The Florists' Review 



91 



"There's a lot said about the 

 weather, but there's never 

 anything done about it." 



— Kipling. 



But the wide-awake florist need 

 not care what the condition of 

 the weather outdoors if the 

 "weather" in the greenhouse is 

 0. K. And it's sure to be 

 ' risht when the heating system is 

 hooked up to the

Then the even temperature so 

 necessary for the tender, young 

 growing things is certain. You 

 are certain, too, of perfectly 

 drained steam lines and end to 

 all condensation troubles. As a 

 saver of time, fuel and labor there 

 is nothing to equal the Morehead.

with the whole commercial world. ' ' The 

 railways," it is said, "are just about 

 to close their fiscal year. All expendi- 

 tures now made will increase the cost 

 of operating the roads for the fiscal 

 year ending June 30. In order to keep 

 expenditures down, . railways are not 

 buying anything which they do not 

 need immediately. However, after July 

 1 the immediate necessity to influence 

 the annual balance sheet will not be 

 present and the railroads can buy with 

 a little more freedom. It is expected 

 that the railroads shortly after July 1 

 will begin a considerable movement to 

 store coal, because they appreciate that, 

 with the belated buying this year, the 

 fall rush for coal will be almost un- 

 precedented." It is also stated that 

 the railroads have good hope of receiv- 

 ing, by July 1, the desired permission to 

 increase their freight rates, and will 

 then begin such an accelerated move- 

 ment of freight as will give an impetus 

 to all lines of business. 



Now, though this article is sincerely 

 meant to be a narration of facts and 

 not a fable, yet, like a fable, it points 

 a moral. And the moral, so plain that 

 it does not need to be put in words, is 

 pointed straight at the florist who has 

 not yet filled his coal bins. Of course, 

 the coal men's forecasts may not prove 

 to be correct, but it seems clear even

to the uninitiated that coal is not at 

 all likely to be cheaper after July 1 

 than it is now. 



One of the authorities already quoted 

 from has this to say about the market 

 for smokeless coals at Chicago and vi- 

 cinity: "The smokeless coal market is 

 in a most peculiar position. There is a 

 steady supply of both first-class and 

 off-grade smokeless coal for sale in this 

 market at $1 per ton or even less. How- 

 ever, the retail dealers appreciate that 

 this low-priced coal cannot take care 

 of all of Chicago's demands throughout 

 the year. Chicago retailers, therefore, 

 are pinning their faith to the larger 

 companies which are asking circular 

 price of $1.25 for mine run. They are 

 taking their regular quotas of coal on

contract and, what is more to the point, 

 are basing their prices on circular fig- 

 ures rather than cutting them down to 

 the basis of price of the off-grade coal 

 or the demurrage coal. This means that 

 the Chicago market is reasonably 

 strong, even though the volume of 

 smokeless business is small."
