peas and asters by the thousands. 

 Salesmen have not held them over 

 from day to day so much as usual, 

 selling at small figures instead. Many 

 peas have been sold to street men tor 

 40 cents per 1000 and even less, and 

 I heard one fakir tell of buying asters 

 for 7 cents per 100. It takes good ones 

 to bring 20 or 25 cents. 



But we are by the flushest perio:l 

 now. Some kinds of out-door goods 

 (gypsophila, fever-few, etc.) have 

 stopped coming and prices on ma n 

 crops are slightly advancing. Mast 

 of the vacations are over and the va- 

 cationers arc back ready for liusiness 

 when it arrives. 



A loud discussion a few days ago 

 in the Park street market, brings up 

 the old question of non-delivery of 

 goods promised a day ahead. Seen 

 from the buyer's side this is a most 

 heinous crime. But that same buyer 

 sometimes orders ahead and refuses 

 to accept the goods when too late for 

 the grower to dispose of them else- 

 where. And he is devoutly surprised 

 that this right is challenged some- 

 times, too. All of which goes to show 

 that the florist's path is not always 

 strewn with roses so much as it might 

 seem. B. T.
