The warm weather of 

 BOSTON both Sunday and Monday- 

 had a depressing effect 

 not alone upon all kinds of stock, but 

 also upon the market itself. While 

 prices are practically the same as last 

 week, the demand has not been brisk. 

 Roses are soft and short in stems and 

 asters also show the effect of the 

 weather. Gladiolus and sweet peas 

 are plentiful. Indications, however, 

 are already apparent of an improve- 

 ment and with vacations almost at a 

 close a good fall business is expected. 

 A good quantity of ev- 

 BUFFALO erything is to be had, 

 on some lines too much 

 at times. The early varieties of asters 

 are in full swing, but the quality not 

 up to previous years. Too many short, 

 small blooms of ordinary quality, 

 block the market and the cemetery 

 florist is looked for at all times. Some 

 good America, May and Augusta gladi- 

 olii are had, but again too many or- 

 dinary mixed qualities which do not 

 move at any price. Beauties and other 

 roses have had a better demand, but 

 the severe hot weather brings in the 

 shipments in full bloom condition even 

 when boxes are packed full of ice. 

 Peas continue to come in, but of i)oor 

 quality. Valley has had a good de- 

 mand and cleaned up satisfactorily. 

 Plenty of greens. 



A sudden wave of Imsi- 

 CHICAGO ness activity swept over 



the market at the open- 

 ing of the third week in August, and 

 all salable stock was needed to meet 

 the demand. On that day also was all

broken the drouth which in some lo- 

 calities had lasted since the latter part 

 of June. The rain fall was not heavy, 

 but came in the from ot a gentle show- 

 er, lasting nearly all night, and doing 

 untold good to the out-of-doors stock. 

 Carnations in the field are small and 

 growers are shy about booking any 

 orders for tear of cutting short their 

 own supply. Chrysanthemums also 

 have suffered from the drouth, but 

 the shorter and bushier plants will be 

 the better for pots. Asters have 



right of way now in cut flowers and 

 there are some very good ones ap- 

 pearing in the market. The general 

 supply of first-class stock will be 

 small. Gladioli are seen everywhere, 

 and tliese also are of good quality. 

 Roses are far from satisfactory, but 

 time will soon remedy that. Beauties 

 are gaining with each week. Funeral 

 work calls for a great quantity of 

 flowers this month and almost every- 

 thing is being used up.
