H. E. Wilson is cutting some fine early 

 chrysanthemums, for whioh he finds 

 ready sales. Funeral and wedding 

 work was good last week and prospects 

 for the fall and winter are encouraging. 



Hugo Teute has a great quantity of 

 chrysanthemums coming along in fine 

 shape, some of the earlier varieties be-

The Market. 



The last two weeks have been the 

 wettest of the year, with rain every 

 day, till only those who had to came 

 on the streets. Of course, business has 

 not been so good as it should l^ave 

 been. We had a frost scare twice, but 

 it is clear at last and warmer, so that 

 we expect to have a few weeks of good 

 weather again. With clear weather, 

 business is looking up and it is likely 

 that there will be a shortage of flowers 

 during much of the fall. 



Chrysanthemums have begun to take 

 their place on the market, but none of 

 the really good ones have come as yet. 

 Home-grown gladioli are scarce and 

 dahlias were all but a failure. Roses 

 art beginning to be plentiful and the 

 quality is improving rapidly, too. The 

 cloudy, wet weather has held the car- 

 nations back, but they are beginning to 

 show better quality. They are not any 

 better than they were two weeks ago, 

 however, but are selling well. The fea- 

 ture of the market is the total absence 

 of good pot plants. Even ferns are 

 scarce and not of good quality. The 

 growers have a good supply of pot 

 mums that will arrive within a week or 

 so and there will be a fine lot of cycla- 

 mens by holiday time. With practically 

 no lilies in sight, it is becoming a ques- 

 tion what we are to offer the buyers in 

 the way of pot plants when the holidays 

 come around. Now that the Dutch bulbs 

 are in, it is evident that the few that 

 have been bought will not cut much of 

 a figure in the market this season.' 



Orchids are beginning to come in 

 from the local growers, though it will 

 be a month before there will be any 

 quantity. The new rose, Premier, has 

 appeared on the market and already we

hear predictions that it will soon dis-

done better here than it has in most 

 places, but Premier is showing itself
