ROBERT CRAIG COMPANY, NORWOOD, DELAWARE COUNTY, PA. 



MONTGOMERY, ALA. 



The Market. 



The first cool spell of the season came 

 with the end of September and stock is 

 looking much better as a consequence. 

 Carnations, roses and mums are taking 

 on fall shades and, with the assistance 

 of wild flowers, such as blazing star, 

 goldenrod and wild asters, and fall fo- 

 liage, the stores once again look like 

 flower shops. There was a sharp in- 

 crease in demand for flowers and a 

 sharp decrease in supply as a conse- 

 quence of the cool snap. 



Prospects for the coming season are 

 the brightest ever. All stock is extra 

 fine; all houses are planted to the limit 

 with first-class plants, and the condi- 

 tions are better than last year, when 

 Montgomery suffered the hottest Octo- 

 ber in the history of the local weather 

 bureau. The carnations last year suf- 

 fered a set-back during October and 

 never recovered. This year the carna- 

 tions are in fine growing condition and 

 will prove to be real money-makers. 

 Carnations in the south, especially in the 

 rural districts, are by far the most pop- 

 ular flowers. This is due to the fact 

 that they last longer and are not so 

 common as the rose, which can be picked 

 in most yards the major portion of the 

 year. 



Various Notes. 



Eosemont Gardens' retail business 

 having absorbed most of the surplus 

 that existed at one time, wholesale busi- 

 ness will be done now only in ease of 

 extreme gluts. Although the Rosemont 

 Gardens have built two houses 25x200 

 feet and a propagating house 15x200 

 feet, all of these being fully planted to 

 produce this fall, there does not seem to 

 be enough stock to go around at retail. 

 This firm has enough coal to run its 

 range of 300,000 square feet of glass 

 through January, with prospects of get- 

 ting enough for the rest of the season 

 soon. This coal was delivered last July. 



Emmett Pfingstl, formerly in the 

 landscape business in this city, has 

 leased the property of the Morning 

 View Floral Co. and is fast putting it 

 in shape. He will handle landscape 

 work and nursery stock principally, but
