As is to be expected 

 NEW YORK with the arrival of a 

 genuine heat wave, 

 the comatose state of the market dur- 

 ing the past few weeks has shown no 

 signs of increased activity, but add- 

 ing the situation carefully up, busi- 

 ness is really not so bad for the time 

 of year. The supply of all stocks far 

 exceeds the demand, but large quan- 

 tities of carnations, roses and lily of 

 the valley have been disposed of dur- 

 ing the past week on account of im- 

 portant weddings and funerals. There 

 has been a fair supply of asters, all 

 colors and good quality, which found 

 a ready market. Extra Beauties, 

 Brides and Kaiserins have been go- 

 ing well, but this is no weather for 

 Klllarneys. Richmonds and similar 

 thin varieties. 



Fourth of July 

 PHILADELPHIA with its atten- 

 dant festivities 

 and stoppage of industry, cut a big 

 hole in last week's overturn. Not such 

 an awful lot of flowers but even at 

 that far too big an influx for the de- 

 mand. Cornflower, coreopsis, gaillar- 

 dia in big supply, but very little of 

 these or the big offerings of other 

 outdoor subjects, found a market. The 

 best selling items were asters and 

 water lilies. The rose market was 

 very much overdone. Roses were per- 

 haps an exception to the general rule 

 and seemed to be much more plentiful 

 for the week than in previous years. 

 American Beauty, while really the best 

 roses on the market, showed the ef- 

 fects of the warm weather and did not 

 sell well. Next to Beauty came the 

 double pink and double white Kll- 

 larneys. Mrs. Taft and Maryland were 

 also good, and. of course, there were 

 some pretty fair Kaiserins. The bulk 

 of the carnations arriving were of poor 

 quality and sold for a few cents a 

 bunch. The few good ones brought 

 fair prices. There are some outdoor 

 gladioli to be had, and these are hav- 

 ing their effect on the prices of the 

 indoor stock. In a week or so the 

 outdoor gladioli will dominate the sit- 

 uation and prices will be down to zero. 

 Blue arctotis is a new item. It is a 

 pale lavender daisy with a dark center 

 — very graceful and attractive. Seems 

 to close up at night, but we have not 

 verified this. Gardenias and orchids 

 normal.

feet on all the stock that comes in. 

 The store men are only buying in 

 small lots now as they have passed a 

 very dull week in all lines. The 

 wholesalers are offering sweet peas 

 at your own price. Roses and carna- 

 tions suffer greatly from the hot spell 

 and are none too good when shipped 

 in and home-grown stock has the call 

 just now. With a few exceptions all 

 the stock that comes in now is out- 

 door grown. 



Business, as is 

 WASHINGTON usual this time ot 



the year is quite 

 dull, although there is considerable 

 funeral work to be had. The social 

 calendar is practically blank and until 

 the return of the elite in the fall noth- 

 ing much can be expected. Stock of 

 all kinds is plentiful, although not of 

 the best quality and is offered without 

 price.
