The Market. 



Conditions remain about the same as 

 last week. Mums are still a glut and 

 are selling cheap. Eoses are more 

 plentiful and everything seems to move 

 slo^yly. Quite a number of the downtown 

 florists are complaining about there being 

 little doing. 



Southern holly has arrived. This 

 week one of the Walnut street stores 

 had a large window elaborately deco- 

 rated with it, making the appearance of 

 Christmas. 



. Various Notes. 



A visit to the greenhouses of the 

 William Eock Flower Co. found every- 

 thing, as usual, neat and clean. They 

 are cutting quite a fine lot of roses. 

 Their carnations are looking well, but 

 the main crop will probably not be on 

 by Christmas. They also have a fine 

 l)ench of new seedling carnations of 

 their own. As they were not all in 



bloom, we could not say much about the 

 colors, but the growth looked strong 

 and healthy. They have no success with 

 the Lawson carnation, but gt'ow Nelson 

 Fisher in fine shape. They have four 

 houses 27x240 in carnations, and all are 

 in solid beds, and to see them will con- 

 vince anyone that this way of growing 

 is as good as on raised benches. They 

 are forcing about 500 valley each week. 

 They have fourteen men working on the 

 place and all seem to keep busy. 



To see Samuel Murray 's greenhouses 

 is a treat to anyone. It is a special 

 treat to see his fine Gloire de Lorraine 

 begonias. He has about 500, and all in 

 bloom and in excellent shape. Almost 

 any pan or pot would answer for a show 

 plant. Mr. Sharp, the grower, is proud 

 of his begonias, and truly he has a 

 right to be. They also have a house of 

 very fine Whitmani ferns. 



B. S. Brown, now over 70 years of 

 age, is as busy as any young man work- 

 ing among his plants. Their mums are 

 fine and large, but they are almost sold 



out, selling them mostly wholesale, sup- 

 jtlying the downtown stores. They have 

 some fine specimens of Pandanus 

 Voitchii, being the largest in the city. 



We found Nel?on Jarrett quite busy 

 j)lanting pansies. He says that he will 

 plant about 40,000. - His new coldframes 

 on the south side of his new greenhouse 

 make an ideal place for pansies. Hif 

 propagating bench is full of cuttings of 

 all kinds of plants. He now has plenty 

 of room for plants in the two new 

 large houses, and it will take him all 

 winter to fill them. The heating appa- 

 ratus is working splendidly. Mr. Jar- 

 rett did the building of the greenhouses 

 and also put in his own boilers and 

 piping. He has surely done well this 

 summer. 



Charles Humfeld, of Clay Center, Kan., 

 visited the florists of this city last week. 

 He also visited George M. Kellogg 's 

 place at Pleasant Hill, Mo. He was 

 accompanied by his grower, Budolph von 

 der Euhr, and Ed Humfeld, of this city. 

 They report a good time and a fine daj.
