The Market. 



The wholesale cut flower market was 

 loaded up every day last week, having 



plenty of everything in season; in fact, 

 there was more than plenty. 



With the return of the summer tour- 

 ists, the opening of the schools and the 

 planning of fall social events, good 

 business among the retailers is looked 

 for not later than September 15. The 

 leaders claim that funeral work all 

 through the summer has kept them 

 fairly busy, while in other lines busi- 

 ness was at a standstill all summer. 



The receipts have greatly increased 

 during the week, especially in roses. 

 The market has been overstocked, 

 which shows that the demand has been 

 light. The cool nights have kept the 

 quality up in all varieties of roses. 



Prices have geen greatly reduced, espe- 

 cially on 1-day-old stock, to make room 

 for fresh consignments. 



Carnations are scarce. Asters are 

 plentiful and of really good quality. 

 These seem to have no set price, as the 

 demand is not heavy enough to con- 

 sume the daily receipts. Gladioli of 

 the extra fancy grades are not over- 

 plentiful and are nearing the end of 

 the season's cut; still there are enough 

 for the present demand. 



Valley sells moderately well. Lilies 

 have a good call, also single-flowering 

 tuberose stalks. 



Chrysanthemums have made their 

 appearance in the Golden Glow variety.
