The Market. 



The market is quiet, but the demand 

 is sufficient to consume ali the good stock 

 that is coming in. Good roses are lim- 

 ited in quant ty; stock of second quality 

 is quite plentiful, but consi.sts of only 

 Brides and Maids. Perles, Meteors and 

 Beauties are very scarce. The best of 

 the rose stock is bringing $3 per 100, and 

 from that down to .$1. Beauties are $2 

 per dozen. 



Carnations are in great deiiiaiid, es- 

 pecially white, but they are very small 

 and the little shriveled up blossoms are 

 enough to drive away the few customers 

 that come in. A few hundred fine Flora 

 Hills from Overman's brought .$1..'50 per 

 100, but the bulk of the stock sold at 



from 50 cents to $1 per 100. A great 

 many of the carnations that came in 

 last Saturday . were only fit for the 

 dump. Outdoor stufl' is very scarce ow- 

 ing to the dry and hot weather and the 

 only flowers there now are for the re- 

 tailer to make up his work with are 

 roses and carnations. 



Notes. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was a 

 visitor the past week. He reports, a 

 great sale on the Nelson carnation. 



Win. Hucke, of Belleville, was in town 

 the past week calling on the trade. "Bill" 

 says it's too dry and hot in our town 

 for good carnations. 



Wm. Ellison, of Ellison & Tesson, is up 

 north enjoying a summer vacation. Ar- 

 thur Ellison, of the same firm, left Satur- 

 day for the same place, where he will 

 remain until time for the convention, 

 then go to Chicago and travel with the 

 Chicago party to Bufl'alo. This is his 

 plan at present. 



'■Fritz" Weber, is back again after en- 

 .joying a two weeks' honeymoon. Fritz's 

 face is too familiar at the wholesale 

 houses to remain away long. 



F. H. Meinhardt, chairman of the ex- 

 ecutive committee, reports that the pre- 

 liminary list has been mailed to the 

 growers and that the dates of this year's 

 ^:how will be November 13, 14 and 15. 

 The special prizes are also coming in 

 nicely and the show will be as good as 

 ever this year.

Tliat hail storm reported by Mr. Buss- 

 jaeger took place on June 17th and it 

 lasted but two minutes, but the results 

 were bad enough. I was on the wagon 

 about a mile and a half from home when 

 I saw the storm coming. I had my 

 boy of 18 and my little one of 3 years 

 with me. We put the horse to a gallop 

 and managed to get home under shelter 

 just before the rain and hail began to 

 ■fall. 



My loss in glass broken was 800 lights, 

 considerably more than the 400 to 500 

 reported by Mr. B. And had the storm 

 lasted 10 minutes I doubt if we would 

 have had any left. Henry Keinke.
