The Market- 



The hot weather still contimio?, and 

 stock in consequence is gettinj; poorer. 

 Business though for the past week has 

 been much better. Prices have held 

 stiffer and stock is fairly well sold out. 

 Roses are in good demand with scarcely 

 enough good ones to go around. They 

 bring from 2 to 4 cents. Sweet peas are 

 fine but slow sale at 25 cents per 100. 

 Carnations are still coming in large 

 quantities, but owing to better demand, 

 especially for white, they are cleaned up 

 nicely and at fair prices. Paeonias are 

 done" for about here, but there are still 

 some being shipped to this market from 

 the north. They sell from 35 to 50 cents 

 per dozen, with fair demand. 



Various Notes. 



Several heavy wind storms have passed 

 over these parts, but as yet have not 

 heard of any florist who has been dam- 

 aged much. 



Park Superintendent B. P. Critchell 

 is in Milwaukee attending the meeting

 of thirty-five varieties of Paeonia ehi- 

 nensis exhibited by the Andorra Nur-
