There is no business here 

 BOSTON this week. In town and 

 out of town everybody is 

 either away or wishing he were away 

 and one might as well remain idle as 

 to attempt either to drum up an order 

 or a check. The quality of flowers 

 seen in the market is very classy, but 

 that does not suffice to sell it. The 

 new crop of carnations have made 

 their first appearance this week. Roses 

 are still small, as a rule. Sweet peas 

 have never been so handsome or so 

 difficult to dispose of. There are 

 plenty of lilies of fine quality. Glad- 

 ioU have been acctimulating. but they 

 have almost no commercial value and 

 the wholesalers only ask someone to 

 make an offer. The same is largely 

 true of asters, of which the main sup- 

 ply thus far consists of the unsalable 

 runts. One wonders why anybody 

 goes to the trouble to raise this class 

 of asters as they have had no sale to 

 speak of for several years back. 



There have been some 

 BUFFALO very quiet days during 

 last week and there 

 were also days when things were 

 brisk. One day an over supply and 

 the following a shortage. Business 

 has been uneven, though we cannot 

 complain as summer conditions still 

 exist There are but few good asters 

 but some fine gladioli are had and 

 amongst them Panama is introduced 

 and has taken well. Some good 

 Maryland roses are had also some 

 White Killarney. which are taking the 

 place of Kaiserine. Beauties have im-

proved in quality and in sales, also

The market last week 

 CHICAGO was exceedingly quieL 



The dullness was more 

 pronounced following as it did an un- 

 usually active demand during the 

 month of July. There is an abund- 

 ance of stock ef such varieties as are 

 seasonable in mid-summer. Gladioli 

 are over-abundant and only a smaU 

 proportion of the choicest stock finds 

 a market The same might be said of 

 asters; of these but few of the larger 

 and better sorts are in, the bulk con- 

 sisting of the small, early variety 

 which can be had at "almost any old 

 price." .\uratums are quite plentiful, 

 but move fairly well. Longiflonim 

 lilies of fair quality are about equal 

 to demand. Beauties are increasing 



in supply and in spite of the very hot 

 weather that has prevailed for an un- 

 usually long period, the quality is very 

 good. In teas there is a fair supply 

 of most of the leading sorts. Of the 

 newer varieties we note some very 

 fine Shawyer. This rose appears to be 

 one that is going to make a hit. Stem, 

 color and great keeping qualities are 

 valuable points in its favor. 



Market affairs took a 

 CINCINNATI very decided turn for 



the worse during last 

 week and the early part of this week. 

 Hardly anything can realize its true 

 value, and there is plenty of stock left 

 over after the close of business each 

 day. Asters are beginning to come in 

 stronger. The early local cut was 

 more or less of a failure owing to the 

 hot, dry spell and stem-rot. Out-of-
