tureless as could be expected at this 

 season, and it gives the enthusiastic 

 reporter a cramp in the leg to talk 

 about it. 



There is practically 



NEW YORK no change in the mar- 

 ket since last report. 

 While the suppl.v is still plentiful the 

 demand, except for a spasmodic sprint 

 now and again, is very slack. Gener- 

 ally speaking, stocks have fallen off 

 somewhat in quality, this being espe- 

 cially noticeable with Bride and 'Maid 

 roses and gladioli, but some extra fine 

 spikes of the latter have been selling 

 at 3c. Orchids are scarce, also gar- 

 denias, but we have had quite a few 

 chrysanthemums of fair quality this 

 week. 



The market remains in 



ST. LOUIS the same old rut as it 

 has been all during the 

 past month; weather very hot and 

 business dull. The market has been 

 overloaded with cut stock of all kinds 

 and prices on the down-grade. The 

 prices are based on the amount of 

 stock you huy, but in less than 100 

 lots they remain as quoted last week. 

 Killarney roses have been coming in 

 great lots. All outdoor stock, such as 

 asters, gladioli, tuberose, etc., are still 

 in more than the demand calls for. 

 August has been a very dull month for 

 the florists. 



In no summer in 



WASHINGTON the years past were 

 flowers more plen- 

 tiful than at the present time. Some 

 very fine specimens of the new cut 

 American Beauty roses are now com- 

 ing in and Queen Beatrice is in fine 

 shape. Carnations are coming along 

 much better and there are enough lily 

 of the valley, gardenias and orchid3 

 to fill all demands. Asters are about 

 at their height and the public mar- 

 kets are oveiburdened with them. A 

 large proportion of these go to waste, 

 but those that are being sold are ma- 

 terially hurting the sale of the higher 

 priced flowers. Due to the fact that 

 Congress remained in session so long, 

 business has kept up very well. 



The Boston Co-operative Flower 

 Market had a good sale of stalls on 

 Saturday. August 31, at their market 

 on Park street. W. W. Tailby wielded 

 the hammer in accustomed persuasive 

 manner and the sale netted somewhat 

 better than last year, which was the 

 banner year thus far. The outlook for 

 a prosperous year was never better.

The Boston Flower Exchange, Inc., 

 had their annual sale of choice of 

 stalls at the market in Park street, on 

 Saturday, August 31st. It was a suc- 

 cess in every way and the salesroom 

 was thronged with a big enthusiastic 

 crowd of growers. The regular auc- 

 tioneer. Mr. Carroll, was unable to 

 officiate on account of sickness, so 

 President Stickel acted as substitute 

 under a special license and thoroughly 

 amazed his old friends by his profi- 

 ciency in this new roll. The highest 

 price paid was $195.00 by John J. Fee, 

 which is the record figure up to date 

 for choice of stall.
