 many this will seem like a revival of 

 the old, as the supply men say. It will 

 be a step toward concentration. 



"I like automobiling, " Mr. Bayers- 

 dorfer said. "Mrs. B, and I came up 

 from Atlantic City in two apd a half 

 hours that hot day. We started back 

 at half past 4 in the afternoon, with 

 four sound tires and three extra ones. 

 We exploded our first tire at twelve 

 miles; second at fifteen; third at twen- 

 ty-one; fourth a mile later. Between 

 repairs, going on a flat wheel rim and 

 another tire, we got back at 3 o'clock 

 the next morning."

The Market. 



The veterans in the wholesale cut 

 flower market unanimously declare that 

 last week, for dull and unprofitable 

 business, holds the record. The street 

 Saturday, August 26 — the good day, 

 naturally, of every week — was as quiet 

 as a funeral. There was a fair clean- 

 up of roses, thanks to an order for 40,- 

 000 blooms — another of those Sunday 

 religious society distributions. There 

 is a fair demand for the higher grades 

 and novelties in roses. The season at 

 Newport is at its height and some large 

 decorations were executed last week 

 that used all the American Beauties ob- 

 tainable. Roses generally are rapidly 

 improving in quality and size. Of the 

 short-stemmed and small-flowered 

 sorts, it may be said that many thou- 

 sands go for $5 and under per thousand. 

 Some fine Prima Donna, Russell, Ophelia 

 and Sunburst roses now are arriving

A few carnations are promised this 

 week, but the flowers are small and it at 

 least will be the middle of September be- 

 fore they start their season drive. Chrys- 

 anthemums are already in evidence. 

 There are some fine Golden Glow and 



every week will add to the volume of 

 the shipments. There is much cosmos 

 in the market, but the flowers are small 

 and of little value. Tritomas, hydran- 

 geas, goldenrods, dahlias, gaillardias 

 and rudbeckias — these now are abun- 

 dant, especially the dahlias.
