The Market 



The past week's business was very 

 regular, with a heavy demand for Beau- 

 ties, valley and the better grades of 

 roses and asters. The poorer grades 

 had no call. A killing frost September 

 21 destroyed nearly all the asters, 

 gladioli, cosmos, dahlias, etc., but with 

 carnations and chrysanthemums coming 

 in their shortage will not be felt. 



The quality of roses is rapidly im- 

 proving. Very little mildewed stock is 

 in evidence but short-stemmed rases are 

 abundant and are bought at one's own 

 figure. American Beauty roses are fin© 

 and many more of the better grades 

 could be sold. The demand for Harrisii 

 and longiflorum lilies is heavy. There 

 are not nearly enough to go around. 

 Among the best carnations arriving 

 now are Enchantress, Joost and Flora 

 Hill. Great quantities of short- 

 stemmed white (outdoor stock) find 

 their way to the dump. Reports in 

 general indicate that chrysanthemums 

 will be of excellent quality and very 

 plentiful in this section. 



Varioti$^otC84 



I spent a day at Bakerstowil recently. 

 The place of the Pittsburg Rose & Car- 

 nation Co. is in the usual pink of con- 

 dition. All stock has been planted for 

 some time and the plants look very 

 promising. About 40.000 chrysanthe- 

 mums grown at this place are as fine 

 as one could wish to see. They cut 

 their first Bergmann early last week. 

 Roses and carnations are made a spe- 

 cialty and they produce the gilt-edged 



stock, too. Their roses are all grafted 

 stock. 



The first shipment of carnations from 

 M. C. Dunlevy & Sons was received last 

 week; the blooms were fine. 



Randolph & McClements were kept 

 busy with several decorations last week 

 and considerable funeral work last 

 Saturday and Sunday. 



F. Breitenbaugh & Bro., who are the 

 largest growers of fuchsias in this 

 vicinity, have their place in tip-top 

 shape and the prospects for a heavy 

 cut of roses and chrysanthemums is 

 good. John said his Little Beauty 

 fuchsia is holding its own, with an in- 

 crease of sale each year. 



G. & J. W. Ludwig furnished the 

 bulbs and seeds for the Allegheny city 

 park system. The contract was a good 

 one. 



Wm. Loew, our local "green goods" 

 man, I is returned from his annual trip

Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Elliott are home 

 again from their cruise along the New 

 England coast. 



The store rooms of T. M. Ulam & Co., 

 Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., Geddis & 

 Blind Bros., and Breitenstein & Flemm 

 are receiving their usual autumn coat 

 of paint. Hoo-Hoo. 



PROPAGATING HOUSE. 



Our potting shed runs east and west. 

 Our greenhouses extend south from the 

 potting shed. Can you advise us as to 

 the best place to construct a propagat- 

 ing house, on the north of the potting 

 shed or on the east, south or west of 

 the greenhouses? T. S. C. 



As your potting shed runs east and 

 west and your houses run south from 

 it, we would say there is no question 

 where the propagating house should be, 

 viz., running south from the shed and 

 parallel to your east house. If easy to 

 make a good substantial gutter, then it 

 might be attached to the east house. 

 If not handy to do that, then keep it 

 away a few feet. 



Although not asked for, allow me to 

 say that an equal span house eleven 

 feet wide makes an ideal propagating 

 house, with all the pipes beneath the 

 boardcd-up bench. One side is used 

 for propagating, the other for the 

 potted-off stuff for the first two weeks 

 after potting. A 12-inch board on 

 each side should be hinged to either 

 swing up or down in cold weather to 

 give heat to the house. In mild 

 weather you need no top heat and little 

 fire. W. S.
