The Weekly Florists' Review. 



July 2, 1903. 



The Market. 



Very little can be said of the business 

 done the past week, and some of our 

 florists are complaining thai -ttuimer dull- 

 ness has set in for good: still, a big 

 amount of funeral work was made up, 

 hut not any very huge designs were re 

 ported. This kind of trade is about all 

 our florists have to depend on nou,i<la\- 

 hut some were busy with shipping trade

|.as t W eek. The weather is still cool and 

 the Fourth of July i- close at band. This 

 is one holiday on which the florists can 

 close up and celebrate. 



The glut in sweet peas is still on and 



there is no fixed price on them. S 



were sold as low as :!."> cents per 1,000 



in 10.000 lots. S ..I the best bring 



$2 per 1.000. The store windows down- 

 town are loaded with them, and they are 

 sold at 5 cents per bunch of 25. It was 

 estimated that the three wholesale houses 

 handled 20.000 daily the past week. 

 These were not all -old: a great nianv 

 of them were dumped. The bulk of the 

 shipped carnations are arriving in bad 

 condition. Home-grown stock is much 

 better. Good Flora Hill have a big de- 

 mand. For pink Ethel ( rocker is pre- 

 ferred. Of these the stock i- not over- 

 plentiful, but enough are in to supply the
