The Market. 



The long run of dry weather was 

 broken by light rains last week, but 

 things have not been much better since. 

 Conditions have been so bad that water- 

 ing would not help outdoor stock much. 

 The growers all report failures of 

 dahlias, and the asters are poor. Earlier 

 in the summer there were some excep- 

 tionally fine gladioli, but they are 

 weakening now. 



The writer nosed into one or two of 

 the stores, and found business "about 

 the same, thank you." However, good 



stock is so hard to secure that no one 

 seems to care much if things are not 

 crowding them. All indications point 

 tn a record-breaking business for the 

 coming fall and winter season. The 

 exceptional number of weddings listed 

 for autumn is causing universal com- 

 ment. 



Various Notes. 



The dry weather caused the carna- 

 tion plants to stand still in the field for 

 so long a time that they are quite 

 small for this season of the year. Chas. 

 P. Mueller has all of his carnations 

 benched and is in the market for more. 

 W. H. Gulp & Co. have one house plant- 

 ed, and will probably fill the other this 

 week. The plants at both places seem 

 willing to take hold at once and make 

 up for lost time. These two estab- 

 lishments have some exceptionally good 

 houses of benched chrysanthemum 

 plants, which will certainly attract at- 



tention when the blooms begin to show 

 up. 



The writer inspected the report of 

 the Hail Association for the last year, 

 and it helped him to realize what a 

 clean-up the storm of May 1 in this 

 city amounted to. The pessimist said 

 that that storm represented one-half 

 of the hail losses paid in the whole 

 United States for that year, and he 

 didn't think this was any state to have 

 a greenhouse in, but the optimist said 

 that it had never acted so badly before 

 and wouldn't again until the comet 

 came back. 



Chas. P. Mueller is building a 2-story 

 extension of cement blocks, which will 

 increase his coal facilities and give 

 room for another boiler. There will 

 also be a carpenter shop upstairs, to 

 help the night fireman keep awake with 

 the damaged flats and boxes. 



N. Dugan, recently of Dugan & Cane, 

 is now in charge of the Bixby green- 

 houses. 



Walter Davidson has given up his po- 

 sition at the Mueller greenhouses and 

 is now with the Hydro-Carbon Light 

 Co., of this city. 



F. Kuechenmeister has returned from 

 his vacation at the lakes and is super- 

 intending the construction of a $5,000 

 residence. 



William Shick has removed his Lula 

 avenue establishment and is erecting 

 it to operate in connection with the 

 Kellogg street plant. Among other im- 

 provements is a new Kewanee firebox 

 boiler. B. C.
