their finish, the bulk of the late bloom 

 having been badly injured bj the frost 

 which came some ten days ago R 



getting solidity and finish, and 

 each day sees them more deserving of 

 attention from the flower buyer. 



With the outdoor ma- 

 BUFFALO terial drawing (lose to 



the end, prospects for 

 new lit'.' In business is looked for at au 

 early date. There was a slight frost 

 some few nights ago, but no injury 

 reported to any extent. Short-stemmed 

 roses and carnations are gradually 

 Oiling the market, and the warm days 

 have a tendency to bring them on 

 faster. Gladioli are shortening in sup- 

 ply, also asters, and they will not be 

 missed until they are over with. Sum- 

 mer roses still are had in good supply, 

 and there are some choice Kaiserins 

 ami President Carnots. Bon Silenes 

 are gradually coming forward and 

 violets have made their appearance. 



The change in the mar- 

 CHICAGO ket conditions is com- 

 ing gradually and trade 

 has not experienced the sudden re- 

 vlval that many anticipated when 

 September came. All lines of stock 

 are selling as well as is usual before 

 a frost, even the few flowers left in 

 the gardens affecting the local market 

 somewhat. The opening of the va- 

 rious clubs in the city beuins this 

 week and adds consider 1 1 > 1 v to the 

 demand for Beauties and other roses. 

 Asters are still with us and the sea- 

 son will close as it began with a few 

 good ones and many poor ones, the 

 former from the greenhouses and the 

 latter from the rain-soaked fields. 

 Carnations are showing up well for 

 the season, stems fully up to the av- 

 erage and blooms large and perfect. 

 The first violets are straying in and 

 orchids are more than able to meet 

 the demand this week. Gladioli will 

 soon be of the past nnd give way to 

 the chrysanthemums, now coming in 

 more freely and selling readily for 

 September. Of roses, the variety is 

 complete and the qualit \ excellent, 

 while prices vary accordingly. Ship 

 ping trade is quite good the be.-t 

 roses are practically used up each 

 day. There is a good supply of green 

 of all kinds. 



This wei I business 

 CINCINNATI started with a rush 

 that was OSt grati- 

 fying. The close of last we. wa 

 very satisfactory. The market, with 

 the passing of asters and uladioli. is 

 tightening and some Mm - already 

 bring a slightly higher price. The 

 Shipping business is goo illy in 



greens, and includes also practically
