qualities. The supply, however, is short 

 and it shows the effect of the heat, as-do 

 all roses. White Killarney is perhaps in 

 largest supply and it is certainly the 

 best seller of the Killarney family, 

 Ophelia, too, is a good seller. Brilliant 

 and Richmond are not popular as sum- 

 mer roses. The great difficulty in the 

 rose situation has been to get the stock 

 into the market before it pops open. 

 This difficulty, great enough under nor- 

 mal summer conditions, was aggravated 

 by the extremely high temperature last 

 week, and the wonder was that the 

 growers were able to get anything to 

 the market in salable shape. With the 

 advent of the cool breezes the opening 

 of this week, growing conditions have 

 been greatly improved and stock is be- 

 ginning to exhibit a marked improve- 

 ment in quality. 



Valley is again the scarcest item in 

 the market and enjoys a corresponding 

 demand. Easter lilies, as a direct result 

 of the increased funeral orders, are in 

 great request and insufficient supply. 

 Remarkably scarce for this season of 

 the year are gladioli. There is little 

 demand for cattleyas and the price is 

 down. The supply, however, is still 

 small and an order for a few dozen 

 would send the price up again. A thin 

 scattering of daisies may be found on 

 the market, but they cut little figure. 

 Carnations are about at the lowest ebb 

 and, as a result of the dry, hot weather, 

 the supply of good asters is extremely 

 short. As this flower generally figures 

 prominently during the summer months, 

 its scarcity compels recourse to other 

 garden flowers, of which there is an 

 abundant supply. Auratum lilies, too, 

 are brought into requisition to fill the 

 gaps. 



Greens, which are abundant, are en- 

 joying a fair demand. 



The July Weather. 



July was a hard month on the grow- 

 ers, bad in its effects on stock and espe- 

 cially trying for the men who felt com-
