or rather the lack of activity on the 

 part of the buyers on Tuesday, how- 

 ever, showed that this spurt was onlj 

 a replenishing, and that business was 

 not as bright as was anticipated. 

 Still during the past fortnight, though 

 the quantity of the offerings increased 

 daily, most that was worth while 

 sold, while the poorer stock was a 

 positive drug on the market At the 

 time of this writing asters and gladioli 

 are somewhat more than sufficient for 

 request. Rcses and carnations, too, 

 are coming in stronger. Lilies have 

 shaded slightly in price and are in 

 good supply. Cosmos is offered in 

 small quantities and is snapped up 

 quickly. As a whole where the offer- 

 ings and sales are considered the 

 prices brought are fair. The quality 

 of almost everything is all an exact- 

 ing buyer might desire at this time of 

 the year. The green goods market is 

 ample. 



As to the present market 

 DETROIT situation the least said 

 the better. It is not dif- 

 ferent from any other year and to the 

 one who dislikes fakirs it is even bet- 

 ter because there are none at the 

 present. Trade is of a very unsteady 

 condition and the prevailing warm 

 spell will keep it so for a while to 

 come. 



The tendency to 

 NEW YORK multiply the number 

 of varieties of roses 

 grown as standard stock for the cut 

 flower market is seen in the product 

 from young planted stock of this sea- 

 son on the benches of the wholesale 

 dealers. For many years the roses 

 that could be regarded as staples 

 never exceeded half a dozen but, if

signs count for anything there will be 

 no cause for complaint henceforth as 

 to the limited number of rose varie- 

 ties open to selection by the cut flow- 

 er buyer. And among the newcomers 

 no variety is so generally liked and 

 favorably commented on as the beau- 

 tiful yellow Lady Hillingdon. All 

 roses have greatly improved in qual- 

 ity during the past week, American 

 Beauty especially so, but there is no 

 prospect of any immediate advance in 

 price, and there is an enormous ava- 

 lanche of small short-stemmed stuff 

 of the Killarney sorts which, although 

 bright colored and clean, has to be 

 disposed of at a few cents a hundred. 

 Richmond is slowly improving, but 

 the weather is still too warm for this 

 popular variety. The markets are 

 still loaded clown with asters — most 

 of them of medium or mediocre quali- 

 ty. Gladioli are not yet lightened up 

 perceptibly and dahlias are beginning 

 to accumulate. Until this outdoor 

 material is cut off any general im- 

 provement in the underglass depart- 

 ment is not to be expected. Generally 

 speaking trade is irregular — some 

 days developing quite a hopeful ac-

tivity which, however, seldom lasts 

 over forty-eight hours. A few chrys- 

 anthemums are seen here and there. 

 We believe that 

 PHILADELPHIA on the whole 

 there was a 

 larger volume of business here last 

 week, but there was such an increase 

 in the quantity of stocks arriving 

 that prices broke considerably on 

 many items, and there was a good 

 deal of unsold surplus. So the feeling 

 in the wholesale market is rather 

 grumpy. If demand had only re- 

 ded to the increased supply every- 

 thing would have been lovely — but it 

 didn't. Asters and dahlias are 

 coming in in immense quantities. Both 

 are good but there is no chance of 

 absorbing half of them at any kind 

 aying price to the growers. As 

 wholesaler put it: "We can see 

 trouble ahead now for the next six 

 What he meant was that tne 

 chrysanthemums would be piling in 

 very soon on top of this already con- 

 gested condition and would be mak- 

 ing the situation still worse. An- 

 other heart breaker is the cosmos.
