The Market. 



The last week has been about as un- 

 favorable for business as could be im- 

 agined. The heat has been intense at 

 all times, and it has been extremely 

 )iard to get good results from roses. 

 There is no outdoor stock at all at most 

 places. Gladioli are practically a thing 

 of the past. Asters from outdoors are 

 absolutely a failure, while those in the 

 houses are not much better. Boses are 

 in better supply than they were a week 

 ago, but they lack quality. Lilies, espe- 

 cially rubrum, are plentiful. Carnations 

 are not in as yet. There has been a 

 good demand for designs, so that every- 

 one has kept fairly well cleaned up. 



Various Notes. 



Tom Joy, Jr., left for the convention 

 at the Twin Cities, August 14. He in- 

 tends to visit several of the large grow- 

 ers while he is away. 



Mr. Johnson, rose grower for the Joy 

 Floral Co., is at the city hospital with 

 typhoid. The reports are that he is 

 doing well. 



C. P. W. Nims, representing the Hews 

 Pottery Co., was in the city last week. 

 He reports the sale of three carloads of 

 pots. 



Oscar Geny, of Geny Bros., has been 

 confined to his home the last week. It 

 is to be hoped that no serious illness 

 will develop. 



We were much interested in the re- 

 port of an experience one of our grow- 

 ers had some time ago with the cotton 

 boll weevil in his carnation houses. He 

 says that the weevils destroyed the car- 

 nation buds in the same way that they 

 /do the cotton bolls. 



Haury & Sons are cutting some good 

 asters at present from the open field. 

 They were planted in partial shade and 

 so have not been burned out by the in- 

 tense heat. They are also cutting some 

 ^ood American Beauties at present. 

 Their new houses- are rapidly nearing 

 completion. 



Mclntyre Bros, say that they have 

 had the best summer business this sea- 

 son that they have ever enjoyed. Their 

 new automobile delivery cars went into 

 commission last week. They are cut- 

 ting a good lot of asters grown in cold- 

 frames. They say that they have dis- 

 continued trying to grow in the open 

 field. They have been fortunate in 

 having all the rain they needed for the 

 last three weeks from local showers 

 that did not reach the other growers. 

 They are cutting a lot of good Mexican 

 everbearing tuberoses. P. B. 



Cedar Bapids, la. — J. G. Crozer has 

 opened a new store at 209 South Third 

 street, which has many fine features. 

 Among them is the accommodation for 

 ladies who^wish to use it as a place to 

 keep appouitments or to rest.

FARMERS & FLORISTS TANKAGE FERTILIZER 



€L Is acknowledged by the majority of florists and farmers of the 

 United States to be the best l^lanced commercial fertilizer manu- 

 factured. It carries in its composition a percentage of the ten Basic 

 Salts constituting soil, and it would be an impossibility to use it on 

 any farm, field, lawn or bench without enhaucing fertility and pro- 

 ductiveness. It carries a very high percentage of the principal plant 

 foods, as certified in its guaranteed analysis of:— Nitrogen 2.90%, 

 Ammonia 3^ to 49(), Phosphoric Acid 8 to 10% and Potash 3%. 



C Our AETNA BRAND OF TANKAGE FERTILIZER is giving 

 universal satisfaction wherever used, and as we believe in the law 

 of live and let live, and that honesty is the best policy, we have 

 placed this fertilizer within the reach of all growers at the low fig- 

 ure of 122.00 a ton, f. o. b. Chicago. Write for sample order and 

 booklet of instructions.
