The Market. 



The liot weather had an unfavorable 

 effect on business, but cooler days have 

 brightened up conditions considerably. 

 The main feature in business has been 

 funeral work, with a fair sprinkling of 

 wedding orders. The principal item of 

 stock is gladioli; they are in excessive 

 supply, and apparently all growers are 

 producing them. The favorable condi- 

 tions under which they have developed 

 this season have made them extremely 

 good. The white varieties, however, 

 have not done so well. The demand for 

 roses has been large this week, but the 

 supply has not been sufficient. White 

 roses are scarce and the demand for 

 them is heavy. 



The supply of Easter lilies is ade- 

 quate, but the call is light. The same 

 may be said of rubrums and gigan- 

 teums. Asters are scarce, especially 

 those of good quality, while many show 

 the effects of the hot weather. The 

 carnation crop is about over, there 

 being few flowers on the market. There 

 are a few good dahlias, but the demand 

 is poor. Good pompons are arriving 

 and sell well. Feverfew, achilleas, 

 snapdragons, candytuft, bachelor's but- 

 tons, coreopsis and zinnias are plenti- 

 ful, but the demand for them is chiefly 

 for cemetery work. Sweet peas are 

 neither good nor plentiful; good stock 

 is difficult to procure at any price. 

 Magnolia leaves and galax are utilized 

 considerably during the summer season. 

 The supply of greens meets all demands. 

 Blooming plants are not plentiful. A 

 few good gloxinias are seen. 



Various Notes. 



J. W. Langenbach, of Albion, has re- 

 turned from an automobile trip through 

 the Berkshires. He purchased a 7-pas- 

 senger car and made the initial trip to 

 Norwich, Conn. His father, F. J. Lan- 

 genbach, a florist of Norwich, accom- 

 panied him. The whole trip of more 

 than 1,500 miles was made without 

 puncture or engine trouble. J. W. Lan- 

 genbach has a 100-foot house of sweet 

 peas, which he hopes to have in the 

 market during the early days of Decem- 

 ber Business with him has been good. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Wilson, their 

 three sons and the sons ' wives and chil- 

 dren had a family picnic at Durand, 

 Eastman park, August 14. 



An elaborate window display was 

 seen during the week at the J. B.
