said of gladioli and the situation will 

 remain tlie same until the growers will 

 discard the common varieties and grow 

 the better ones only. The supply of 

 wild flowers from the prairies is still 

 coming in and retail stores are gorge- 

 ous. Some of them display a great 

 deal of skill and excellent taste in ar- 

 rangement. Ferns are of good quality 

 and the best sell for .$1.50 per 1000. 

 Chrysanthemums are daily more in 

 evidence. Golden Glow and October 

 Frost constituting the stock. Beauties 

 have reached the four ft. stem and all 

 roses are considered good for the sea- 

 son. 



Business continues 

 CINCINNATI fair for this season 



of the year. There 

 is enough of nearly all kinds of 

 flowers to supply the demand. Beauties 

 are abundant and of very good grade. 

 Receipts of other roses are steadily 

 increasing. Long-stemmed roses find 

 a ready sale, while short stemmed 

 ones move slowly. The price of car- 

 nations is on the increase, keeping 

 in step with the quality. Asters are 

 on the down grade and those received 

 are short stemmed and of poor quality, 

 which reminds us that the end of the 

 season is very near. Some very good 

 gladioli are still to be had, and sell 

 readily. Dahlias are moving slowly. 

 There is a good demand for cosmos, 

 with a limited supply. Longiflorum 

 lilies find a gcod market. All kinds 

 of green goods are in abundant sup- 

 ply, with a fair demand. 



The little spurt of 

 NEW YORK business which was 



enjoyed at the close 

 of last week has been promptly 

 checked by the few days of high tem- 

 perature with which the present week 

 came in. Supplies have been piling in 

 with a persistency that suggests con- 

 gestion in some lines before long. This 

 applies particularly to chrysanthe- 

 mums, orchids, lilies and roses. The 

 activity so far has been confined to 

 the lesser retail interests and small 

 dealers generally, the larger stores in 

 the fashionable localities being still 

 very quiet. "Violets are beginning to 

 appear here and there. The first we 

 saw were at J. K. Allen's and they 

 were good for so early a date. There 

 are heaps of dahlias and the quality is 

 all that could be desired. Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums are already about 

 finished up, and Monrovia has taken 

 precedence as a yellow. One grower is 

 shipping quantities of specimen blooms

on 4 ft. stems to P. J. Smith and W. 

 P. Ford — the best we have ever seen 

 at so early a date. Last Saturday saw 

 a very welcome hustle all along the 

 course and most lines were well sold 

 out. When stock moves in New York 

 it moves with a rush and, unfortunate- 

 ly, when it stops it stops with equal 

 abruptness and market values are 

 flattened out in a twinkling. 



The improved tone 

 PHILADELPHIA of the market was 



again emphasized 

 last week. Trading kept in good vol- 

 ume all the week, and was especially 

 brisk on Saturday — so that nearly all 

 the really first-class materials were 

 sold at something near their value. 

 White roses are rather an exception 

 and still remain sluggish. Red roses 

 are in good demand. American Beauty 

 is coming along in fine shape — espe- 

 cially in the long-stemmed grades, 

 which are selling at high prices for 

 the season. Richmonds are also good 

 and move briskly. Carnations continui' 

 to show gradual improvement, and 

 every day sees them a little better. 

 White and pink chrysanthemums have 

 made their appearance, the most con- 

 spicuous so far being Montemort and 

 October Frost. Some late-flowering as- 

 ters are still arriving. The flowers 

 are good but they are short stemmed 

 A few single violets are seen. These 

 are fragrant but do not keep very 

 long. Orchids a little more plentiful — 

 labiata mostly, although Dendrobium 

 forraosuni can be h^d on a few days' 

 notice. Lily of the valley in good sup- 

 ply, fine quality, and cleaning up all 

 right. Eulalia and tritoma and brown 

 oak leaves are favorites for fall ojien- 

 ings and decorations. Dahlias hold the 

 stage in vigorous style now. and keep 

 all hands hustling in the distribution 

 of this low-priced bulimy stock. Delice, 

 Kriemhilde. Nytuphea. .lack Rose. C 

 W. Bruton. and Lyndhurst are among 

 the readiest sellers. Window box time 

 seems to be on; the little evergrei'us 



of the thuja, retinospora, juniper and 

 box families being already offered— 

 with cedar bark and other accessories 

 — reminding us that time is flying and 

 that we must instantly get ready for 

 that kind of business during the next 

 two months. 



With the advent 

 WASHINGTON of the fall season, 



the majority of 

 Washingtonians have returned to the 

 city, and but for the shortage of 

 flowers caused by the drought business 

 would by this time have resumed to 

 normal condition for the season; the 

 drought remains unbroken, and all out- 

 side flowers are past relief. The water- 

 lily season is entirely closed as is also 

 the aster season. There are remark- 

 ably good carnations on the market, 

 wholesaling at $1.50 per 100. Some 

 fine Beauties are shown now and callas 

 aie beginning to make their appear- 

 ance.
