The Market. 



Business since the beginning of this 

 month, especially in pot plants, has 

 been by no means what it ought to be. 

 Outside of a limited sale of cut flowers 

 and designs for various occasions, there 

 is practically nothing doing. The war 

 in Europe and the closing of nearly all 

 the big ports on the other side are be- 

 ginning to show their effects here. Yet 

 there is a faint hope of the cessation 

 of hostilities among the warring powers. 

 Bermuda lilies, Roman hyacinths and 

 narcissi have arrived in small ship- 

 ments, and nearly all of the first-named 

 have been planted, whereas the others 

 are held back for planting, which be- 

 gins here about the middle of Septem- 

 ber. The aster crop will soon be fin- 

 ished, but young stock of new and 

 standard varieties of roses, as well as 

 single tuberoses, are plentiful and of 

 good quality. Chrysanthemums are do- 

 ing well, due principally to the cooler 

 weather, coupled with frequent showers 

 of rain. 



The stock of foliage and flowering 

 plants grown here for the fall and win- 

 ter trade is in quantity and quality 

 equal, if not superior, to that of last 

 year. The whole situation here since 

 the outbreak of war on the other side 

 of the Atlantic teaches us one lesson: 

 Try your utmost to be independent in 

 every line of our business. 



Various Notes. 



A recent visit to the big place of 

 Abele Bros, found great activity and 

 some fine results in changing their 

 chrysanthemums to new soil. The gen- 

 eral stock for fall and winter is large 

 and good. Especially fine is a lot of 

 young arecas in tubs. 



Henry Cook has a good supply of mar- 

 ketable stock planted out for the com- 

 ing season. Chrysanthemums, bou- 

 vardias and Asparagus plumosus are 

 showing progress, and his stock of 

 southern shrubbery is as fine as ever, 



Henry Kraak divides his time to the 

 best advantage, attending both to his 

 extensive landscape business and the

growing of the proper stock at the 

 nursery, which is always good. His 

 mums are better than ever. 



Peter Kaul, .Sr., is seldom to be 

 found at home, but Frau Kaul sees 

 that everything is attended to while 

 Peter attends to the extensive outside 

 business. The entire place is now de- 

 voted to the growing of market stock, 

 while a large quantity of mums is 

 grown on new soil away from the nur- 

 sery. His plants and flowers find buy- 

 ers all the year around. 



.T. A. Newsham 's entire stock is fine. 

 He devotes his attention to those plants 

 and cut flowers that are bound to 

 bring the most money, such as orchids, 

 roses and mums. The two last-named 

 are grown inside and outdoors as long 

 as they bring a flower. 



Henry Rehf eld 'a place is surely im- 

 proving. Such outdoor cut flowers as 

 roses, asters and tuberoses are selling 

 well. His mums, all outdoor grown, 

 are fine, and his extensive cemetery 

 Avork more than makes both ends meet.
