The Market. 



The market conditions liave been 

 serious and, instead of getting better, 

 grow worse. For twenty-four days in 

 July there was only one little shower. 

 Everything is dried up. A visit to the 

 shops one Saturday afternoon showed 

 depleted storerooms. In one shop, gold- 

 enrod was the only tlower displayed 

 in the whole place. In others, a few 

 gladioli and asters were to be seen, but 

 these were inferior. In one store, and 

 only one, were rubrum lilies, and but 

 one vase of them at that. 



Business has been fair. Had it been 

 better the florists could not have taken 

 care of it. Good stock is exceedingly 

 hard to procure and one has to be con- 

 tented with medium and poor grades. 

 Gladioli are making $6 to $8 per hun- 

 dred and asters $2 to $4 per hundred. 

 A few carnations are appearing. Roses 

 are short. Snapdragons in small quan- 

 tities arc to bo liad. Tlie usual sum- 

 mer miscellaneous stock is not in evi- 

 dence. A few delphiniums, cornflowers 

 and statico complete the market. 



Club Meeting. 



The August meeting of the Indiana 

 State Florists' Association was held at 

 the Smith & Young Co., Tuesday even- 

 ing, August 5. Two new members were 

 admitted: E. Vieweigh and R. Kiefer. 

 The fall flower show to be given by the 

 association was the important topic of 

 the evening. All the committees are 

 diligently working to make this a big 

 success. The Kentucky association has 

 been invited to be guests of the Indiana 

 association at this time. A letter from 

 J. W. Walker, of Kentucky, was read, 

 in which he stated that a large number 

 were planning to attend tlie exhibition.
