The Market. 



Market conditions have improved 

 somewhat. Gladioli, mostly Halley, 

 have been appearing in large supply and 

 are of good quality. The demand for 

 these has been brisk. Other stock has 

 not been so plentiful. However, roses 

 are in fairly large supply in mediums 

 and shorts, but are not in active de- 

 mand. Snapdragons are scarce. A few 

 usable carnations still linger, but these 

 will be available only a short time 

 longer. The intense heat of June has 

 hurt them. Some lilies are available. 

 Outdoor varieties of lilies are also seen. 

 A general line of outdoor stock is in 

 the market, including zinnias, cornflow- 

 ers, gaillardias, coreopsis, delphiniums, 

 candytuft, etc. 



Various Notes. 



"William Roepke has gone to Atlantic 

 City with the Sahara Grotto, Masonic 

 order. 



There will be no July meeting of the 

 Indiana State Florists' Association. In 

 August there will be a picnic for the 

 florists and their families. Arrange- 

 ments for the latter have not been com- 

 pleted, but it will most probably be 

 held at the Young home at Cumberland. 



Lee Rickenbach has been cutting 

 some good gladioli. 



E. E. Temperley has returned from 

 the Shriners' pilgrimage to Des Moines, 

 la., where the Shriners had the "best 

 time ever." On the return home they 

 took a trip on the Great Lakes, stop- 

 ping at Mackinac island. Bay View,

The Market. 



Business has been good with the re- 

 tailers most of the last week, with, 

 possibly, one or two days quiet. Prices 

 remain about the sanio, with the quality 

 of stock good, considering the ex- 

 tremely hot weather. 



Various Notes. 



E. Wenninghoff reports a brisk busi- 

 ness for this week, trade having picked 

 up considcral)ly over the last week. 



Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Doswell and their
