The Market. 



The weather has been ideal the last 

 two weeks. Frost was predicted by 

 the weather man a week ago and the 

 piark men and florists were scurrying 

 around in great shape to get ready for 

 it, but it never materialized. It has 

 been dry, but this is no hardship at 

 this time of year. Outdoor roses are 

 blooming again and it is expected that 

 this will continue for two weeks at 

 least. Business is picking up all along 

 the line. Dahlias are at last beginning 

 to appear and are of good quality. 

 They retail at 75 cents per dozen. 

 Chrysanthemums are still scarce and 

 bring good prices. The cut of roses 

 is good. Melody and Radiance making 

 their appearance of late. Carnations 

 are improving, both in numbers and 

 quality. Violets are few and of poor 

 quality. Asters are gone to stay, but, 

 in the nature of a surprise, there were 

 plenty of first-class gladioli this week. 

 They were needed, as flowers are none 

 too plentiful as yet. 



Varions Notes. 



The weather for threshing the cow 

 peas and harvesting the last of the 

 soy beans is ideal. The seedsmen re- 

 port fitat southern grown onion sets, 

 such as Yellow Multiplier, are so high 

 and scarce as to amount to almost a 

 famine. 



The first of the Dutch bulb drum- 

 mers was in town this week, but it 

 was too early to make the trade anx- 

 ious to buy. 



The fall planting is on now, and the

THE ONLY ARTICLE THAT SHOULD BE USED 



I by Orowers for stringing Smilax and Asparagus, as 

 lit will not fade or rot in the greenhouse. The M*yttr

 among Flojists and Orowers. It is handled by the 

 best houses everywhere, but it should be ordered by 

 name— Mayar's Silkaline— to be sure of getting the 

 genuine article. Do not .\ccept substitutes. 



If your Jobber cannot supply you, order direct of 

 the manufacturers.
