sluggish. The indications are for a 

 decreased supply for a while. Xot so 

 many cattleyas around the most con- 

 spicuous at present being Harrisoniae. 

 They move fairly well. Lilies improv- 

 ed and by the end of the week instead 

 of too many there were not enough 

 and the price doubled. This was caus- 

 ed by the large increase in morturary 

 demand, incident to the high death 

 rate from the hot spell. The greens 

 market is in better shape — especially 

 plumosus. Adiantum unusually plenti- 

 ful and cheap. 



Two or three show- 

 PITTSBURGH ers at time of 



writing fortunately 

 have revived vegetation, which has 

 rapidly shown the deadening effects 

 of the dry, hot weather. Roses con- 

 tinue scarce and of inferior quality. 

 Carnations are things of the past. As- 

 ters and gladioli continue plentiful. 

 The former are of only fair quality, 

 but the latter are good. Business or 

 rather non-business, is just about as 

 to be expected. The fashionable flor- 

 ists "are having the time of their 

 young lives" from the viewpoint of 

 rest and quiet. 



The market has 

 ROCHESTER stirred somewhat 



this week and con- 

 ditions are more favorable. Flowers 

 are very plentiful and prices are low. 

 Outdoor stock continues to come in in 

 large quantities but does not sell over 

 ■ fast. Very fine gladioli reach the mar- 

 ket and sell fairly well. Asters are 

 much larger and better than last week. 

 Carnations are very poor. Harrisii 

 lilies and rubrums are plentiful but 

 do not sell over fast. Roses have sold 

 faster the past few days. Sweet peas 

 have been badly scorched owing to the 

 excessive heat and very few good ones 

 are seen. 



Very warm weather 

 ST. LOUIS with little doing. Asters 



are increasing. There 

 is a fair supply of gladioli which have 

 cleaned up fairly well. Carnations 

 are small and scarce. A few roses of 

 good quality are received. Lilies are 

 good. 



There was a better 

 WASHINGTON tone to the market 

 last week, stock 

 moving in larger quantities. The re- 

 tailers complain that good stock is 

 hard to get and the wholesalers state 

 that poor stock is very hard to sell. 

 What is coming in is very largely of 

 poor quality. The market is overrun 

 with gladioli and while the demand is 

 good, prices average very low. There 

 are plenty of asters, but of inferior 

 quality. Good asters sell readily. 

 Limited quantities of dahlias are of- 

 fered and these sell well because they
