 plenty of air, but be shaded from the

 nu)rc carefully. It is unwise to give too 

 much root moisture, (ir the jilants will 

 sulfer. J'^ern liber, with a little sphag- 

 num, makes a good roiiting medium.

The Market 



Last wef^< offered all varieties oi

 llower business contimu's quiet; son 

 If deail. ()ne retailer said the oiiK 

 of life in it was the funeral trade, 

 tiinately, perhaps, for all concerne 

 slii|iiiieiits arriving are limited. .Mi 

 the roses are short-stemnuMl. Son 

 them are so short they cannot be, 

 at all. 



(iood carnatiiins are in demand 

 worth money. Most of them are, ,\i. 

 ever, not good. .\ewport sends us in,. 

 good Peauties and we smul Ne.vpoi i,, 

 cream of our Pour llunilrcd. 



I'lvery color and (juality of gla.i ns 

 is here, with America still holding i-t 

 hoiioi's and best value. Common I :,:{< 

 are fortunate to command 5<l cents per 

 hundred. Thousands are cleaned up lor 

 less dailv. Asters are equally over;' uu. 

 dant. 



Lilies are in better demand at In-mr 

 juices. Sweet peas are fortunat< to 

 bring .'{ cents a bunch. A few of ilu- 

 best white, long-stemmed stock comiiKiM.b 

 a little more. Orchids grow scarcer md 

 more valuable.
