The Market. 



The demand is down to the usual sum- 

 mer level. The retailers say that the 

 only business they can depend upon now 

 is funeral work and even this was not 

 of much account during the last week. 

 Still no complaints are heard, as all re- 

 port the best season in years and rather 

 welcome a few weeks of easy-going 

 times. 



The market at present has little first- 

 class stock of any kind, except in gla- 

 dioli, which are abundant. The fancy 

 varieties are keeping up in price, while 

 the common sorts were jobbed off at 

 low figures. 



Good roses are in demand, but only a 

 few are coming in, with white scarce. 

 The supply of Russell and Ophelia has 

 fallen off greatly and the few coming in 

 clean up quickly. Carnations are plen- 

 tiful, but of poor quality. The fancies 

 bring $3 per hundred, but of these only 

 a few are arriving. 



Asters are coming in, but as yet the 

 supply is limited. Amoag other out- 

 door stock, single ever-blooming tube- 

 rose spikes have made their appearance 

 and the crop this year promises, as usual, 

 to be heavy. 



These, with the usual crop of summer 

 outdoor stock, make up the daily mar- 

 ket. The demand for any and all kinds 

 of greens has been large all season and 

 is still so.

Florists' Club Picnic. 



The florists' picnic, an event that is 

 looked forward to eagerly, especially by 

 the younger folks, took place July 17 

 at Ramona park. The crowd arrived at 

 the grounds in the afternoon. The usual 

 parade through the downtown district 

 was not on the program this year and 

 many were disappointed. 



The weather was fine, clear and cool. 

 The attendance wgs largely .made up of 

 the younger element, this year's event 

 being marked by the absence of a great 

 many of the older florists, who up to 

 this year were regular in attendance 

 at our annual outings. 



To the trustees of the Florists' Club, 

 Messrs. Rowe, Windier and Lurie, is due 

 a great deal of credit for the perfect ar- 

 rangements and the way they handled 

 the various, evepts in which the old and 

 young florists took part. 



The reception committee this year was 

 headed by J. F. Ammann, president of 

 the S. A. F. He and his twenty-one 

 able assistants handled the large crowd 

 perfectly at the gate and on the 

 grounds.

The grounds committee, headed by 

 Andrew Hoffmann, Al Gumz and Oscar 

 Ruff, with several assistants, had their 

 hands full during the time the games 

 were in progress. This was especially 

 true during the last event on the 

 program, the much talked of baseball 

 game between a team of wholesalers 

 and one of retailers. A great deal of 

 rivalry was shown even among the 

 spectators, rooting for their favbrite 

 team. 



Captain Hoffmann had charge of the 

 retail team and Al Gumz of the whole- 

 salers. Henry G. Berning and Oscar 

 Ruff were the umpires and they cer- 

 tainly had a hard time satisfying both 

 sides. A full nine-inning game was 

 played and it was full of excitement
