 Xumerous letters were read from parties 

 unable to attend, showing need of this 

 action and that the movement is taking 

 root in other places.

The Market. 



A scarcity all along the line marked 

 the advent of the past week, and de- 

 spite the fact that the sun was very 

 much in evidence most of the time there 

 was no material inerea.se in the supply. 

 Trade was good, the demand being 

 greatly in excess of the supply ; espe- 

 cially so in white flowers, which were 

 most in demand. The death of Mr. 

 Pogue, the well-known dry-goods mer- 

 chant of this city, caused a great deal 

 of high-grade material to be used. 



Roses are still scarce, but with a 

 continuance of this kind of weather 

 there ought to be an increase in sup- 

 ply shortly. It was almost impossible 

 to get any Brides. Maids and (latcs 

 were some better. Liberties were scarce. 

 Beauties were in better supply, espe- 

 cially long-stemmed ones, which found 

 a leady market. Meteors were the only 

 ones of which there was a surplus, which 

 was due more to poor quality than any- 

 thing else. There was a decided im- 

 provement in the quality of all ro.ses 

 and the outlook is very good. 



Carnations are coming in somewhat 

 better, and at times there are about 

 enough to fill all orders. Notwith- 

 standing the large quantities of white 

 that are being cut, the past week proved 

 that we could use more. Reds were 

 also scarce. Pinks were about equal to 

 the demand. The prospects for a large 

 cut of carnations in the near future are 

 very good. 



Bulbous stock had its innings this week 

 and .sold out dear at high prices. Har- 

 risii are still held at top-notch figures. 

 , Xarcissus and valley sold well. Ro- 

 mans must be sold at too high a price 

 to go well. There is but little money 

 in them for the grower, and very few 

 will be grown next year. Callas are 

 selling well and bring a good price. 



Violets are still very scarce and 

 bring a high price. 



Cut cyclamen find a ready market, 

 especially white ones. They have good 

 keeping qualities and many people mis- 

 take them for small orchids. They 

 seem to he well adapted for cut pur- 

 poses. 



Various Items. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Society the members passed resolutions 

 protesting against the excessive rates 

 charged on cut flowers by the express 

 companies. W,, Murphy, E. G. Gillett 

 and H. B. McCullough were appointed 

 a committee to look after the matter. 

 A petition was also circulated among 

 the craft and signed by all who could 

 be seen in time, which has been mailed, 

 together with the resolutions of protest, 

 to the secretary of the S. A. F. 



George Meyers, of the Avondale 

 Floral Co., is reported very low with 

 typhoid fever. 



Mr. Weltz, of Wilmington, O., was a 

 caller. C. J. Ohmer. 



Delavan, III. — The firm of Randolph 

 Bros, has been succeeded by E. B. Ran- 

 dolph.
