The market is still very 

 BOSTON quiet and very little ac- 

 tivity is discerned on 

 any side. The sea-side shipping de- 

 mand has just made a beginning, but 

 thus far it is infinitessimal in volume. 

 While some items have shortened up, 

 there is still a surplus of material in 

 evidence. Quality is low, so far as 

 roses are concerned. A few fairly 

 presentable Beauties are available 

 from day to day and, of course, some 

 fat and juicy Kaiserins and Carnots. 

 As to the balance, the less we say the 

 better. Carnations have almost dis- 

 appeared from the supply, as they 

 surely have from the demand. Lilies 

 are not overstocked, but there is little 

 call for them and they move slug- 

 gishly. The same is true of lily of 

 the valley. Sweet peas have felt the 

 benefit of the cool nights of late and 

 are of better quality, although in 

 shortened crop. A few asters are 

 coming in. very fair flowers for the 

 season but short stemmed, and the 

 outlook for good asters and gladioli 

 in the near future is excellent. 



Hot weather with very 

 BUFFALO little business is the re- 

 port for the past two 

 weeks. In the line of roses, Brides- 

 maids, Brides and Killarney are of 

 poor quality as well as Richmonds and 

 Maiyland. both of which are full 

 blown \^ hen shijiments are received at 

 wholesale markets. The demand is 

 limited to Kaiserin and Carnot. which 

 are of reallv good quality. Giganteum 

 lilies have been plentiful with no de- 

 mand. Carnations are also in heavy

supply but of poor quality. Sweet 

 peas are plentiful and sell well at 

 times. 



The third week in July 

 CHICAGO finds the supply rapidly 



shortening up. This is 

 felt along all lines, and it is well that 

 the demand is light. These who are 

 handling carnations that can be con- 

 sidered at all good attribute it to the 

 fact that the plants have bsen care- 

 fully disbudded and shaded and a 

 liberal amount of fertilizer used. 

 Those who have not done this are 



without good carnations as the ex- - 

 trenie heat has practically put tbem 

 out of the market. Roses are getting 

 smaller, and fewer are cut each day. 

 Some unusually fine Harrisii lilies 

 were seen this week and were bring- 

 ing a fair price for the season. Some 

 out-of-docr stock is coming in and its 

 presence is welcome at this time. 

 Peonies are coming out of cold storage 

 in poor shape and giving many florists 

 an excellent opportunity to say "I toldv 

 you so." Vacations are the only topics
