 for our SUNTl-STED PRIZE CINERARIAS. The 

 blossoms are of immense size, 4 to 5 inches In diam- 

 eter, splendidly proportioned. Each disk is beauti- 

 fully raised. This feature is a valuable addition to 

 our OrMncliflorR type.

The size of tills charminK Mignonette has placed 

 it in a class by itself. It makes a bushy plant re-

The Market. 



Business is inclined to lag, outside of 

 funeral work and a limited call for cut 

 flowers, which has a weakening effect 

 upon the market. There is a good sup- 

 ply of flowers and the quality leaves 

 nothing to be desired, but prices have 

 eased up on practically all staple items, 

 especially rosea and carnations. Roses 

 are rather better than usual this sum- 

 mer, there being a good showing of Rus- 

 sell, Columbia, Ophelia and some of the 

 other popular varieties. With the de- 

 mand more or less indifferent, there are 

 enough good roses to meet requirements 

 nicely. The same is true of carnations. 



Asters are arriving in larger supply 

 and better quality from day to day and 

 the eastern shipping season will be well 

 under way in another week. Some chrys- 

 anthemums are offered, but not enough 

 to make them a feature of the market. 

 The crop is reported coming along nice- 

 ly, however. 



Gladioli continue in good supply, and 

 it is expected they will last through Au- 

 gust. The demand is about as good for 

 them as any of the seasonable offerings. 

 Dahlias make a fine showing; more in- 

 terest is shown in these flowers from 

 year to year, as the result of the work 

 of the dahlia society in stimulating their 

 culture in this vicinity. At one time 

 they had little call in the florists' estab- 

 lishments here, but now they sell well 

 in competition with almost any of the 

 many other flowers on the market at the 

 same season of the year. 



Rubrum and auratum lilies show ex- 

 cellent quality and have a good call. 

 With the quantities of outdoor summer 

 stock, the market can satisfy almost any 

 flower need, with the exception of 

 orchids, which are scarce, it being a 

 question of "begging" for blooms to 

 fill orders in many cases. 



Varlons Notes. 



September 3 and 4 have been set as 

 the dates for the annual show of the
