Market condi- 

 PHILADELPHIA tions here are 



about as good as 

 could be expected for this season of 

 the year. The only feature that differs 

 is the better quality of the flowers 

 offered. This gratifying condition 

 does not seem to affect trade nor 

 prices in the least. The crop of Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses tell off slightly and 

 the offerings of these were as a rule 

 (airly well marketed, but all other 

 roses were in over supply. The quality 

 of all roses is good as compared with 

 carnations. The latter were distinctly 

 in the discard — and good asters were 

 generally preferred. A dull and fea- 

 tureless market characterizes all other 

 stocks. Tremendous glut of sweet 

 peas, with much poor stock — soft, 

 flabby — very few bright, hard flowers 

 with substance. Market much too 

 long on all kinds of greens. 



The week just passed 

 ST. LOUIS was a good one, in fact 



for the whole month 

 of June fine business was reported 

 from all parts of the city. Summer 

 ■dullness will prevail from now on. 

 Stock as seen at the different whole- 

 sale houses during the past week is 

 of extra good quality, roses and carna- 

 tions holding up well. Outdoor peas 

 and gladioli are now in, also a large 

 lot of outdoor cut roses. These are 

 expected to fill up our market for the 

 next month and then the big cut of 

 asters will come along. The large 

 number of weddings has daily cleaned 

 up the supply of lily of the valley. 

 Adiantum asparagus and smilax sold 

 well all week. 



Detroit — Locally we have had a very 

 brisk demand for cut flowers, particu-

 there was a strong steady demand dur- 

 ing the week the accumulation in the 

 wholesale houses was enormous and 

 worst of all fared the Lllium longi- 

 fiorum. 



Washington — Business during the 

 past week has been about the same 

 as previously reported. There is 

 plenty of stock, most of which is poor, 

 although some of it shows signs of 

 improvement, but there is not enough 

 demand to clear it all off at profitable 

 prices. The heat followed by so much 

 rainy and dark weather has raised 

 havoc with the foliage of roses mak- 

 ing it very rusty looking. 



ground which will soon be under cul- 

 tivation — maiden soil of first rate 

 quality with natural drainage, which 

 should give him fine results. This 

 with an addition of two new green- 

 houses indicates a flourishing state of 

 business. 



The Bloodgood Department of the 

 American Nursery Co. has most of

 ornamental trees. This company has 

 now in the neighborhood of 500 acres 

 under cultivation and additional plant- 

 ings going in each season.
