The Market. 



The excessive heat last week, with a 

 shaded theriiioiiieter registering from 90 

 to 95 degrees, brought business almost 

 to a standstill some days, but, never- 

 theless, Saturday, July 2, saw good 

 l)usiness. Quantities of stock arrive, 

 but its quality is not all that could be 

 desired, due to the fact that for a num- 

 ber of weeks scarcely any rain has 

 fallen. The grower who is fortunate 

 enough to have an irrigation system can 

 now prove its worth, for this has been 

 an exceptionally dry season. More wed- 

 dings were recorded last month than in 

 June la.st year, but the amount of money 

 spent on them for flowers has been com- 

 paratively small. Largo cuttings of 

 roses arrive daily, including heavy sup- 

 ])]ies of Columbia and Ojdielia. These, 

 considering the heat, are fairly good. 

 Summer prices prevail on all kinds of 

 flowers. The carnation crop is gradually 

 dwindling and the size of the blooms 

 is much smaller. There are, how- 

 ever, heavy shipments of sweet peas of 

 varying grade. Single and double gyp- 

 sopiiila arrive in good quantities. 

 Hardy gypsophila is also in good supply 

 and is as good as has been seen. The 

 supply of l3elphinium Belladonna short- 

 ened up last week, but the second crop 

 will soon be in. Shasta daisies liave 

 made an appearance and move fairly 

 well. Fair (juantities of gladioli are 

 on the market and sell well. Good out- 

 door lilies are seen and are in excellent 

 <leniand, the supply of Easter lilies being 

 scarce. Coreojisis and gaillardia are in 

 fair supply and sell well. There is only 

 a small demand for orchids at this time. 

 Valley is not overplentiful. Mignonette, 

 white and yellow daisies, and corn- 

 tlowers are included in the range of fine 

 flowers. A fair supply of adiantum, 

 Asparagus Sprengeri, ferns and galax 

 leaves are in stock and move well.

When looking at the window decora-

 imagine he was in the woods. Several 

 tall logs, hollowed out, stand up at least 

 eight to ten feet high, with a mossy un- 

 dergrowth. At one side is an artificial
