also desirable, but care must be taken 

 in watering or injury may result from 

 the drying out of the bottom soil. With 

 reasonable care, little harm will re- 

 sult if the heating pipes are one foot 

 below the benches. 



We should certainly prefer to use beds 

 with not to exceed six inches of soil. 

 In fact, a depth of four or five inches is 

 preferred by some. Although greater 

 care is required to prevent the drying 

 out of the plants, there is even more 

 danger of keeping the deeper beds too 

 wet. It is also much easier to get 

 results on shallow beds with liquid 

 manure and top-dressings. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The continued hot weather, with the 

 thermometer registering all the way 

 from 94 to 98 degrees by the official 

 records, and 94 to 102 degrees elsewhere 

 in the city, has had telling results upon 

 trade and flowers in general. Eoses 

 seem to be most affected by the heat, 

 most of them coming in small and 

 burned to some extent. The first few 

 days after July 4 were dead as far as 

 trade was concerned, but after that 

 business seemed to pick up a little. The 

 demand seems to be greatest for outside 

 stock, there being a good demand for 

 gladioli, Shasta daisies and delphinium. 

 Some fine snapdragons are seen in the 

 market.
