The Market. 



The market last week tightened up 

 considerably, probably for two reasons, 

 first, the past extremely hot weather, 

 and second, the change to a much cooler 

 temperature. Business has been at a 

 standstill, and the scarcity of some 

 stock has, therefore, not been felt nearly 

 so much as it would have been a little 

 earlier. 



Boses have been coming in only in 

 the medium and shorter grades, and for 

 this reason have not been cleaning up 

 as fast as usual. Carnations are just 

 about over; the few that are still com- 

 ing into the market have been cleaning 

 up, although they have been poor. 



A few peonies are still to be had in 

 pretty good condition, although they do 

 not keep long after coming out of the 

 icebox. Sweet peas continue to glut 

 the market. Other flowers coming in 

 now are snapdragons, bachelor's but- 

 tons, coreopsis, gladioli, gypsophila, 

 gaillardia, black-eyed susans, wild asters 

 and a little candytuft. Asters have 

 made their appearance, a few short ones 

 arriving. 



Various Notes. 



Employees of the street railway com- 

 pany here have been out on strike i for 

 higher wages. This necessitates the use 

 of all kinds of vehicles and conveyances 

 in order to get people to work and also 

 to deliver the orders. This has hit both 

 wholesalers and retailers. 



George Potter, of the W. Q. Potter 

 Co., is growing some prize-winning gla- 

 dioli on his country place, which he is 

 bringing to the wholesale market. 



Carl Lee, of the retail store of the 

 J. M. Gasser Co., was recently married 

 to Miss O'Malley, of the same firm. 



Ella Grant "Wilson 's son, who recently 

 returned from service overseas, has 

 again started pushing the florists' pub- 

 licity interests. 



Edward Lewandowsky has just re- 

 turned from overseas. He belonged to 

 the Motor Transport Corps, in which 

 he held the rank of first sergeant. 



W. F. B. 



Detroit, Minn. — Axel Dahl, proprietor 

 of the Detroit Greenhouses, is planning 

 to grow part of the carnations he needs 

 this year. 



Sedalia, Mo. — The employees of the L. 

 H. Archias Seed & Floral Co. enjoyed an 

 all-day picnic July 4 at the club house 

 on the Lamine river. The party, con- 

 sisting of about thirty, took the early 

 morning train, returning late that eve- 

 ning. Swimming, fishing and other sports 

 were indulged in.
