the chrysanthemum houses they are be- 

 ginning to cut Golden Glow. The car- 

 nation houses are all planted up and the 

 plants all look thrifty and promise good 

 results this season. The roses have been 

 giving a good cut through the entire 

 year. The plant department is one of 

 the most interesting features in the 

 range at present. The stock of palms, 

 ferns, auraucarias and other decorative 

 plant^ is being depleted rapidly, for the 

 department is busy making shipments 

 as far west as the coast and south to 

 Texas. For lack of room the company 

 was obliged to erect another house, 

 which will be completed shortly, for 

 azaleas, roses and other blooming plants 

 for the holidays.

 August Dettmann & Son, being near, 

 took part in the affair and had their 

 store nicely decorated for the occasion.

The Market. 



The last two weeks have been cold 

 and we have had a great deal of rain. 

 As a result the cut of flowers has been 

 shorter than for some time all along 



the line. Asters are about over and 

 what are coming in have lost their 

 high quality. Carnations are coming 

 pretty freely, but they are not so good 

 as they were the first week that they 

 appeared. They will soon be up to 

 standard, however, and there were 

 never so many good plants benched in 

 our city as there are this year. Every- 

 one seems to feel that his stock has 

 done better than usual this summer. 



Chrysanthemums are still two weeks 

 in the future. The few that are ap- 

 pearing are good and are in demand. 

 The first of the new rose Sunburst to 

 be cut by any of our local florists ap- 

 peared last week. They meet a warm 

 reception. They are always snapped up 

 as soon as they appear. 



Various Notes. 

 Our state fair was held here last 

 week. There were no classes for the 

 professional florists. The fruit exhibit 

 was the best ever held in the state. 

 Our nurserymen and orchardists seem 

 to be awakening to their opportunities. 

 One thing noticeable about the fruit 

 exhibit was the absence of the moth of 

 the cotton leaf worm, Alabama Argil- 

 lacea. One year ago the plates of fruit 

 were badly damaged by these moths

Some time ago I mentioned the canna 

 leaf roller, Calpodes Ethlius (Cram), 

 which made its appearance at Memphis 

 two years ago and last year spread all 

 over the state, devastating the parks 

 and private canna' beds. This worm is 

 as large as the full-grown silkworm and 

 increases so rapidly and has such an 

 enormous appetite that it was a real 

 menace where it was not advisable to 

 spray. The state was just ready to 

 issue a bulletin on this pest when it 

 was learned that it had failed to appear 

 anywhere in the state this year. 



Our state entomologist, C. M. Bent- 

 ley, was in the vieinity making his an- 

 nual inspection last week. He is one 

 of the inspectors who realize that it is 

 to their advantage to be friendly to the 

 grower and give all the advice and 

 help possible to all who need it. He
