COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



The extremely hot weather we have 

 had lately has been hard on stock, both 

 in the houses and outdoors. Every- 

 thing is burning up outside, as we have 

 had little rain, with the mercury around 

 100 degrees in the shade. A few days 

 more without rain will leave crops 

 badly crippled. It is the hottest 

 weather ever known here_ at this date. 



Eoses have been extremely poor, as 

 they are almost burned up. "While quite 

 a few are coming in, the quality is 

 such that they are hard to move at any 

 pric6. We expect some stock shortly 

 from rested plants, when we hope the 

 quality will be better. Carnations are 

 holding their own better than anything 

 else; great quantities are coming in 

 and the demand for them is heavy, ow- 

 ing to the poor quality of roses, etc. 

 Some growers are beginning to tear out 

 their carnations and that will cut down 

 the supply. Sweet peas are not plenti- 

 ful and tile quality of most of them is 

 poor, though there are some good ones 

 among them. There is a good call for 

 valley, owing to the large number of 

 weddings. 



The plant season is about over and 

 everything was cleaned up nicely. Some 

 growers say they have nothing left for 

 stock and are looking for young stock 

 to replenish their supply. There are 

 still a few stragglers coming in late 

 for porch boxes, etc., but a few days 

 more will see that line of work at an 

 end. 



Various Notes. 



A new flower store has been opened 

 on South Fourth street, in the market 

 district. The store is run under the 

 name of Howard & Co., and they are 

 handling mostly cut flowers. 



Sherman Stephens reports heavy busi- 

 ness in bedding stock, vases, etc. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is tear- 

 ing out some of the carnations and ex- 

 pects to replant part of the carnation 

 range in the next two weeks.

HOW ABOUT YOUR EMPTY BENCHES? 



After Decoration Day you have empty benches. Will it pay you to have 

 them empty? Take a few minutes to think and consider which will pay the 

 best. Chrysanthemums? No, I know something better. I plant a bench or 

 -two with asters, in July, and in August I cut them. That gives me time to re- 

 fill my benches with a fine lot of fall and holiday plants, such as cyclamen, 

 ferns and poinsettias, roses and other plants suitable for my fall business. I 

 am going to write an order right away to Godfrey Aschmann, Philadelphia, 

 for his GIANT CREGO ASTER. It is the best early branching cut aster in the world. 



Yes, we have it for sale in four separate colors ; ^,000 of them in white, 

 purple, rose and pink, very strong plants, 2>4-inch pots, $3.00 100; $26.00 1000.
