in the supply, now principally of Rus- 

 sell, Premier and Columbia, and the 

 market is cleaning up well each day at 

 rather better average prices than earlier 

 in the month. 



Carnations are on the do%vnward path. 

 The supply decreases each day, as one 

 by one the growers clean out the houses 

 for replanting, but what carnations 

 there are show unusually good quality 

 for the time of year. There are only a 

 few asters as yet, with the probability 

 that the supply will be light this sea- 

 son. There is, however, a rapidly in- 

 creasing supply of gladioli. These are 

 making excellent prices, compared with 

 the figures of other years. Not espe- 

 cially good stock is selling readily, to 

 city buyers, at as much as $1.50 per 

 dozen stalks and, occasionally, $2. Pen- 

 dleton is the variety most numerously 

 seen. 



Peonies hold out; they seem to be 

 keeping unusually well this year, and 

 several wholesalers will have them into 

 August. Valley is not more plentiful, 

 but is less in demand. The same may 

 be said of cattleyas. Gigantcum lilies 

 have shortened up and are selling bet- 

 ter than when the supply was large.

Outdoor flowers occupy a considerable 

 place in the market, the supply and 

 quality both having benefited by the 

 cool weather and frequent showers. 

 There are quantities of good outdoor 

 snapdragon, zinnias, calendula, cen- 

 taurea, cosmos, feverfew, gaillardia, 

 coreopsis, daisies, larkspur, sweet peas, 

 achillea, bachelor's buttons, etc. Gyp- 



sophila and everlastings are being dried 

 and stored against a time of need. 

 The greens situation is quiet. 



Coal and Its Cost. 



Coal continues to worry the growers, 

 although in most cases they receive re- 

 assurance from those from whom they 

 buy. Quite a number of the growers in
