Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from pagt 285) 



The market has as- 

 CINCINNATI sumed a more quiet 

 tone since last report. 

 Large quantities of asters are received 

 and most of them are of very poor 

 quality and hard to move at almost 

 any price. Good asters are bringing 

 fair prices and meet with a ready sale. 

 Gladioli were over abundant and only 

 the choicest spikes moved with any 

 degree of consistency. Beauties are 

 improving in quality and clean up 

 nicely. Other roses are also showing 

 an improvement in quality and the de- 

 mand is in excess of the supply. Lili- 

 um Auratum are about done for this 

 season. A few more Longiflorum and 

 Speciosum lilies could have been used 

 to good advantage. All out-door flow- 

 ers are showing the effects of the hot 

 and dry weather of the past week. 

 Green goods of all kinds in ample sup- 

 ply, with a fair demand. 



The aster growers 

 PHILADELPHIA seem to have 

 learned a little 

 wisdom. There were not nearly as 

 many poor asters last week. No use 

 in cutting such stock — they won't sell 

 at any price. There was a decrease in 

 quantity in all grades of asters, and 

 the quality is distinctly improved. We 

 are proud of the stock now coming in. 

 This looks something like the aster as 

 it ought to be! Gladioli are still in 

 grand shape but not quite so plentiful 

 as last week. The features in the rose 

 market are American Beauty and 

 Kaizerin. A few good Richmonds in 

 spots. Orchids very scarce. We hate 

 to mention carnations. Speak softly, 

 it is better far to rule by love than 

 fear. Lots of fine outdoor things to 

 be had in quantity.
