{ContinitfJ front page 3lj) 



At this time of the 

 DETROIT year it is a genuine 

 pleasure to report a 

 shortage of stock because of improved 

 business. The amount sold and the 

 collpctious made are far in advance of 

 a year ago and it is only reasonable to 

 look with great hope into the future. 

 The euiet summer 

 NEW YORK market is supple- 

 mented by a very 

 light supply of greenhouse products, 

 many growers not sending anything at 

 all to the wholesalers. The outdoor 

 stock such as asters, gladioli, sweet 

 peas, hydrangeas and lilies, is, of

coiu'se, in abundant evidence, even 

 golden rod finding a place alongside 

 the cultivated material, but the in- 

 trinsic value of the entire output of 

 such things is only small and offe.s 

 but small inducement for the large 

 operators. Asters are seen in many 

 types, some weird, some beautiful, 

 some otherwise. The very finest, re- 

 sembling chrysanthemums, on two- 

 foot stems, are unloaded with difficulty 

 at a price that would have horrified 

 the grower last season. This being 

 the case what chance for a sale have 

 the little bundles of useless lunts? 

 Absolutely none; they are worthless. 

 The roses, and practically the only 

 ones that are finding a steady niaiket 

 are Maryland and White Killarney, 

 are in a similar plight. These 

 two are the favorites on all sides 

 and will so continue throughout the 

 coming season. Both "make up'' beau- 

 tifully and have all the qualities to 

 giace the most exquisite work. Lily 

 of the valley is very fine now. Orchid.-; 

 are more than ever a luxury and the 

 possessor of a few good Cattleyas can 

 set his price as high as he chooses. 



The volume of 

 PHILADELPHIA stock arriving in 

 this market sen- 

 sibly diminished last week, which gave 



a distinctly better tone to the market, 

 although the amount of trading was 

 not any larger. The quality of the 

 aster crop is now much better; the 

 stems are longer, the flowers larger, 

 full double and of excellent form and 

 finish. This fine summer flower is now 

 as it should be, and a satisfaction to 

 everybody. Gladioli have taken quite 

 a drop as to quantity and are now 

 cleaning up nicely. A new item now 

 on the conspicuous list is Hydrangea 

 paniculata bloom, used quite largely 

 in funeral work and also for decora- 

 tions. American Beauty roses sold up 

 well, although there is no marked dif- 

 ference in these either as to quantity 

 or quality. A few more cool nights 

 will help this crop. Liberty improved 

 slightly and My Maryland is quite a 

 bit better. Very fair stock arriving of 

 other roses — especially Kaiserins and 

 Brides. A few of the new crop carna- 

 tions are making their appearance; but 

 they are short stemmed as yet. Or- 

 chids are scarce, and lily of the valley 

 is also on the scarce side. Speciosum 

 lilies are fairly plentiful and go slow; 

 but Easter lilies are in good demand 

 with only limited supply. Water lilies 

 seem to fce over for the time being at 

 least — none on the market this week.
