The Market. 



Tlie market has been crowded with 

 good roses of late. It is seldom that 

 the cuts are so heavy at this time or of 

 such uniformly good quality. To move 

 them the prices have been slaughtered. 

 Orchids remain oflf the market, though 

 there is some demand for them. Asters 

 are plentiful, but few come under the 

 term fancy; they sell for meager prices. 

 Gladioli, which have been so fine all 

 Slimmer, are declining fast. Only a few 

 each djiy show quality. There lyive been 

 some dahlias, but of no substance. All 

 of the outdoor flowers show the effects 

 of the prolonged drought. Chrysanthe- 

 mums have made their appearance, and 

 while the Golden Glow which is coming 

 in now is ordinary, there are reports of 

 some fine blooms to come. 



Various Notes. 



The houses of the Cudahy Floral Co. 

 are all ready for winter; the place houses 

 roses only. Some of the new kinds, Pre- 

 mier and Columbia, are showing well, 

 and heavy cuts of Shawyer and Killar- 

 ney are being taken now. Mr. Scott has 

 great confidence in some 5 and fi-year- 

 old stock which is breaking freely and 

 promises to yield heavily. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. has a wonder- 

 ful showing of newly benched carna- 

 tions, which are heavy, in good sha])e and 

 look like a bumper crop early. A nice 

 lot of poinsettias and cyclamens are com- 

 ing on for (Hiristmajf. 



Arthur Lei<liger is home from a 

 month "s vacation. This week finds him 

 quite a busv man at the state fair, where
