the other summer flowers flooded the 

 market, and much of the Huj)ply could 

 not be moved. Consequently prices on 

 these items were low. Koses are plen- 

 tiful. American Beauties were selling 

 at $25 per hundred for the best flowers, 

 while Iladley, Russell and Ophelia roses 

 brought from $6 to $8 per hundred. 

 Quantities of the new crop of short- 

 stemmed roses sold as low as 25 and 50 

 cents per hundred. The latter, how- 

 ever, are improving in quality, while the 

 demand for good stock is increasing. 



New carnations have arrived, but 

 they are short-stemmed and of poor 

 quality. Valley continues scarce and in 

 little demand. Lilies sold slightly 

 higher, the prices being $4 per hundred 

 for longiflorums and $3 per hundred for 

 rubrums. The supply of orcliids is in- 

 creasing. Gigas sold at $1 apiece, 



while none of them brought less than 

 50 cents. 



There is an abundance of dahlias, but 

 only the newer varieties and tlie best 

 flowers seemed to appeal to the retailers. 

 Chrysanthemums are beginning to ar- 

 rive, a few Golden (Hows and Octoljcr 

 Frosts having readied the market. 

 Great quantities of Hydrangea ])anic- 

 ulata arc seen. Marigolds, calendulas, 

 delphiniums and daisies arc abundant. 



Various Notes. 



The parade of 25,000 soldiers August 

 30 caused a good demand for flowers, 

 which were used to throw to the 

 marchers. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. X. Kinney have re- 

 turned from a two weeks' automobile 

 trip in the Adirondacks. 



Much sympathy is expressed in New
