OUTDOOR FLOWERS. 



I should like to grow outdoor flowers 

 for cutting, for shipment to the Chicago 

 or St. Louis wholesale markets next sum- 

 mer. What should I grow? I have a 

 small piece of ground adjoining the 

 greenhouses and last season grew about 

 one-eighth of an acre of sweet peas, but 

 prices were not profitable, although the 

 quality is good and will ship in excel- 

 lent condition. What could I grow to 

 get more money? J. J. M. 



A grower located where he could ship 

 to either Chicago or St. Louis would nec- 

 essarily be at a disadvantage competing 

 with the growers of outdoor flowers who 

 are close enough to town so they can 

 personally deliver their stock, fresh, at 

 the wholesale houses each morning. As 

 there are enough such growers who sup- 

 ply either of the markets mentioned, the 

 prospect is not an encouraging one. The 

 only possibility is in producing a su- 

 perior grade of stock. Outdoor sweet 

 peas ship poorly and it seldom pays to 

 ship asters any distance. Fancy gladioli 

 usually bring fair prices, but it means 

 quite an investment for bulbs. R. F. D. 



WATER ANALYSIS. 



In the following table I give an anal- 

 ysis of two different samples of water. 

 The water marked "Mine" comes from 

 a soft coal shaft; the water marked 

 * ' Pump ' ' comes from a drilled well below 

 the coal vein. Which supply of vrater 

 would be more suitable for plants grow- 

 ing under glass, such as roses, carnations, 

 etc., or would either kind be fit for such 



use? Onlna 



Per U.S. Oal. 

 Chemical Properties — Mine. Pamp. 



Silica and silt 1.2 0.7 



Alumina and iron 8 .5 



Lime as sulphate 32.0 2.0 



Ume as carbonate None 14.0 



Sodlnm sulphate 8.5 None 



Ma^esium carbonate 9.2 2.2 



Sodium chloride (common salt) ... 1.2 .0 



Total solids 47!» 20Jo 



Both waters are faintly alkaline. There 

 is no free acid present, all sulphuric acid 

 having been neutralized with lime and 

 soda. J. W. 



Neither sample of water, according to 

 the analysis, contains any injurious prin- 

 ciple save the common salt, and since the 

 one marked "Pupip" contains only a 

 fraction of the amount contained in the 

 other, everything considered, the * * Pump * * 

 water should be more desirable for green- 

 house use. L. C. C.
