SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Shortage of Rote Plants. 



During the months of July and Aug- 

 ust long continued wet and cloudy 

 weather prevailed, to which reference 

 was then made in this correspondence. 

 This proved a prolific cause of fungus in 

 the propagating frames of many rose 

 growers in this section, all of whom de- 

 pend upon favorable summer weather 

 for the success of their crops, and the 

 inevitable consequences now are appar- 

 ent. While going the rounds in course 

 of regular business, incidentally noticing 

 the benches on which the bulk of the 

 season's crop of young roses is in pots, 

 and conversing with the growers in 

 charge, it is found that the percentage 

 of losses has been exceptionally heavy. 

 A number of the catalogue firms which 

 offered surplus stocks last season al- 

 ready are in the market as buyers, and 

 will undoubtedly continue purchasing 

 until next summer. In order to obtain 

 an approximate idea as to the extent of 

 the shortage, the subject having natu- 

 rally come up for discussion, an informal 

 poll was taken at the October meeting 

 of the Springfield Florists' Club. As 

 compared with laat season, reports from 

 growers present, representing practically 

 all concerns in the Springfield-Urbana 

 district, show an average shortage of 

 about thirty-five per cent. Since this dis- 

 trict produces seventy-five per cent or 

 more of the shipping size of rose plants 

 grown in this country, this shortage is 

 sure to be felt before the approach of 

 spring. Far-seeing buyers already have 

 placed heavy orders, and others are mak- 

 ing up their want lists considerably 

 ahead of the usual time, while the fellow 

 who habitually waits for bargain coun- 

 ter prices at surplus stock sales in the 

 spring certainly will experience diflSculty 

 in covering his wants, even at full list 

 prices. 



Current G)nunent 



A slight fall of snow on October 10, 

 coming before frost had appeared, was 

 a phenomenon not heretofore observed 

 oy pioneers in this locality. 



At the farm of the National Peony 

 Co., a splendid stock of plants has been 

 grown, including a large variety of de- 

 sirable sorts. Ward Welch is in charge 

 and the product is being marketed ex- 

 tensively by The Good & Reese Co. 



At the fall meetings of the club sev- 

 eral members have made mention of that 

 thirsty feeling, which has seemingly pre- 

 vailed since the summer picnic, and sug- 

 gested that the entertainment committee 

 should get into action. However, In gen- 

 tlemanly deference to the respectable 

 minority of drys, it was decided that
