The Market. 



Pink and white roses are plentiful. 

 Good carnations are scarce. Asters are 

 plentiful and gladioli are of good quality, 

 the supply is large and the demand 

 good. Prices range from 3 to 6 cents 

 each. Business in general is rather quiet 

 at present. 



Trip to Clay Center. 



A visit to Clay Center, Kan., found 

 Chas. Humfeld busy building two large 

 greenhouses 30x200 each, one for roses 

 and the other for carnations. The rose 

 house is to have solid benches with con- 

 crete sides. The gutters rest on 4-inch 

 pipes seven and one-half feet tall 

 set in concrete. His stock plants of 

 verbenas in the field are looking fine 

 and, judging from the quantity he has, 

 he will be able to supply more than 

 half the United States with cuttings. 

 His carnations are the best he has had 

 for years. They have had plenty of 

 rain this season. 



S. D. Brant was also busy planting his 

 last house in roses. They are very fine 

 this year. Part of one large house is 

 devoted to stock plants of pelargoniums 

 planted in soil. Mr. Brant has quite a 

 large space in rooted cuttings of these. 

 He also grows vegetables out of doors. 



Variottt Notes. 



D. Frendenthal reports business as 

 quiet with him and collections slow. 



Mr. Smith, of the Monroe greenhouses, 

 has made a good many repairs and his 

 place is very neat and clean. He has 

 a large quantity of ferns planted in the 

 bench. He is now getting ready to house 

 his carnations. 



M. E. Chandler, of Argentine, Kan., 

 is bringing in some fine gladiolus. He is 

 a nurseryman, but grows large quanti- 

 ties of asters and gladioli for this market. 



W. H. H. 



Lawrence, Mass. — Charles E. Wingate 

 returned recently from Birch Island, Me., 

 where Mrs. Wingate and other members 

 of the family are spending the summer. 

 A report that the party had been dan- 

 gerously ill from eating toadstools proves 

 to be untrue. The illness, Mr. Wingate 

 says, was not serious and was not caused 

 in the manner stated.

 make the shipment a car lot and so take advantage of lower car load freight rates.
