i"" The Market. 



Trade last week was paititnilarly 

 satisfactory, on account of the heavy 

 demand for funeral work, which was a 

 welcome relief, after several weeks of 

 midsummer dullness. The weather was 

 slightly cooler than it had been for two 

 months, and a generous shower helped 

 considerably the latter part of the week 

 to make the atmosphere more bearable. 

 The wholesalers, especially, were well 

 pleased with the week's business, as 

 good stock in all lines cleaned up com- 

 pletely. Some stock of the outdoor va- 

 riety, which was of poor grade, found 

 no market at all. 



There was a sliortage of roses, i)ar- 

 ticularly in the better grades of Hooaier 

 Beauty, Russell and Shawyer. A big 

 improvement was also noted in these 

 varieties. Such varieties as Ophelia 

 and Columbia were short in supply. A 

 moderate cut of the new rose, Premier, 

 was on this market. The quality of 

 this rose is steadily improving. 



The keeping qualities of carnations 

 are somewhat better than they had been 

 for several weeks, but the supply is 

 getting lower and lower, and about 

 another week will see the end of them 

 for this season. They are bringing a 

 retail price of 75 cents per dozen. Con- 

 sidering the season of the year and 

 their quality, this is a good price. 



A few rubi:um lilies are offered. Lily 

 of the valley is practically off the mar- 

 ket and cattleyas are exceptionally 

 short in supply. Gladioli may properly 

 be said to dominate the market. Mrs. 

 Krancis King, America and Halley are 

 the principal varieties, the latter being 

 a big favorite this season, as it makes a 

 splendid showing and is good to the end 

 of the spike. Hydrangeas are also be- 

 ing used to a largo extent for all large 

 funeral orders and decorative work, 

 such as country club parties, etc. A few 

 dahlias, the first of the season, are ar- 

 riving. Outdoor snapdragons are being 

 offered and, outside of their shortness of 

 stem, they are of fair quality. Outdoor 

 sweet peas are of small proportions. 

 Statice, delphinium, Shasta daisies and 

 gypsophila are in excellent call and 

 there is a large variety of other out- 

 door flowers, such as gaillardia and 

 coreopsis.

funeral work. Miss Bonnie Doswell, of 

 the store force, is planning to leave the 

 last of the week for a vacation visit 

 with her sister, Mrs. H. J. Wiekman, of 

 St. Louis, formerly Miss Rhoda Doswell, 

 of this city. ' 



The Flick Floral Co. is receiving a 

 good quantity of the new rose, Premier, 

 daily from its greenhouses. This firm 

 has doubled its rose stock for the com- 

 ing year and, besides. Premier, will grow 

 Russell, Hoosier Beauty, Columbia, 

 Shawyer, Ophelia and Sunburst. Fu- 

 neral work made heavy inroads on stock 

 here last week. 



Halley, the beautiful salmon-pink 

 gladiolus, is being shown with much 

 success at the store of Ed Wenninghoff. 

 He says people like this colorful va- 

 riety, with the buds opening uniform- 

 ly. Ferns are selling well at this store 

 and he also had a good share of funeral 

 work.

Summer flowers are making a fine 

 showing at the store of A. J. Lanternier 

 & Co. Funeral work moved a quantity 

 of stock here, although daily arrivals 

 from the greenhouse are quite large. 

 Different members of the store force are 

 taking their turns at well deserved va- 

 cations. Several of the Lanterniers are 

 planning to attend the Detroit conven- 

 tion. 



Messrs. Freese and Knecht, of the new 

 firm, are having a prosperous summer, 

 with a demand for all the roses they can 

 produce. E. F. B.
