 in bud and bloom, and will flower in fine shape during July,^^ August. We have a fine lot of blue Hydrangeas, 

 as well as pink. Plants are in splendid shape for immediate' !B», and will flower during July and August— at a time 

 of the year when they are in the greatest demand. We can furnish these plants in ordinary butter tubs at $2.00 and 

 $3.00 each. Plants in new cedar tubs, painted green, with handles, as follows : Well budded plants in 14-inch tubs, 

 $3.00 each; 16-inch tubs, (4.00 and $5.00 each.

 LILIUN HARRISII 



(The Bermuda Easter Lily) 



We offer a selected and carefully grown stock of the original pure Harrisii. There are only one or two lots of 

 bulbs on the island as good as the stock that we offer. We take pleasure in offering this stock, because it will be 

 found to be very superior to the average stock that is generally offered. This is one of the healthiest and cleanest lots, 

 and will give much better satisfaction than the stock usually obtainable. Our customers who had Harrisii from us 

 last year stated it was the best they had received in years. We have only a limited stock, which we are offering; and 

 when stock is exhausted we shall have no more to offer this season. Fine selected bulbs, 6/7-inch, 350 to the case, 

 $16.00 per case, or full 1000 lots at $45.00 per 1000; 7/9-inch, 200 to the case, $17.00 per case, or full 1000 lots at $80.00 

 -;per 1000; 9/11-inch, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case, or full 1000 lots at $175.00 per 1000.

Vegetable Forcing. 



FEBTIUZEB FOB CUCUMBEBS. 



Can you give me the formula for the 

 ideal soil for cukes? We have been 

 forcing cukes under glass for several 

 years, but, though we fertilize with 

 horse and sheep manure, also using ni- 

 trate and* phosphate, our soil seems to 

 be exhausted early and does not have 

 the power to last the season out. We 

 use new soil every year. Any informa- 

 tion on the subject will be appreciated. 

 R. C. H. 



Horse manure, when gopd, is fine for 

 cucumbers, but when poor it is worse 

 than nothing. Too oftep its value is 

 overestimated by figuring it according 

 to the given analysis. I think that if 

 you would use part cattle manure you 

 would get better results. 



Even good natural manures, however, 

 are not properly balanced for cucum- 

 bers. Some commercial fertilizers should 

 be used also, choosing those high in 

 phosphoric acid and potash, as there is 

 plenty nitrogen in good manure, but 

 not a sufficient percentage of potash 

 and phosphprie acid. 



The published analyses of manures 

 have reference to good manures, and 

 cow manure usually runs much the same, 

 but horse manure often has fifty to 

 ninety per cent of straw added to it and 

 is also often ruined by being heated 

 and musty, so that all nitrogen has 

 erapof^ted. It must be taken care of 

 and turned and wet down occasionally 

 to save it. H. G.

PITTSBUBG. 



The Market. 



Pittsburg is still in the midst of the 

 hottest weather on record since 1881, 

 and at this writing there are apparent- 

 ly no better prospects in sight. Trade 

 naturally suffers in consequence. 

 Stock is generally poor and there is 

 not any too much of it. Asters have 

 made their appearance, but so far they 

 are not worth much. Beauties, lilies 

 and valley are the best flowers com- 

 ing in at present. 



Various Notes. 



E. Ashcraft, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., left Saturday with his 

 family to spend two weeks in the wUds 

 of Butler county. 



The Zieger baseball club defeated 

 the A. W. Smith Co. club by a large 

 score and is now out with a challenge 

 to any club of florists in western 

 Pennsylvania. They have as a pitch-

 lianded pitcher, who up to this time
