The Market. 



Business has been active during the 

 last week, thanks particularly to several 

 large funerals. The prices of flowers 

 compare favorably with those of a year 

 ago. 



Outdoor stock is too plentiful, but sells 

 rather well, accordinjj to the quality. 

 Gladioli are diminishing in suppl.Y, 

 though there are some good ones left. 

 The aster crop is now in full swing, and 

 the quality of the later varieties is bet- 

 ter. The suj)i)ly of roses is lari^or, the 

 exception being White Killaruey, which 

 hardly meets the demand. Harrisii lilies 

 are plentiful and have sold well for 

 funerals. Auratum and rubrum lilies 

 are also plentiful, but tlie demand is not 

 large. »Sweet peas are not arriving in 

 quantity and the quality is not good. 

 (Carnations arc rarely seen now. Coreo]>- 

 sis, red and yellow daisies, candytuft 

 find Golden Glow are included in the out- 

 door stock. 



Orchids are scarce, but there is little 

 •demand. Valley is practically unobtain- 

 able. Chrysanthemums are arriving 

 more freely, but do not move well, ex- 

 cept the pompons. Dahlias are coming 

 in satisfactorily and include good varie- 

 ties. All kinds of greens are plentiful, 

 including good galax and loucothoe 

 sprays. The sale of ferns and palms 

 has been larger during tiie past few 

 days. 



Various Notes. 



E, F. Kennon, of the Climax Mfg. Co., 

 Castorland, N. Y., was a visitor last 

 week.

 preservation. If you could sell all the blossoms that now 

 wither in stock and are thrown away, think how much you 

 could increase your profits.

 mirror or white enamel, as you desire. Both are handsome and 

 easy to keep clean.
