The Market. 



The market has not experienced any 

 marked change during the last week. 

 As a whole the week can be judged as 

 dull. Stock of good quality is arriving. 

 New carnations are being sent in. Some 

 of these are good and demand $2.50 per 

 hundred. There is much improvement 

 in the aster cut. Though they are none 

 too long-stemmed, they certainly have 

 fine, large flowers. The shipments of 

 American Beauties are larger and of 

 finer quality. Other roses continue to 

 be overplentiful, especially pink. 



Various Notes. 



S. A. Anderson and wife have re- 

 turned from Lotus bay, where they have 

 spent the summer. September 14 their 

 two sons, Severn and John, left for 

 Williams College. 



Miss K. M. Cautlin, who conducted a 

 shop at 3 Wadsworth street, has gone 

 out of business. 



The Florists' Club has sent out no- 

 tices announcing the approaching busi- 

 ness meeting of the F, T. D, October 

 14 and 15. It states that three liberal 

 prizes have been offered for window 

 decorations and that the shops should 

 show extensive competition.

FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market, 



The unseasonably hot weather of the 

 first part of last week hampered busi- 

 ness to a considerable extent. The fall- 

 ing off was noticeable in all lines of the 

 trade, including the local demand and 

 the shipping trade. Wedding work was 

 about normal for this season, but fu- 

 neral work was slack, and the call for 

 flowers for other purposes was un- 

 steady. The supply has increased 

 steadily, particularly in roses. Few 

 good red roses are being offered. Good 

 white roses are also scarce at present. 

 Gladioli are decreasing slowly, and, 

 while there are many good blooms on 

 the market, many more are unsalable. 

 Asters are in fine, large supply, and the 

 quality of many of them leaves nothing 

 to be desired. Carnations from the 

 young stock are selling for 75 cents per 

 dozen, but the demand for them is light. 

 Outdoor snapdragons are showing up
