pleutiful and wliile the demand is still 

 good prices have eased up a little. 

 Quite a lot of southern gardenias 

 have been received lately and they are 

 taken up only in moderate quantity so 

 that a good deal of these go to waste. 

 Peonies still available in quantity and 

 of very good quality. Very few leds to 

 be seen — mostly piuks and whites. 

 The sweet peas now arriving are most- 

 ly out-door stock and they are com- 

 ing in soft on account of the copious 

 rainfall which hurts their shipping 

 and keeping qualities. Large supply 

 and big variety in out-door flowers 

 which move off fairly well and please 

 the buyers who want big measure for 

 little money. 



Were it not for the 

 PITTSBURGH almost unprecedent- 

 ed scarcity of flow- 

 ers, business would be particularly 

 good at present. There has been an 

 unusual amount of funeral work, which 

 together with a continuous round of 

 conventions, and a few stray weddings 

 has kept the demand almost up to the 

 mark of early June. However, this 

 demand has been utterly impossible 

 to satisfactorily supply roses of all 

 grades and lilies of the valley in par- 

 ticular, being almost impossible to se- 

 sure in quantities. Neither is the out- 

 look bright for some time to come. 



The wholesale market 

 ST. LOUIS was in a most deplor- 

 able condition last 

 week. There was plenty of stock but 

 the demand was slow causing a great 

 surplus to pile up. The stock that is 

 coming in is keeping up good in qual- 

 ity. A fine cut of gladioli comes in 

 daily. Carnations and sweet peas are 

 too many, the latter selling as low as 

 75 cents to $1 per 1000. Lilies sell 

 well and lily of the valley is up to $5 

 per 100. 



The weather thus 

 WASHINGTON tar this month has 



not been conducive 

 to the best of production. Recent 

 storms have flooded out lily ponds and 

 heavy falls of rain have l;eaten down 

 the outdoor stock. The cold and wet 

 are also having a very bad effect upon 

 the asters, producing nothing but foli- 

 age and stems, with leaf and stem-rot 

 threatening. Peonies are off the mar- 

 ket and this has strengthened the de- 

 mand for lilies, carnations and even 

 gardenias for funeral work. American 

 Beauty roses have been scarce and 

 have cleaned up well. Local roses are 

 getting small and poor with those 

 from the north following them closely 

 to that condition. There are but few 

 good carnations. Large quantities of 

 coreopsis have been coming in.
