, 

 but we have found that when the asters 

 are transplanted into flats and are al- 

 lowed to become hard in the stem before 

 being planted in the field, they are more 

 subject to the blight. Comparison has 

 been made between the transplanted 

 plants and some plants sown later and 

 planted direct to the field from the seed 

 boxes, with the result that those not 

 transplanted into the flats were found to 

 produce much better flowers and to be 

 cleaner throughout. Next season change 

 the planting ground for the asters. Do 

 not plant on the same land two years 

 in succession. M. P. 



RETARDING CINERARIAS. 



How can I stop cinerarias from com- 

 ing into bloom too soon? Shall I pinch 

 back or shift on? Which is better? 



D. F. C— Colo. 



Blooming can frequently be deferred 

 by shifting the plants into larger pots 

 before the buds are formed. After the 

 buds put in their appearance the only 

 method of retarding is to lower the 

 temperature. Cinerarias do well at a low 

 temperature anyway, and you can run 

 it well down in the forties without in- 

 jury until you want them to come on. 

 If the plants have come into bud pre- 

 maturely on account of being stunted, 

 you might as well dump them out, as 

 nothing you can do will put them into 

 first-class shape again. A. F. J. Baur.
