The Market. 



The last two weeks have been good 

 from a business standpoint. There has 

 been no frost, but the weather has been 

 favorable and the demand for cut flow- 

 ers has been good. There is a large 

 supply of dahlias and they are the best 

 we have ever seen. There is a wider 

 range of varieties and they are al- 

 most perfect, although the stems are 

 short as a result of the drought. More 

 and more we are learning that "this 

 flower can be successfully grown in the 

 south if it is given plenty of good, 

 deep tillage. 



Chrysanthemums are coming in more 

 freely, although there still is a short- 

 age. Roses continue in large supply, 

 almost all varieties being plentiful. 

 The Beauties are especially fine. As 

 soon as there is a good frost, to stop 

 the dahlias and other outside flowers, 

 roses will undoubtedly clean up bet- 

 ter and the prices will be better. As- 

 ters are a thing of the past, but vio- 

 lets are coming in, and there always 

 is a good demand in this market for 

 violets. Orchids are selling pretty well. 

 We have two growers who are quite 

 successful with them. 



There has never been a better de- 

 mand for bulbs than thus far this fall. 

 The planting has begun and there is 

 every evidence that there 4s to be a 

 good business in perennials of all kinds. 

 Buddleia and abelia are two shrubs 

 that are growing rapidly in favor. 

 They are both practically ;«vergTeen 

 here and the former is fine for cut 

 flowers. Florists can find good use 

 for a few. "We frequently see sprays

two feet long on well grown shrubs. 

 Where they are not hardy, cuttings 

 can be rooted in the fall and carried 

 over in pots and set out every spring. 

 A plant out of a 4-inch pot set in 

 May will be five feet tall by fall, as 

 large in diameter, and will furnish 

 hundreds of sprays from the last of 

 June until frost. The abelia is one 

 of the best shrubs "We know for massing 

 against, foundations and in porch cor- 

 ners. It is also desirable for cemetery 

 use. 



Various Notes. 



Mclntyre Bros, are cutting some fine 

 yellow orchids. 



The Joy Floral Co. is cutting oroe 

 of the best dahlias ever grown rert 

 There are about an acre and a half 

 of them and the field was a blaz '. o' 

 bloom when I visited it October 1^' 



Those who are devoting glas;^ *" 

 growing lettuce are reaping a hai^'cs* 

 this fall, as they are getting 40 an<i 

 50 cents per dozen. 



The new auto delivery of Geny I'^os. 

 is a dandy and they say that it is * 

 good investment. 



The Hillcrest School Farm has abou* 

 finished digging gladioli and reports « 

 better crop than expected. Dahlia' 

 were too far gone for the rain? *"
