The Market 



There is not a great deal of life in 

 business, but a great deal of stock is be- 

 ing disposed of. Prices, even on the best 

 grade of stock, are not as high as grow- 

 ■ers would like to see them. We have 

 had several slight frosts but a heavy one 

 is what we need tO put business on a 

 good footing. 



Chrysanthemums now hold the boards 

 and all other flowers have to take a back 

 seat, more or less. There are very few 

 orders for mums now that cannot be 

 filled and there are some varieties that 

 have to be pushed pretty hard to make 

 them move. Pink, white and yellow va- 

 rieties are now to be had, but as yet 

 nothing in the fancy varieties is coming 

 in. 



Eoses are coming very nicely. The 

 percentage of good stock is much larger. 

 There is not so much mildew and the 

 general appearance is much better. Beau- 

 ties are in larger supply and of better 

 •quality. Some very good Perles are com- 

 ing, which sell well in this market. Car- 

 nations, too, are increasing in quantity 

 and improving in quality. A few dahlias 

 and gladioli are still seen, also cosmos. 



Violets are a glut and have to be 

 moved for almost nothing to get rid of 

 them. It is still too early for this flower 

 to do well in this market. Harrisii, cal- 

 las and valley are in moderate supply 

 and sell well. 



Various Notes. 



The committee in charge of the trip 

 to the E. G. Hill plant at Richmond re- 

 port October 27 as the day selected. Mr. 

 Hill writes that the mums vrill be just 

 right then. A good crowd is expected 

 to go via the C. C. & T. R. R., leaving 

 at 7:55 a. m. This is over the new road 

 to Richmond, and besides giving those 

 •who gq a chance to see another part of 

 Indiana it gives a. longer time in Rich- 

 mond. As it requires ten in the party 

 to procure reduced rates we want all 

 who possibly can to go with us. The 

 trip will surely be worth while. 



J. A. Peterson is disposing of a lot of 

 plants and palms at auction with consid- 

 erable success. 



Chas. Jones and Mr. Brooks are mak- 

 ing preparations to open a retail store in 

 Avondale. This is a very thriving 

 suburb and already has two stores that 

 are doing good business. 



Mrs. Sherman Thomas, of Fort Thom- 

 as, has gone to Kansas City to visit her 

 parents. 



E. E. Hall, of Clyde, 0., is with W. 

 K. Partridge, of Lockland.

KZVI) WORDS KEYER DIE. 



We consider them the best on the market. 

 We have 260 lbs in use. — Good & Reese Co., 

 Springfield, O. 



We have found them flrst-class, the best we 

 ever used for glazing. — E. G. Hill Co., Bicb- 

 mond, Ind. 



I bave used all the different kinds of points 

 on the market. I consider yours the most 

 reliable, handy, easy to drive, easy to ex- 

 tract. — Chas. Scrim, Ottawa, Canada. 



I must say your Zinc Points have given 

 great satisfaction. I have over 125 lbs. oo 

 my bouses, and feel Justified in stating they 

 are the best point on the market. — W. K. 

 Partridge, Lockland, O. 



In our 26 years' experience with glazing 

 points of all kinds, your Zinc Points are the 

 best to date. — Grant-Wilson Floral Co., Cleve- 

 land, O. 



We think they are the best things we have 

 ever used to hold glass on greenhouses.— 

 W. A. Hammond, Richmond, Va. 



They have outlasted all others used, there- 

 fore are better and cheaper. — Theo. F. Beck- 

 ert, Glenfield, Pa. 



The first lot we had from you two years ago 

 are still holding their own, and intend to do 

 so for years to come. They are "fine as silk." 

 — Butz Brothers, New Castle, Pa. 



We never used anything for the purpose 

 that has given such good satisfaction. — Phoenix 

 Nursery Co., Bloomlngton, 111. 



I can truthfully say your Zinc Points are 

 the best I ever used. They are easily driven 

 and withdrawn and are stiff. Being straight 

 on one side, they can be driven accurately; 

 consequently the breakage of glass is very 

 small. I bave some in use four years, and 

 they are still in place as good as new. — W. 

 S. Roebeck, Fort Wayne, Ind.
