September 1, the crop should be ready 

 for market November 1 to 15. The 

 Grand Bapids variety matures earlier.

The Market. 



The week has been peculiar in that 

 it was really cold the first half. Since 

 then it has gradually warmed up and it 

 closed about normal. There has been 

 no rain, though it was needed badly. 

 There have been no commencements 

 to make business this week, but funeral 

 business has more than made up the 

 lack. 



It has been a long time since any 

 one funeral has used so many flowers 

 as were used at that of the Dudley 

 sisters. The prominence of the fam- 

 ily and the tragic way in which they 

 were killed, being crushed in an auto- 

 mobile by a fast express train, com- 

 bined to bring this result. More than 

 a dozen wagon-loads of designs were 

 taken to the cemetery. This is said 

 to be the largest floral offering ever 

 seen at a Nashville funeral. 



Roses were off crop this week, but 

 promise to be in larger supply next 

 week again. They were wholesaling 

 at from $5 to $8 per hundred. My 

 Marylands and Kaiserins were the most 

 in evidence. Some of our growers 

 have thrown out most of their carna- 

 tions, but others are still cutting a 

 good supply. They moved readily at 

 from $3 to $5 wholesale. Peas are 

 growing rather scarce, though some of 

 the growers have fine ones. The sea- 

 son has been too dry for good results 

 outdoors. 



Various Notes. 



Hillcrest School Farm reports being 

 hard hit by dry weather and that bulbs 

 and ehrubbery are suffering. They 

 plan to begin the erection of their new 

 greenhouse in a week. 



Haury & Sons have been selling some 

 good gloxinias of late. These plants 

 are becoming more popular here. On 

 the other hand, we do not see so many 

 tuberous-rooted begonilas as we did 

 last summer. Hydrangeas continue to 

 be the most popular summer pot plant. 



Geny Bros, report a busy week. They 

 still have a supply of carnations that 

 are good for the time of year. Their 

 new houses are completed and planted, 



J. C. Corbett is selling a lot of fine 

 tomato plants this week. "We did not 

 have frosts to cause repeat orders, but 

 did have insect pests all over the coun- 

 try that brought the same results. 



Mclntyre Bros.r say there has been 

 no special feature to the last two 

 weeks' business, but that they have 

 had plenty of work. 



We were much pleased with the work 

 the Mt. Olivet Cemetery greenhouses 

 have done in planting the cemetery 



Lily of the Valley Pips

 A. H. AUSTIN CO.p Wayland, Ohio 



this season. Their houses are almost 

 empty, save for the benches that have 

 been planted to mums, but they have 

 certainly produced results. 



Mr. McBride, superintendent of the 

 city parks, is to be commended for 

 the good work he is doing this sea- 

 son. I think I have never before seen 

 as good results with pansies in this 

 climate as he has had in the park 

 beds this spring, and they are still a 

 joy to behold. The spring, however, 

 has been an abnormally cool one. 



The Joy Floral Co. says it has never 

 before done so much funeral work in 

 a single month as in May and that 

 •Tune has been fully as good thus far. 

 The company has thrown out all its 

 carnations and is cutting gladioli 

 heavily. F. B. 



Fremont, Neb. — Chas. H. Green has 

 started construction on another green- 

 house at his plant in the northwest part 

 of the city. The house will be 30x120 

 feet, and when completed will be used 

 entirely for carnations. 



West Bend, Wis.— Fred C. Resting, 

 who left ostensibly for St. Paul May 

 30, has written his wife from Chicago 

 that, on account of the pressure of his 

 financial embarrassments, he does not 

 intend to return. Mrs. Resting, who has 

 four children dependent upon her, in- 

 tends to continue the florists ' business.
