THE FEBTILIZEB MABKET. 



The general fertilizer market is 

 steady to strong, for the demand is in- 

 creasing season after season. In the 

 lines of fertilizers most used by flo- 

 rists the supi)ly is by no means keep- 

 ing pace with the demand. There is 

 nothing the florists like so well as the 

 natural i)roduct of the dairy, but it 

 has become impossible to procure all 

 the cow manure that is required. 

 Where a few years ago it was to be 

 had by paying the freight for a short 

 haul, now the average florist finds him- 

 self so situated that he can not get 

 all the manure he needs except at a 

 cost that appears excessive. To sup- 

 plement the supply from the dairy 

 barns other fertilizers are being used, 

 and on none of these is the market 

 falling; increased demand is holding 

 prices firni on all lines that do not 

 show an actual advance. There may 

 be fluctuations from time to time, but 

 the growers must make up their minds 

 that fertilizers never will be cheaper 

 than they are now, or easier to get un- 

 til the way is found to produce the 

 desired results through the use of the 

 manufactured rather than the natural 

 products. The by-products of the 

 abattoirs oven are less i)lentiful, rela- 

 tively to tlie demand, than they ever 

 were before and so easy to sell that 

 the manufacturers make practically no 

 eff'ort to find a market. 



Springfield, Mo. — A greenhouse, to 

 cost about $1,000, is being erected on the 

 campus of the Springfield State Normal 

 School, for the use of the horticultural 

 and agricultural departments of the 

 school. 



Hammond, Ind. — Philipp Buettner 

 saj's that trade this season is the best 

 he has ever had. He considers this 

 lucky indeed, for nearly 1,400 ferns and 

 5,000 geraniums were frozen in the cold 

 spell last winter, and he had to buy 

 neM' stock to take their place.
