November 5, 1908. 



he has ordinary gumption he will find 

 a way to heat it with a stove and can 

 grow geraniulH«-tth^he joy of his heart. 

 As to growing lettuce, my neighbor 

 sows his early lettuce, and cabbage seed 

 also, about February 1, and finishes his 

 lettuce in a house covered with ordinary 

 hotbed sash and heated with a small 

 stove set in the middle of his house. He 

 takes off about three crops. It is grown 

 and marketed in flats and helps quite a 

 little in keeping a man busy at that sea- 

 son of the year. It is not likely that he or 

 I will ever have any other way of heat- 

 ing our houses and we do not know, 

 practically, any other\y,ay. I should 

 add that he seldom keeps a fire all win- 

 ter and rarely starts one before Feb 

 ruary 1. F. P. Aveuy. 



COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



The Market. 



Trade has been good the last two 

 weeks, with a good supply of stock com- 

 ing in. Mums take the lead and are 

 confing in heavily, but seem to clean up 

 nicely from day to day and there have 

 been no signs of a glut so far. There 

 have been some fine Appleton in the last 

 week or so, which have been as good as 

 a good many exhibition blooms. Alice 

 Byren, Pink and White Ivory, Marie 

 Liger, Dr. Enguehard, AdeUa and a few 

 Bonnaflfons are in now, and all are show- 

 ing up well. 



Eoses and carnations are coming in 

 quite heavily now and move better than 

 was expected during the mum rush. While 

 prices are not fancy, they have been mov- 

 ing at a good average. The most of the 

 carnations are coming with good Stems 

 and the crop is getting heavier every 

 day now, Boses are fine and also plen- 

 tiful, outside of red, which is still 

 scarce. Killarney is moving finely and 

 seems to please the public in general. 

 Violets are more plentiful, but are not 

 up to the standard, as the stems are 

 rather short and flowers rather small. 

 Greens are still rather scarce here. 



Various Notes. 



At the meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 October 27, it was decided to have a 

 small mum show at the next meeting, 

 which will be held November 10. Each 

 member is going to bring a few good 

 ones, and when they are all together 

 there will probably be a good showing. 

 There will be an open meeting, with 

 music, singing, etc. The dance to be 

 given by the club November 18, in the 

 new K. P. hall, will no doubt be a suc- 

 cess and there will be a nice decoration 

 put up by the boys. 



The Munk Floral Co. is cutting loads 

 of mums now, as well as roses and carna- 

 tions. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has been 

 cutting some extra fine Appleton mums, 

 about as fine as ever seen on this mar- 

 ket. They were of good size and had 

 nice, clean foliage to the very bottom of 

 the stems, and they have found ready 

 sale. 



Sherman Stephens reports business 

 good at Greenlawn. 



Mrs. E. M. Krauss is able tb be 

 around the store again, but is still very 

 weak. J. M. 



Malden, Mass. — James J. McCormack 

 is building a number of greenhouses on 

 his property at the corner of Adams 

 street and the boulevard.

Dear Sirs:— If the Morehead Return Trap cost ten times what you ask for it, it would 

 be cheap when time, labor and cost of repairs are consid- 

 ered, in comparison with the steam pump I had installed 

 before Retting your Trap. I canDot praise it too highly and 

 I recommend it to everyone who talks steam. Yours,
