The Market. 



Conditions in this market are much 

 the same as last week. The weather is 

 extremely hot and unseasonable and 

 consequently stock that is to be had ar- 

 rives in a soft condition. 



It was generally thought that peonies 

 would not be in for Memorial day, but 

 the thermometer registered 90 degrees 

 May 22, bringing in plenty of peonies 

 and other outdoor stock. 



Boses are, as usual, plentiful and the 

 same can be said of carnations, espe- 

 cially white carnations. 



Gladioli are now arriving in large 

 quantities and moving well at $8 to $10 

 per hundred. Some of the leading va- 

 rieties are Halley, Mrs. Francis King, 

 America, Panama and Chicago White. 



Indoor sweet peas are now showing 

 the effects of the boiling sun, but the 

 outdoor ones are picking up where the 

 others left oflf. 



Snapdragon, a quite popular flower 

 here, is arriving in large numbers, but 

 quick sales move them out readily. 



The first delphiniums of the season 

 were seen last week and they surely 

 were welcomed by all the florists, be- 

 cause of their colors and good qualities 

 for basket work. 



Miscellaneous stock, including calen- 

 dulas, cornflowers, double narcissi, gar- 

 denias, valley and pansies, move well. 



The general outlook is for a banner 

 Memorial day, which will be the last 

 of the season's holidays and welcomed 

 by all the florists. 



Various Notes. 



The Wm. Murphy Co. has been re- 

 ceiving some choice Spanish iris and 

 gladioli from E. H. Wittersaetter and 

 Wm. Taylor, both of Price Hill. 



P. J. dinger reports a big week in 

 snapdragon and carnation sales. 



H. W. Sheppard has had a busy week 

 in weddings, including a large one at 

 the Church of the Advent, in Walnut 

 Hills, when Miss Martha Shipley and 

 James Monroe were married. 



Julius Baer reports the biggest week 

 in May just past. 



C. E. Critchell has been receiving 

 some excellent peonies and delphiniums 

 from C. Federle, of Hamilton, 0. 



We regret to report the illness of 

 Nick Weber, of Mohawk; Fred Eupp, of 

 Lawrenceburg, and Miss E. F. Kyrk, of 

 Avondale. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 is receiving some good lilies and valley 

 from Wm. Schumann, of the Highlands. 



Among visitors last week were Mrs. 



T. J. Burns, of Huntington, W. Va.; 

 Karl Heiscr, of Hamilton, O.; J. T. Her- 

 degen, of Aurora, Ind., and T. J. Price, 

 of Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago.

CAN'T CARRY OVER NARCISSUS, 



We have several hundred bulbs of 

 Narcissus Paper White that were used 

 for forcing in the greenhouse last win- 

 ter. After blooming, they were allowed 

 to ripen by gradual drying off. These 

 bulbs arc now plump and solid, and 

 some have young bulbs attached. Can 

 these be planted outside for one vear 

 to bloom, and then be forced the third 

 year? If they can be so used, please 

 advise as to when to plant them. What 

 is the proper way to secure results? 

 E. B. E.— Mich. 



Paper White narcissi are of abso- 

 lutely no value to carry over a second 

 season. If planted outdoors, all the 

 bulbs will die the first winter, this nar- 

 cissus being a tender variety and of 

 no use outdoors. ' C. W. 



LIGHT HYDRANGEA LEAVES. 



The leaves on our hydrangea plants 

 are light in color in.stead of the usual 

 dark, healthy color. The plants are do- 

 ing well, but the foliage is not perfect. 

 Can you tell what is wrong with them? 

 Also will you please tell us what to do 

 in order to remedy this defect? 



K. & S.— Wis. 



When the leaves on hydrangea plants 

 commence to turn light in color, it is 

 the sign of stagnant soil. The best way 

 to remedy it is to be more sparing with 

 the water at the plants' roots. It is 

 also a good plan to examine the drain- 

 age of the pots to make sure that the 

 water drains freely through the soil at 

 each watering. m. P. 



BEGONIAS THAT SHRIVEL. 



I am sending a Mrs. Patten begonia 

 plant which is affected either with in- 

 sects or some fungous disease. The 

 plants branch freely, but about the time 

 the new shoots are readv to bloom, the 

 center shrivels up and turns black. 



W. S. H.— la. 



Throw away any stock thus affected. 

 What you describe not infrequently hap- 

 pens with this class of fibrous-rooted be- 

 gonias, especially in a low temperature. 

 Keep moisture from the leaves, and give 

 the plants a nice, sunny bench for best 

 results. c. W.
