carnations still arrive, but on the whole 

 they are not suitable for shipping pur- 

 poses. 



The most important of the summer 

 flowers are gladioli and asters. Of the 

 former some especially fine stock is 

 seen and large quantities are being 

 moved daily. Mrs. King is not arriving 

 in large quantities as yet, but sells well. 

 America, which arrives in more abun- 

 dant numbers, is also a favorite with the 

 trade. The novelties sell well. Al- 

 though it is claimed the recent heat 

 wave has somewhat impaired the quality 

 of the asters, some good stock is, never- 

 theless, arriving and finds a ready mar- 

 ket. In fact, there can be no real com-' 

 plaint on the quality of the asters of 

 the last week. 



The heat also has made itself felt on 

 sweet peas, and what stock arrives is 

 mostly of inferior quality. Orchids and 

 valley both remain on the short side 

 of the market. Easter lilies are plenti- 

 ful, as are rubrums, but both act rather 

 lethargic. The first of the outdoor crop 

 of stocks is arriving. Shasta daisies 

 are plentiful, but more slowly. Gypso- 

 phila and feverfew are in good demand. 

 There is plenty of candytuft, but not 

 much call for it. Centaurea moves slowly. 

 Snapdragons are of poor quality and do 

 not sell well. 



The Fuel Problem. 



Growers are not finding it easier to 

 buy coal. The fuel is to be had, but the 

 price is firm at $2.75 per ton for Frank- 



F. T. D. Service in a Wholesale Way 

 is a new departure in Wliolesaling Cut

To Buy Right is to make permanent connection with a

lin county, mine run. Many of the large 

 users are holding off, in the hope that 

 the agitation now in progress will result 

 in lower prices; the public is aroused 

 and the daily papers are full of coal- 



price denunciation. Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., the largest user in the trade, has- 

 made no provision for winter, taking 

 in only its daily needs. A. F. Poehl-
