Tbe Market. 



The market assumed its normal sum- 

 mer condition during the first week of 

 July. While the demand was not large, 

 there was no surplus, as there is a great 

 scarcity of good flowers, owing to the 

 high temperature. Funeral work was 

 the mainstay of the trade, with a few 

 weddings. Counter trade was decidedly 

 slow. •-> 



Outdoor gladioli are arriving in the 

 local market and are of fine proportions. 

 The deeper shades of pink and salmon 

 are being shown; as yet there are no 

 blooms of America or lighter colors of- 

 fered. Summer roses are of negligible 

 quality. Carnations are quite small and 

 faded, but there is still a demand for 

 them, as asters have not yet made their 

 appearance this season. There were no 

 lilies on the market last week. Cat- 

 tleyas are quite scarce, but this shortage 

 is not felt so keenly as it was during 

 the month of June, as there is a much 

 lighter call for them, mostly for expen- 

 sive funeral pieces. White Killarney 

 roses have been having a large call for 

 wedding work during the latter part of 

 June and the first of July, owing to the 

 scarcity and high prices of lily of the 

 valley. Shasta daisies are showing up 

 well among the outdoor flowers. A good 

 variety of perennials is offered, includ- 

 ing delphiniums, feverfew, cornflowers, 

 and other miscellaneous stock, such as 

 calendulas, gypsophila, pond lilies, yel- 

 low daisies, cdYeopsis and gaillardias. 



Various Notes. 



June business this year showed a 

 marked improvement over the same pe- 

 riod in 1918. In spite of the unseason- 

 ably hot weather during the first half 

 of the month, which not only forced the 

 flowers on the market prematurely, but 

 also proved a detriment to trade "In 

 general, there was a big increase in the 

 demand, far surpassing any June since 

 the war began. The wholesalers report 

 a good month, with no glut on the mar- 

 ket at any time, even during the hot 

 spell, as the active demand took care 

 of the production, especially in all qual- 

 ity flowers. The only loss sustained was 

 in the inferior quality flowers caused 

 by the intense heat. Growers are mak- 

 ing preparations for next year's busi- 

 ness on a larger scale than ever before, 

 and anticipate general prosperity. 



P. J. McCarthy, of the M. Eice Co., 

 Philadelphia, is calling on the trade 

 here.
