The Marlcet. 



The low le\('] of the iiiinket lndd 

 steady nnlil ttie latter |iart of last week, 

 when an oxersujiply of asters became 



e\ident, cansinij ]irices to drop to old- 

 time levcds. This does not mean that 

 trade has not ludd iiji to expectations. 

 It is reported to be r(>m;irkably good in 

 ;i II shops. The low [irices are the result 

 of overjirodnction in outdoor stock. 

 l>urin<j the last two years prices of out- 

 door stock have been so hifjii and jirotit- 

 iible that they h.ave encoura<jed in- 

 cie.-ised i)lantiny and added to the nuiii 

 ber of jrrowers. 



Stock of all kinds is fine. Even the 

 rose cuts are of unusual quality for the 

 time of year and jjive promise" of i^ood 

 su|iply of line (piality for the entire 

 summer. 



Various Notes. 



F. J. Banm, of Kingsley street, h.is 

 just returned from ;in automobile trip 

 throujjh the eastern states. Mr. Haniii 

 rej)orts that greenhouse stock is none too 

 plentiful at the places he visited uni] 

 that there is nundi talk to the effect th;it 

 if the coal situjition does not tdear many 

 houses will be closed next winter. 



Frank Wexelimann has left for Cedar 

 Lake, (^anada, where he will fish for 

 about two weeks. 



Feltoii '^ I'lower Sho|> is lieing remod- 

 eled to iifffiril more con\enience. 



The Huffalfi I'loral <'o. will open a new 

 shop, at Washington and Genesee 

 streets, in a few weeks, F. V. A.

The Market. 



The first sununer slump of the season 

 lias made its appearance; business has 

 taken on its usual summer dullness, 

 wliile ]iroduction has almost doub1(>d 

 during the last ten <lays. Great quan 

 titles of especially fine giadi(di are 

 being received daily and m;iny jioor 

 spikes are seen at tiie stores of the 

 various wholesalers; these ])oor llowers 

 might better have remained at luune. 

 Jvoses of excellent summer quality are 

 identiful. Carnations are on the wane. 

 .Asters are good ;nid are imjiroxing in 

 qii.'ility and ipiantity daily. There are 



large (piantities of \;irious outdoor, 

 h.ardy tlowers, whiidi at jiresent lind 

 little demand. I'rices are low and large 

 buyers haxt- things their own way these 

 days. 



Among the retailers things also look 

 dull and ipiiet. X'acation time is here 

 and the oiiportunity for ri'st and rec- 

 reation which the present season gives 

 us is being taken advantage of. 



Ilovve\-er, with the growt'rs conditions 

 are rcNcrsed; they .are .-inxious to finish 

 pitnit iiig.
