the season, but has made the results in 

 many crops decidedly uncertain. 



The retailers feel that business is 

 about normal. "Of course," they say, 

 "this is presidential fall."

Business continued good all through 

 last week. Stock of all kinds was also 

 more plentiful, with the exception of 

 the lighter grades of carnations, which 

 for some reason seem to have been 

 short of the demand evei" since the new 

 season opened. 



It gives us great pleasure to report 

 that the five members of the G. Baer- 

 man family, who were injured by an 

 electric car October 20, are progressing 

 nicely. The father, Gustav Baerman, 

 was able to go home from the hospital 

 October 28. The son, Helmuth, was 

 unconscious forty-eight hours after the 

 accident. An operation October 22 ap- 

 pears to have saved his life, E. O. 



BOTTOM HEAT FOB PALM SEED. 



As I live in southern California, in 

 a locality that is almost frostless, 7 

 need only a small inside space, about 

 12 X 15 feet, where I want to have 

 some bottom heat. I use it for germi- 

 nating palm seeds. I intend to use one 

 of those portable coal-oil stoves, called 

 Perfection smokeless heaters. Although 

 it is called smokeless, it emits some 

 fumes and I am afraid they may prove 

 injurious to the seeds. For this reason, 

 instead of using a wire screen, I intend 

 to put tin sheets on the bottom of the 

 bench. Of course, if I could get along 

 with a wire screen, the heat would 

 reach the seeds much more easily. What 

 would you advise me to use? E. S. 



The most satisfactory arrangement 

 for bottom heat for the germination of 

 palm seeds would be to run three or 

 four 1%-inch pipes under the bench, 

 and to connect them to a small boiler. 

 But if the oil stove is decided upon, 

 then the tin bottom would be prefer- 

 able to using a wire screen for the 

 bottom of the bench, and would not 

 cause much loss of heat. W. H. T. 



Washington, Kan. — Mrs. M. L. Pen- 

 well, of the Penwell Greenhouses, re- 

 ports that all outside stock was killed 

 by frost on the night of September 29, 

 and flowers, as a consequence, were 

 scarce for a time, though the demand 

 was good.
