The Market. 



Business has picked up during the 

 last week and had its eflfcct on stock 

 coming in. Beauties continue to be 

 on the short side and the retailers have 

 to depend on Chicago for them. Some 

 medium roses have been coming in, 

 but are cleaned right up as the boxes 

 are opened, such varieties as Bussell, 

 Maryland, Ophelia, Killarney and the 

 few Beid and Hoosier Beauty. Short 

 roses are plentiful and inclined to drag. 

 Valley continues to be scarce and 

 usually when one needs it there is none 

 to be had. 



No orchids are in the market, but a 

 few shipments to retailers are coming 

 from Brampton, Ont. 



Few carnations are to be had and 

 these are not of much account. Asters 

 are plentiful, but the prices are some- 

 what stiff, $4 per hundred for best. 

 Gladioli still are plentiful and a good 

 buy, being effective for display, last- 

 hig well. 



Greens of all kinds have been plen- 

 tiful except cut ferns, which, although 

 the retailers have not felt the shortage, 

 are not arriving in large shipments. 



Various Notes. 



Hugo Schroeter has a neat window 

 display at his Woodward avenue store, 

 consisting of a pool of goldfish, etc., 

 banked prettily with sea rocks, plants 

 and greens. 



Mr. Pautke, formerly in charge of 

 John Breitmeyer's Sons' Mack avenue 

 greenhouses, now in the retail business 

 for himself, reports that everything is 

 going along nicely with him. 



Mrs. Gray, at John Breitmeyer's 

 Sons* Park store, continues to spend 

 her week ends at their summer home

After the unusually hot spell, which 

 lasted more than a month, we had some 

 moderately cool weather. This caused 

 a shortening of stock to such an extent 

 that at times it was impossible to ob-

bled a flower. The last few days con- 

 ditions have improved. Asters have be- 

 come more plentiful and the quality is 

 good. Gladioli also are more plentiful 

 and of fine quality. Boses are small 

 and mainly have short stems, but the 

 color and the foliage are good. Busi- 

 ness has kept up well and several im- 

 portant weddings are already booked 

 for September.
