the pipes should be placed as high as 

 possible. 



For five houses having the same di- 

 mensions as those described, a boiler 

 rated for about 800 square feet of 

 radiation sliould be used. This will 

 mean one with about four square feet 

 of grate. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



Business was quiet last week, al- 

 though there were a good many belated 

 bedding plaint sales. Prices of cut flow- 

 ers, especially carnations, have dropped 

 to low levels. 



F. A. Kuehn reports that he still has 

 considerable cemetery work, but is 

 handicapped by lack of help. 



Henry Hornecker, of East Orange, 

 also says it is next to impossible to get 

 help for his greenhouses, 



Howard Davis, of East Orange, says 

 calls for bedding stock have been below 

 normal this season. 



Ernest Eadany reports that business 

 is quiet after a good season.

The Market. 



A retrospect of the month's activities 

 shows that June business has been most 

 satisfactory. Bedding stock perhaps 

 has been the most imi)ortant item; on 

 account of the late season sales of bed- 

 ding stock have been exceptionally 

 heavy for June, and according to re- 

 ports the growers are well cleaned up 

 in this line, June, the month of wed- 

 dings, brought a wealth of decorative 

 work. In connection with the weddings 

 were numerous prenuptial affairs, which 

 accelerated tlie sale of corsage bouquets. 

 Graduations also have helped to swell 

 the total for the month. The telegraph 

 business has improved, a condition 

 brought about by the soldiers at Fort 

 Benjamin Harrison, who do not forget 

 the girls tliey left behind them. Coun- 

 ter trade lias l)oen a])out normal and the 

 usual quantity of funeral work has pre- 

 vailed. Yes, June has been a profitable 

 month for the florists. 



Tlie market continues short on roses 

 and Easter lilies, but the demand never- 

 theless has been well taken care of. 

 Eoses bring from $3 to $10 per hundred 

 and lilies from $1 to $1.50 per dozen. 



Warmer weather has caused the car- 

 nations to deteriorate in quality. They 

 are plentiful, but in little demand be- 

 cause of their inferior grade. Gladioli 

 have weakened and may be purchased 

 at $.") and $0 ])er hundred, with the 

 fancies making $8. Shasta daisies are 

 in ])()])ular favor at $1..')0 and $2 per 

 hundred. Delphiniums are the most pop- 

 ular of the seasonable stock, making 

 $4 to $n ])or hundred, although other 

 outdoor stock, including coreopsis, Can- 

 terbury bells, gaillardias, snajidragons 

 and gypsoj)hilas, meets with a good sale. 

 The green goods market is about nor- 

 mal, with a little improvement notice- 

 able in feni leaves. 



Various Notes. 



The State Florists' Association of 

 Indiana lield a meeting Friday, June 

 22, to hear the report of the committee 

 on cyclone insurance. The organization 

 is rapidly taking form and in a short 

 time the jilans and by-laws will be 

 mailed to tlie trade. Final action on 

 all steps taken will lie liroiight up at 

 the next meeting of the association.
