The Market. 



Western Pennsylvania and West Vir- 

 ginia have been having the worst rains 

 and floods in the experience of the 

 oldest inhabitants. While great dam- 

 age has been done, greenhouses seem to 

 have escaped, but the market gardeners 

 on the low lands have suffered great 

 damage in loss of crops. In some sec-

 cover the corn tassels, and whole crops 

 were lost. Bailroad tracks were washed 

 out and the shipments of flowers for 

 Monday, September 9, could not be 

 made. Great inconvenience and loss to 

 the wholesalers resulted. The Pan-

Great quantities of asters are coming 

 in from all directions. Some of the 

 flowers would be fine, but all show the 

 effect of rain and the blooms are 

 spoiled. The heat and rain continue. 

 Those growers who did not get their 

 planting done early are having their
