^ The Market. 



The month of August is gone and 

 there has been nothing for us to brag 

 -about except the wonderful variety of 

 weather we have had. This has been a 

 record-breaking year for storms, much 

 of the time too cold for comfort. The 

 retail shops all have a better appear- 

 ance than in former years. All look 

 clean and fresh, with haiidsome palms 

 and ferns and with really choice flowers 

 to handle, so that the old objection to 

 summer, that there is nothing fit to 

 sell, is not true and you can go the 

 rounds and not see an objectionable 

 vase of flowers. The day of tuberoses, 

 bi^lsams and petunias is gone. 



The cut flower growers are about 

 planted up and are putting the finishing 

 touches on their houses and cleaning up, 

 after which they will have gentlemen's 

 jobs the balance of the year. Their 

 stock generally looks better than usual, 

 especially carnation plants from the 

 field, which are fine this season. There 

 will be about the same quantity of 

 stock grown in this section as last year, 

 as there has not been much new glass 

 erected for cut flowers. 



The wholesale houses all seem to be 

 well filled with fine stock, but there is 

 not much life to the selling end. The 

 only item that has been short was asters 

 and these are now piling up, with the 

 other stock, and there seems to be no 

 way to make them move. 



Various Notes. 



.TJbe people returning from the con- 

 vention kept dropping in all last week 

 and all say it was a fine convention, 

 satisfactory in every way except for 

 selling goods, as most of the visitors 

 were there to see and enjoy themselves 

 and were too busy to buy. 



The mayor of Wheeling died and it 

 took thirteen automobiles to haul the de- 

 signs to the- cemetery. 



Every florist in this city is converted 

 to the use of the automobile for de- 

 livery, G. P. Weaklen & Co. haviil^ pur- 

 cha;8ed a car. ,*■

 Flower Co., who recently married, is 

 now . established in his new home at 

 Beachwood and ready to receive his 

 friends. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. has 

 just received a large Wicks tubular 

 boiler, which is being installed against 

 an afeuBrgency. An extra pumping* and 

 water systeg^ has"-1been put 'in f of. the 

 same reason. Hoo-Hoo.

A good kind for every purpose; no better kind for any. 

 Don't order any other fertilizer without first having bad our 

 quotations, and rmul our special booklet, "Wise Words," 

 which is considered by experts to cover the subject of fertilizers 

 for cut flowers as thoroughly and practically as anything ever 

 written on the subject. "It is FREE for the asking."
