The Market. 



Last week was slightly better. There 

 was not a great deal of business, it is 

 true, buf September 2 there developed 

 a clean-up. Good asters brought about 

 $2 to $2.50 per hundred. Of these there 

 were only limited receipts, and the 

 blooms sold quickly. The same may be 

 said of the best gladioli. Some claimed 

 they were able to obtain $3 per hun- 

 dred for these, but $2 seemed to be the 

 final quotation of the week and from 

 this to 50 cents for the poorest of the 

 shipments. Dahlias do not yet show 

 much improvement. So far there are 

 few carnations and they are small. The 

 price seldom goes above $1 per hundred. 

 Their improvement will be gradual and 

 the shipments rapidly augmented after 

 September 15. 



Chrysanthemums are few and the gen- 

 eral quality of most of the Golden 

 Glows still is below par. The best are 

 not selling above $2 per dozen. Valley 

 had its ups and downs last week, the 

 prices vacillating between $4 and $8 

 per hundred, but $5 was the closing 

 quotation; of course we refer to the 

 select stock. The prices of lilies, too, 

 fluctuated considerably, $5 to $10 per 

 hundred covering the extremes, with $6 

 per hundred the final value by general 

 consent. The quality of the lilies now 

 in the market certainly is indicative of 

 expert growing. Orchids still are 

 scarce and good gigas are worth $1 each 

 and sometimes more. Oncidiums are 

 here and are conspicuous in window dis- 

 plays. 



There is an abundance of mediocre 

 cosmos. Tritomas are fine and sell at 

 50 to 60 cents per dozen. Hydrangea 

 paniculata is at its best and the color- 

 ing is most beautiful. Clematis panicu- 

 lata is in full bloom. Celosia is here; 

 also delphiniums and sunflowers of high 

 and low degree. 



Last, but not least, roses. There is 

 as yet no surplus of the selects. There 

 are fine Sunburst, Ophelia, Mock, Ward, 

 Eussell and Stanley roses that sell at 

 $6 to $8 per hundred for the best; then 

 on down to the lower grades that go 

 as low as 50 cents per hundred. Beau- 

 ties are improving in color, size and 

 stem. 



Various Notes. 



Do- not forget the first meeting of 

 the New York PHorists' Club, Septem- 

 ber 11, at the club's rooms in the Grand 

 Opera house. 



September 26 and the dahlia show are 

 only three weeks away. President 

 Vincent writes that the weather for 

 dahlia growing has been far from fa- 

 vorable, but that he erpects the exhibi- 

 tion will be a great success. The Law- 

 rence Garden Club has requested Mr. 

 Vincent to lecture September 14. 



The plant auctions all begin Septem-
