tion to dispose of more than a frac- 

 tion of the receipts and when the best 

 grade of Festiva Maxima realizes with 

 difficulty anything over $10.00 a thou- 

 sand, the general return to the grower 

 after paying expressage on such bulky 

 material can perhaps be imagined. 

 Other seasonable flowers are also In 

 heavy supply, with but little demand. 

 Tulips are about gone, and so are the 

 Spanish iris, but there is plenty to 

 take their place. Carnations — the less 

 said the better. Push carts laden with 

 peonies, roses and carnations are here, 

 there and everywhere. 



Considering the late 

 PITTSBURGH season, business has 

 so far kept up re- 

 markably well. Were it not for a 

 number of large events recently, the 

 overcrowded market now seemingly at 

 hand would have been on some time 

 before. The peonies which should 

 have been here for Memorial Day are 

 now crowding the wholesale and re- 

 tail trade and, indeed, with the excep- 

 tion of green products, flowers of all 

 kinds are coming in all too plentifully. 



Trade is keeping up 



ROCHESTER, fairly well consider- 



N. Y. ing the bad weather 



which we are ex- 

 periencing at this time. Graduations 

 have helped to make it somewhat live- 

 lier than it otherwise would have been. 

 The planting season has been greatly 

 hampered this year and Thursday's 

 severe hailstorm did much damage to 

 the younger plants, and seeds which 

 were just planted. The market is 

 fairly well supplied with all kinds of 

 stock which includes roses of about all 

 kinds and includes some good Anieri- 

 can Beauties. Excellent outdoor lily 

 of the valley sells well. Carnations 

 are very plentiful but move satisfacto- 

 rily. Peonies shipped from the south 

 are abundant. Snapdragon moves well. 

 I^arge gladioli are of very fine quality 

 and sell fast. A good quantity of out- 

 door stock is used extensively, white 

 and purple lilacs receiving a fair de- 

 mand. H. B. E. 



Warm weather, with 

 ST. LOUIS summer dullness, is 



with us. Carnations 

 and roses begin to show effects of 

 warm w^eather. Lilies are plentiful. 

 Ferns are very scarce. Good Russells, 

 Hadleys and Ophelia roses find ready 

 sale. This week and next closing exer- 

 cises at the schools will finish up the 

 social season. 



The market last 



WASHINGTON week was over- 

 crowded with flow- 

 ers of all kinds. Wholesalers were 

 forced to sell their stocks at decidedly 

 low prices, and even then, large quan- 

 tities could not be moved and had to 

 be thrown away. A great deal of 

 sweet William, which came in too 

 late for :\Iemorial Day could not be 

 sold, and there was also very little 

 demand for peonies. Lily of the valley
