church movements are affected l:y the 

 infantile scare. This, of course, hurts 

 the usual flower business in these 

 lines. 



Flowers of practi- 

 PITTSBURGH cally all kinds have 



again commenced 

 to come in nicely, and business Is 

 brightening up proportionately. Espe- 

 cially large and fine dahlias are being 

 received from the Dahliadale nurseries 

 of Vineland, N. J., and disposed of as 

 they are unpacked to fill the orders 

 booked ahead. Roses of really fine 

 quality are coming in about as re- 

 quired, and gladioli, which, heretofore 

 have been entirely inadequate, are 

 rapidly ascending to the emergency. 

 Of carnations, of course, there are 

 none, and asters still continue scarce, 

 but the prospect for the late crop 

 seems fairly encouraging. 



The wholesale market 

 ST. LOUIS is quite dull and over- 

 crowded with stock 

 not of extra good quality. Roses in 

 all varieties are in plenty, but only 

 fair in quality. Sliort in stem and 

 prices cheap. Carnations are few. 

 Asters are going still. There are a 

 few chrysanthemums. Lilies are plen- 

 tiful, but lily of the valley is scarce. 

 Tuberoses and gladioli are enough. 

 Cooler weather is needed to stimulate 

 the market. 



Business in Wash- 

 WASHINGTON ington last week 

 showed quite an 

 improvement. The weather is cooler 

 and fall weddings have commenced. 

 Flowers are more plentiful and much 

 improved in quality. Asters will soon 

 be off the market; dahlias are more 

 plentiful and are better than they have 

 been. Carnations are more in de- 

 mand with supply increasing. Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses are coming in fine 

 shape. Cattleyas bring $9 per dozen. 

 Lily of the valley is almost unobtain- 

 able at times.
