 on <iommiBsion seeds this year were far 

 beyond last year's. James Gallagher

PITTSBUBGH. 



The Market. 



The month of August closed about 

 like any other August, and September 

 has started out with enough stock to 

 do a fine business if it could all be 

 sold. The only scarcity is in valley and 

 white roses, but these will come along 

 in a few days. There are no carna- 

 tions, but gladioli and asters are plen- 

 tiful and occasionally some one sends 

 along a bunch of early chrysanthe- 

 mums, for which there is no demand. 



The wholesale houses all seem fairly 

 active, but there is not much evidence 

 of an increase in orders. The retailers 

 ■ay the outdoor flowers are still taking 

 eare of the regular customers and they 

 are still depending on funeral work for 

 business. The torn up condition of 

 our streets almost puts some of our re- 

 tailers out of business and it will be 

 October before they have finished. 



Various Not^s. 



Almost everyone has had his vacation 

 and is trying to get settled to business 

 except Harvey Sheaf, manager for 

 Mrs. E. A. Williams, who is in Phila- 

 delphia and New York and goes from 

 there to San Francisco via New Or- 

 leans, hoping to return by the time 

 trade is nicely under way. 



The employees of Bandolph 8c Mc- 

 Clements, including the ladies, were the 

 guests of Walter Breitenstein, one eve- 

 ning last week, at his bungalow at 

 Sandy Creek and the event was a corn 

 roast and an outdoor dinner. All re- 

 port a splendid time. 



P. S. Randolph & Sons have been 

 making a feature of gladioli this 

 summer. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is 

 ■hipping large quantities of field- 

 grown carnation plants. Clarke. 



EVANSVILLE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business has been good, with plenty 

 of flowers to supply the demand. The 

 new crop of carnations is coming in 

 and the flowers are good. Dahlias and 

 gladioli are plentiful. Hoses are in big 

 crop. A little fire was needed August 

 30 and 31, as the temperature dropped 

 to 47 degrees, the coldest weather we 

 ever had in August. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons are having 

 a good cut of roses and outdoor stock, 

 with a good demand. Their mums and 

 carnations are coming along well. Fred 

 Chapman, of this firm, has had as visi- 

 tors his .daughter, Mrs. J. E. Rhodes, 

 and son, of the Capital City Floral Co., 

 Madison, Wis. During their stay they 



saw considerable to interest them. On 

 one "occasion Mr. Niednagel "gave them 

 the use of one of the Niednagel ma- 

 chines and a trip to Newburg was 

 made. The party called on Otto 

 Kuebler and inspected his greenhouses. 



Royston & Fenton are cutting a nice 

 crop of roses. They have discarded 

 Bridesmaid and planted' Killarney and 

 Ward in its place. 



The Blackman Floral Co. is cutting 

 the first crop of indoor carnations. The 

 carnations in the field are giving good, 

 salable flowers. The rose crop is heavy, 

 fine American Beauty and Killarney 

 being cut. The newer roses are doing 

 well. Business is good. This firm 

 furnished a large number of bouquets 

 of roses for a local shoe firm, which 

 were given to its patrons. ' 



Lunkenheimer & Blackman, a queen 's- 

 ware firm, was recently incorporated for 

 $25,000. The members of the firm are 

 Mr. Lunkenheimer, James Blackman 

 and George Blackman. E. L. F. 



Joplin, Mo. — The Joplin -Galena 

 Greenhouse Co. has filed articles of in- 

 corporation, with a paid in capital of 

 $15,000, divided into shares of $1 each.
