of an ordinary walnut. Plant the pieces 

 a foot apart each way over the bed, 

 covering them to a depth of two inches. 

 In eight days give the bed a covering 

 of two inches of loam; then cover with 

 hay or straw and leave until mush- 

 rooms appear, which may be in five or 

 six weeks, but is sometimes longer. On 

 one occasion I waited seventeen weeks 

 and had a grand crop, so you must not 

 be of too nervous a temperament. When 

 watering is necessary, heat the water to 

 a temperature of 100 degrees. The less 

 watering needed the better. The ma- 

 nure when made up into beds should 

 be fairly moist. It should squeeze to- 

 gether without water oozing from it. 

 Dry manure is valueless. 



Mushrooms succeed best during the 

 winter months. Better not spawn be- 

 fore the middle or epd of September. 

 Close in your beds with boards and 

 burlap, to exclude air and light. You 

 will find mushroom culture interesting, 

 if less profitable than some magazine 

 writers have depicted it. C. W. 



SEDALIA, MO. 



Hail storms early in the morning 

 August 3 and August 5 damaged stock 

 in the field, such as gladioli, but broke 

 little glass in the houses of the Archias 

 Floral Co. or the State Fair Floral Co. 



The Sedalia Floral Co. expects to 

 complete its planting by August 15. 

 Cutting has already commenced on new 

 rose stock. Carnations planted in the 

 benches in Mky are yielding blooms. 

 The company has 5,000 mums to single 

 stem in fine condition. America and 

 Mrs. Francis King gladioli retail at 

 $2 per dozen. Funeral work has kept 

 the store help busy for the last three 

 weeks. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The supply of cut flowers has de- 

 creased and this prevented what would 

 otherwise have been a glut, as business 

 fell off even more than the supply. 

 Even the flowers which found their 

 way to market were offered at sacrifice 

 prices. Gladioli fell off in both quality 

 and quantity and only the best of them 

 were bohght. Asters are just between 

 seasons; Queen of the Market is about 

 over and* the later varieties are not yet 

 coming in any quantity. The best real-

ize only fair prices, while the short- 

 stemmed ones go begging. Boses are 

 of about the usual summer quality and 

 are in poor demand. Sweet peas are 

 passed by entirely and carnations are 

 conspicuous by their absence. There is 

 a fair demand for lilies, due to funeral 

 work, and a little valley is still being 

 moved. Outdoor flowers, such as phlox. 

 Golden Glow^ etc.^ are in little demand. 

 The stores oaly carry enough stock for 

 display purposes. The street fakers
