ties, but as a mle the wholesalers do 

 not care to ship them, as there are too 

 many complaints. The peonies are 

 pretty well used up. There still are one 

 or two lots in storage, but most of the 

 wholesalers withdrew, June 30, all the 

 peonies then unsold. Since the market 

 shortened up the peonies have been sell- 

 ing faster than was expected and at ex- 

 cellent prices. Gladioli are not yet an 

 important factor. Moderate quantities 

 of indoor flowers are received and they 

 clean out promptly at good prices. A 

 few shippers in more southern localities 

 are sending outdoor flowers, but most of 

 the wholesalers have been discouraging 

 these consignments; their attitude may 

 change if the market becomes actually 

 short. 



There are considerable quantities of 

 outdoor flowers of one kind or another 

 and when they are good they sell well. 

 The Shasta daisy is having considerable 

 popularity. 



The principal shortage has been of 

 cattleyas; sales have been made as high 

 as $2 per bloom during the last week. 

 Valley also was short during the closjng 

 days of June, but the demand has sub- 



sided since July came. Easter lilies are 

 again in considerable supply. Sweet 

 peas are not plentiful and few of them 

 are of a quality to command respect. 



There is a good demand for green 

 goods and the supply is equal to all re- 

 quirements. 



June Business. 



A gentleman named Newton once 

 evolved a law sometimes referred to as 

 that of opposite and equal reactions, 

 said to be as infallible as the same ob- 

 server's more well known law of gravi- 

 tation. The law of reactions was in op- 

 eration during the greater part of June, 

 when the oversupply of stock, following 

 the winter shortage, was one of the most 

 unwieldy ever known in this market, 

 but even at that it is to be doubted if 

 the movement, while unquestionably op- 

 posite, in any way equaled the big boom 

 that preceded it. In most cstsea florists, 

 whether wholesale or retail, had a much 

 better June than last year, in spite of 

 the manifest diflBlculties. It is the quite 

 general report among retailers that wed- 

 ding work was much heavier than a year, 

 ago and that general retail business was
