The Florists' Review 



JuLZ 10, 1919. 



PBOVIDENOE, B. I. 



The Market. 



Summer dullness has set in with the 

 retailers, following an unusually good 

 month of weddings and commencements, 

 although the latter have not been such 

 prominent features as they were some 

 years ago. The excessive heat of the 

 latter part of the week carried the out- 

 door roses by, but sent the sweet peas 

 ahead, so that several growers are cut- 

 ting large quantities of good quality. 

 The first asters have put in an appear- 

 ance. Indoor roses are beginning to 

 show a dropping off in price and quan- 

 tity, while carnations are becoming 

 smaller and approaching the end of the 

 crop. The demand for stock of all kinds 

 is about normal.
