cialties and they already have filled 

 several miles of them. 



J. M. Johnston, of McKeesport, 

 started in the business without any 

 knowledge of it whatever, but, with 

 his energy and up-to-date methods, he 

 has built up a trade that would be a 

 credit to a much larger city. 



We recently have heard from our 

 old friend, John Bader, who is living 

 at Cottage Grove, Ore. The climate 

 there has renewed his youth and he 

 is ten years younger. He is said to have 

 the most beautiful place in Cottage 

 Grove. De Forest Ludwig spent several 

 days with him. Clarke.

The Market. 



Trade for Mothers' day was heavy, 

 and everything in the way of a flower 

 was sold out. The dealers were not 

 much worried over the quantity of white 

 carnations, for as soon as these were 

 sold out the buying public took roses 

 and all other stock, so it is really not a 

 white carnation day any more, but a 

 regular flower day. 



Trade since then has fallen off in the 

 cut flowers, but has been heavy in 

 plants for bedding stock, window 

 boxes, porch boxes and hanging bas- 

 kets, with the call for geraniums in the 

 lead. It looks now as though there 

 would be a shortage for the Memorial 

 day trade, even with the majority of 

 the growers with a larger stock than 

 ever and several new concerns in the 

 field. 



Carnations are not as plentiful as 

 they were a while ago, as a great many 

 have been thrown out to make room 

 for spring stock. Roses are coming in 

 nicely and quality is good. A few of 

 the summer cuts aPe making their ap- 

 pearance on the market and the qual- 

 ity is fine. Beauties are more plenti- 

 ful, and the demand about cleans them 

 up right along. Miniature gladioli are 

 selling well and quantities of them are 

 used in funeral work, which has been 

 quite heavy. Valley is a little scarce, 

 as all the outdoor stock is gone. Lilies 

 have been quite scarce and at times it 

 has been hard to get enough to fill or- 

 ders. The weather has taken a de- 

 cided drop, which, no doubt, will have 

 a tendency to check the plant trade
