STEEL COMPANY'S GREENHOUSE. 



The r.etlihdiem Steel Co. ha< erected 

 a r bar greenhouse, 10x250 feet, on the 

 coiiip;iny's ;;rounils at South JJetlilehem, 

 I 'a. The idea is to beautify the grounds 

 and the building. Fidly an acre? of lawn 

 and garden has been laid out around the 

 greenhouse, where ash heaps formerly 

 dwelt. This is only the beginning. Wil- 

 li;im .'. M.-ingan, who is in charg(\ will 

 grow palms, ferns, bedding jdaiits .and 

 cut llowers. mainly his belo\ ed c;irn;i- 

 tion. Window lioxes are to be fdled, 

 and in winter vases of llowers are to 

 brighten tlit^ oflices. The aim is to make 

 ■attractive both outside and inside of 

 tli(^ place where so many people spend 

 their workinj; hours. Phil.

Px'utel & Frederick are showing some- 

 thing new in the way of a miniature 

 garden. The gar<len is about two feet 

 scjuare and made of zinc in the center. 

 There is sonu; water to represent a lalce. 

 Small flowers and grass are used as n 

 liorder for the lake. The roots of car- 

 rots, parsley and various other vege- 

 tables ,are used, and when these begin 

 to sfirout, a pleasing effect is given to 

 the whole, which has the ajipearance 

 of a. .lapanese garden. It is got up 

 to retnil at .*•_'. R. .[. S.

The Market. 



1 p to the present we lia\e e-caped 

 the .'inniial visit of J.ack Frost; con.sc- 

 quently outside stock is still on the 

 market, and while not of the same 

 quality ;is indoor stock, it considerably 

 lowers the jirices. especially of the bet- 

 ter grades. Dahlias are on the wane, 

 and if we do not have frost they will 

 be conqdetidy Idoonied out by another 

 we.'k. (Jiijiiitities of outside niums have 

 ma.le their appearance and are of fairly 

 ;:ood (pi.-ility, but are meeting \vith a 

 poor s.'ile. Business has not been brisk, 

 ;iiii| ;i~. tiie ^iqipl}' of stock was large 

 ;ind had to lie mo\ed, the street boys 

 \\<'!e in their glory. Thousands of 

 id-ev. c.'iinations, mums and dahlias 

 weie -old to them at low firjures. There

 cip,'ill\ ( hrvxdora. White ones are not 

 SI. plentiful, Init are suflicient for all 

 demands. The demand for good pink 

 inum< was tli(^ only redeeniing feature 

 of the week. .\s there was not a lar"-e 

 .supply -if these, tlu'v wen^ soon "a 

 scare article. The stores, s-'emingly, 

 .are afraid to carry a large -iipply,"' a-'
