Flower Market Reports 



[Continued from page 20J) 



W. .lones. of Phipiis Conservatory is 

 about to leave to attend the florists' 

 convention and other points in the 

 east. 



Business though not 

 ROCHESTER rushing can not be 



called dull. Large 

 quantities of asters of good quality 

 reach this market daily and sell readi- 

 ly. There is little demand tor the 

 poorer grades. Gladioli are very 

 plentiful. Roses are very poor. Car- 

 nations are very small. Longiflorum 

 and Japanese lilies are very plentiful. 

 Gaillardia. candytuft, bachelor buttons, 

 coreopsis and snapdragon meet little 

 demand. 



Business has been 

 WASHINGTON very good. Asters 

 have the call and 

 are varying considerably in price, ac- 

 cording to quality, ranging from five 

 cents the bunch to $8 per hundred. 

 Gladioli are very plentiful with the 

 market slow, the price being below 

 normal on account of the heavy supply. 

 Roses are quite good and those coming 

 in sell well. The northern stock, due 

 to poor express facilities, is more often 

 unsalable because of delays in trans- 

 portation. Indoor carnations are en- 

 tirely gone and their place is being 

 taken to some e.xtent liy outdoor stock. 

 Hydrangea blooms which sold so well 

 the previous week now hang fire.

Madison, Conn. — The people of Mad- 

 ison, ospeciaily members of the cottage

 son has been a popular resort, Mr. 

 Scranton has had charge of the grad- 

 ing and landscape gardenini; around 

 the summer homes. The many lawns 

 and gardens which have been made to 

 i-Tow along the shore, bear witness to 

 his splendid ability in that direction.
