TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



The demand for flowers in the mar- 

 ket last week was not any too lively. 

 The arrivals were not unseasonably 

 large and could be easily absorbed. 

 Tliere was a fair supply of American 

 Beauty roses, which met with a moder- 

 ate demand at prices ranging from $6 to 

 $2;j per hundred for specials. Other 

 grades sold at corresponding prices. 

 The supply of hybrid tea roses was 

 much shorter, but the demand for them 

 was weak. Top-grade blooms sold at 

 from $3 to $5 per hundred, while choicer 

 blooms of the preferred varieties 

 brought $6 to $8 per hundred. Bottom- 

 grade blooms sold at 50 cents and $1 per 

 hundred. 



The supply of carnations was not 

 large, but was more than sufficient to 

 meet the weak demand. Prices ranged 

 from 25 cents to $1 per hundred. There 

 was a moderate supply of cattleyas, for 

 which there was no particular demand. 

 Prices ranged from 30 cents to 50 cents 

 each. Lily of the valley is not abun- 

 dant and is selling at from $2 to $5 per 

 hundred. Longiflorura lilies are plen- 

 tiful. They sold at from $3 to $4 per 

 hundred, with the choicest blooms at $5. 



In miscellaneous flowers, there are 

 now coming into the market a few 

 blooms of antirrhinum, calendulas, cal- 

 las, daisies, bunches of rambler roses, 

 gladioli, delphiniums, sweet peas, gail- 

 lardias, coreopsis, centaureas and ama- 

 ryllis. In greens there are smilax, ferns 

 and asparagus. All of these miscella- 

 neous flowers and greens are moving 

 rather sluggishly, however. 



Various Notes. 



The closing of the retail flower stores 

 Sundays is reported to be a success. 

 The new order of things went into effect 

 July 1 and the public seems to have 

 clieerfully accepted the change. 



Growers are not taking any chances 

 and are doing their best to get supplies 

 of coal at prevailing prices. They say 

 that the high price of coal ought to have 

 an effect on the prices of flowers next 

 winter. Some have succeeded in getting 

 all the coal tliey want, while others are 

 experiencing difficulties in making sat- 

 isfactory arrangements. 



Helen F. Patten has left for Portland, 

 Me. She will remain for a month in the 

 Maine woods. Miss Patten is a great 

 lover of outdoor sports, especially fish- 

 ing. 



Harry Heinl lias gone to Terre Haute, 

 Ind., for a two weeks' stay at the home 

 of his mother. 



Frank Peck has returned from a two 

 weeks' fishing trip in northern Michi- 

 gan. Mr. Peck says that "for a good 

 rest and for one who likes to catch fine 

 fish, Michigan is the place." 



Tlie outdoor planting season was 

 much delayed this year by the prolonged 

 cold and rainy weather, but despite this 

 fact retailers and growers report a com- 

 plete clean-up on all kinds of bedding 

 plants and garden seeds. G. B. S.
