sporadic. There are a few daisies on 

 the market, but they are scarcely worth 

 reckoning with. Snapdragons are to be 

 had, but they do not amount to much. 

 Gladioli are more plentiful and, though 

 demand is good, prices are inclined to

 tions, is fairly good. There are few 

 carnations.

 move, the moving is slow of accomplish- 

 ment.

 of Buffalo. A day or two ahead went 

 Samuel Seligman and Robert Neweomb 

 to represent the new American Bulb 

 Co. Fred Lautenschlager went August 

 11. A. F. Poehlmann followed August 

 14. H. G. Knowlton, Frank McCabe and 

 C. E. Pruner were on the gfround sev- 

 eral days in advance. 



Last week's rain and the cool 

 weather was a boon to the carnation 

 growers. It permitted pushing replant-
