The Market. 



With the summer vacation season in 

 full swing, business has slackened up to 

 some extent. Many florists state that 

 this period of the year surpasses that 

 of 1918. Stock was still plentiful and 

 the quality seemed to be slightly better 

 than the week before, but buying was 



light in wholesale depots and retailers 

 reported few large orders. 



Outdoor flowers were in fairly good 

 condition. The gladiolus crop is holding 

 out well and within a week some of the 

 later varieties are expected. Dahlias 

 are not up to standard so far. Hot 

 weather a few weeks ago spoiled some 

 of the early blooms and only a few 

 good specimens were noticed in the 

 market last week. Cut hydrangeas 

 were in full crop, but the quality seemed 

 to be inferior to that of last year. A 

 few blue blooms of excellent quality 

 were seen, but for the most part they 

 were rather small and had short stems. 



Roses were plentiful and not high in 

 price, but the condition of the blooms 

 was not of the best even for this time 

 of the year. While white chrysanthe- 

 mums made their appearance several 

 weeks ago in small numbers, the first 

 regular cut of the smaller blooms was 

 in the market the early part of last

 were sent in also and were quickly 

 snapped up by lovers of out-of-season 

 flowers. 



Orchids and gardenias were still 

 scarce and high. It will be at least a 

 month before the new gardenia blooms 

 will be in the market again. Plenty of
