The Market 



The past week was a very quiet one, 

 outdoor flowers Superseding in a great 

 measure those grown indoors and the 

 poor quality of roses being one of the 

 canaea. Carnations, especially white, 

 are in good condition and sell fairly 

 wdL Lawson is not in as good a form as 

 formerly, caused by. the excessive heat. 

 iPutBperitj is very good. Beauties have 

 alnuMt disappeared. What are coming 

 in are of very poor quality. TJhatenay 

 oa foirly good, but Brides and Maids 

 are very small and are used only in 

 funeral work. Golden Gates are very 

 aeldom seen now. Sweet pws, coreop- 

 ma, in fact all outdoor stuff is here in 

 over-abundance and prices are as low 

 -as can possibly be. Trade is gradually 

 falling off and it will be only a matter 

 of a couple of weeks when we can take 

 vonr vacation. 



Various Notes. 



"Bome very fine mums have been 

 planted by some of the growers and if 

 the trade this fall can be gaged by the 

 amount planted there will be an im- 

 mense business. 



W. J. Barnes is deep in work these 

 days. He has a very large amount of 

 room given over to chrysanthemums 

 and all are doing well. 



fi. 8. Brown & Sons are the only 



Sowers now sending in good roses, 

 though short-stemmed, the buds are 

 large and of good color. 



Ed. Bunyar, of Independence, is send- 

 ing in some of the finest sweet peas 

 on the market and is finding a ready 

 market for plant stock. 



D. Freudenthal did a large amount of 

 funeral work last week, having all he 

 eould do to handle it, also some large 

 orders for wedding decorations. 



Nelson Jarrett has the finest Begonia 

 Bex to be seen in Kansas City and has 

 a targe collection which he is bringing 

 •n for the flower show this fall. 



John M. Fitch, of Erie, Kan., with 

 the Barteldes Seed Co., of Lawrence, was 

 a visitor here last week. Id^. Fitch in- 

 tends to build a range of houses at his 

 ihome town and intends to enter the 

 wholesale market with a general line. 



We understand a new firm has taken 

 the range of houses formerly occupied 

 by John Vesey. We are not acquainted 

 with the members of the firm and as 

 yet cannot fully state what their line 

 will be. 



C. A. Doty, of 1125 Main street, has 

 opened one of the finest cut flower es- 

 tablishments in this city and will carry 

 a full line of all that is needed to han- 

 dle retail trade. Mr. Doty had a grand 

 opening last Thursday, when he gave 

 away over 4,000 carnations to his 

 friends. We bespeak for him a large 

 share of the business. 



Mrs. Beiderman, out on Prospect 

 street, is sending in some fine Shasta 

 daisies and reports a very satisfactory 

 business the past season. Narcissus. 



NEW CASTLE. PA. 



Many window glass factories from 

 the Indiana natural gas district are re- 

 turning to this vicinity because of the 

 failure of the gas, which took them 

 west several years ago. The American 

 Window Glass Co. is preparing to re- 

 open the Lawrence and Shenango plants 

 with machine blowers. These were pur- 

 chased by the trust and closed down. 

 During the time they were operated 

 they employed 1,500 men, and the 

 claim has been made by agents for the 

 American company that when they are 

 fully equipped with the "iron man," 

 as the machine blower is called, fully 

 2,000 men will be employed. 



It is expected that the work of 

 equipping the factories with the ma- 

 chine wUl be started during July and 

 that when the September fire is started 

 they will be ready to operate. 



It is the general opinion among glass 

 men in the Pittsburg district that prac- 

 tically all of the big factories now lo- 

 cated in Indiana will be brought back 

 to this end of Pennsylvania, as the gas 

 supply has almost entirely failed in the 

 western state. 



NORWICH, CONN.
