The Market. 



After an unusually mild winter, Ken- 

 tucky and the south for the last three 

 weeks has been in the grasp of the se- 

 verest kind of weather; snowjfttid sleet 

 have fallen as far south as New Or- 

 leans. Lent and the weather had little 

 or no effect on business for the week 

 ending February 28. Everybody re- 

 ports business good, with funeral work 

 of all kinds heavy. There is a good 

 supply of stock, but the demand uses 

 up all that is brought in. Local flo- 

 rists have been putting in some fine win- 

 dows, featuring pot plants. Some fine 

 specimens of Cineraria hybrida an^ aza- 

 leas are being shown. 



Various Notes. 



H: Walker, of F. Walker & Co., had 

 a nice display of azaleas and cinerarias 

 and reported good business in them. 



Anders Basmussen, of New Albany, 

 Ind., is building five new houses, two 

 30x300 for roses, and three 31x300 for 

 carnations. He also expects to install 

 a new 175 horse-power boiler when these 

 houses are completed. With these 

 houses Mr. Rasniussen 's plant will total 

 300,000 feet of glass, the largest in this 

 vicinity. 



Robert Miller, of the Kunzman Floral 

 Co., is reported better and able to be 

 about. Mr. Miller has been confined 

 since Christmas with an attack of ne- 

 phritis, and for a while his condition 

 was considered extremely serious. 



John Ruysenaas, foreman for F. 

 Walker & Co., who has been on the sick 

 list for the last week, is improving. 



August Baumer, the genial Chestnut 

 street magnate, was so busy when we 

 saw him that we beat a hasty retreat 

 before he had a chance to put us to 

 work. 



A visitor last week was S. S. Skidel- 

 sky, of Philadelphia. R. J. S.

Paper Pots and 

 Dirt Bands 



277% MORE BLOSSOMS 



on plants raised In Square Paper Pots than 

 on plants raised In clay pots of same size. 



There were 450 steins of blossoms on 40 

 plants raised In 4-lnch Square Paper Pots 

 and 105 stems of blossoms on 40 plants raised 

 In 4-lnch clay pots. 



The above was taken from the following: 

 report In the Market Growers' Journal Janu- 

 ary 1, 1914, page 6. i ■ - 



NUMBER OF STEMS IN BLOSSOM 



When set In the field May 15th, the ropt 

 systems of the plants from the 4-lnch sqpcCre 

 paper pots were 4-lnch .cubes (64 cubic Inches 

 of soil and roots) and from the 4-lncn clay 

 pots the root systems contained 31, cubic 

 Inches of soil and roots (the amount -Ih&t 

 a 4-inch clay pot holds). 



The third count of blossoms was nrade 

 June 27th, 42 days after the plants bid 

 been set In the fl<Md. 



The plants from the square paper, pojs 

 were then more than twice as large and 

 vigorous as those raised In clay pots. • 



All plants raised In square paper '.pots. a»e 

 larger and more vigorous than those raised 

 In clay pots, because they have about: double 

 root room for the same size pots. 



Measure the two pots and you will, find 

 that the 4-inch square paper pot holds as 

 much soil as two- 4-inch clay pots. - - -- 



It Is the same with square dirt bands, 

 whi?K are square paper pots without bottoms 

 (the bottoms being furnished by old news- 

 papers spread on the bench). 



"The theory that It is only necessary to 

 have a big top to the plant has been' proved 

 misleading. 



There must be a big root system to push 

 the top or the plant will grow slow and 

 small. . • » 



Try some square paper pots or dirt bands 

 with your clay pots and see If you can 

 afford to use any clay pots. 



Some of the florists around Philadelphia 

 are using large numbers of square dirt band's 

 and paper pots.

 Brldesburg, Phlla., Pa., 1!50,000 2-inch square 

 dirt bands and 20,000 3-inch square dirt
