 Sweet peas and Shasta daisies are im- 

 portant items now. Dahlias are begin-

ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



During the last week the llowt-r mar 

 ket has been in a hop(dess condition, and 

 it seems likely to continue so for at least 

 a coui)le of weeks. The main reason for 

 this condition is the belate>l arrival of 

 outdoor flowers, whi(di were just about 

 three weeks later than ii-ual. Ordi 

 narily the glut of outdoor sto( k prevails 

 about the middle of June, when wed 

 dings and conimencemeiits call for a 

 large ])ortion of the stock. \d\r large 

 (piantities of the flowers are here and 

 consequently much greenhouse stock is 

 not ]turch;ised. 



The niaikets and store< are (piiet 

 [daces these days. Apart froiri the ordi 

 nary run of business, there is littli 

 funeral work to ludj) to mose the How 

 ers. Roses are in large sujiply, but the 

 greater part of them are slmrt. ()])helia 

 and Sunburst move well. Prices are coti- 

 siderably lower than they w<'re and good 

 sto(dc can lie Vjought for .*!' to $.'i pei 

 hundred. There is a quantity of Har- 



lisii lilies, and these are olVered at low 

 prices to clear. Large spikes of gla- 

 ilidli reach the market timl move easily, 

 ('andytiilt and ^ypsophilas are brought 

 tu the market in quantities. There i.s 

 an aliurnlaiK-e ol' good swci't peas, \\hi(di 

 ;ire cleareil at low snniiner prii-es. Car- 

 nations ar<' extreinel\ |ileiiiit'ul and 

 Iuiiil;' about .*! pei- luindied Ito the best 

 llowers. Large Shasta daisies sell widl, 

 hut theie is no special demand for or- 

 chids. .Ia[aiie'-e irises are plentiful and 

 come in liandv lor window displays. 

 'I'he maiket is well stoi'ked with all 

 kin<ts of seasonable greens.

"So pants the elk \\>v cocding 

 streams," a member of the R. I'. O. 

 Klks was overheard to remark to a 

 groiq) of fellow Klks gathere<l around 

 and admiring the unique window deco- 

 ration at the I'enu store, during the 

 Klk convention at Boston last week. A 

 pen ;nid ink description can do Imt 

 feeble justice to a disjdav that was 

 considered n perfect depict inn of Klk- 

 dom. One aide of the window contained 

 the usual summer exhibit ot' du(d<lings 

 and water, a display tli.at never seems 

 to grow old, judging by the crowds con- 

 stantly viewing it. The special subject 

 was a herd of elks bi'owsing in a \alley, 

 with here and there lingei- posts, upon 

 which were written the se\ I'ral \irtii 

 ous tenets (it" the order. In the- back 

 ground, on a hill, stood the chaptd, be- 

 side which a cooliiiLi sticani gushed 

 forth. It w.'is ;ill sxinbolir ut' the order 

 and highly interesting. i\eii to the

 ramblers, tiaiiied up the supports abnig

 out and pl.'ints wore being lifted from 

 the field. The to'w ones have done well.
