No picnic this summer. 



Unfortunately, there will be no dele- 

 gation from this city to Houston, Tex. 



The Joseph Heacock Co. has planted 

 its rose propagating house at Boelofs 

 with Eose Canadian Queen, a variety 

 that somewhat resembles Mrs. J. Pier- 

 pont Morgan, excepting that it is a 

 clear pink in color. 



Paul Berkowitz has returned from a 

 fine holiday. His friends benefited by 

 his fishing prowess while by the sea.

The Market. 



The long, dry spell of weather has be- 

 come discouraging to many of the grow- 

 ers. Outdoor stock is at a standstill. 

 We have had about four weeks of warm 

 days, with much sunshine and only an 

 occasional shower or two. The growers 

 fortunate enough to have a sprinkler 

 system are cutting a fair quantity of 

 blooms. Outdoor stock, however, with 

 the exception of gladioli, is quite infe- 

 rior. Gladioli are not as plentiful as 

 they might be, but some fine Francis 

 King, Niagara and America blooms are 

 seen and clear easily. Asters so far are 

 not at all good, being small and irreg- 

 ular. 



The supply of cut flowers is some- 

 what limited, , The daily shipments of 

 roses are below the average, but these 

 are of fair quality, conridering the sea- 

 son. My Maryland, Francis Scott Key, 

 Sunburst and Ophelia roses move easily. 

 Lilies are none too plentiful; the same 

 may be said of valley. Sweet peas are 

 good, but they have short stems, which 

 render them less salable. Carnations 

 now are poor — particularly small. 

 Achilleas, candytuft, bachelor's buttons 

 and snapdragons are found useful. Good 

 hydrangeas are in the market, as well 

 as a few good gloxinias, but blooming 

 plants are not seen much. Greens of all 

 kinds are quite plentiful. Galax and 

 magnolia leaves move well.
