 -ell readil\- at +t .-ind .+ ") per hundred, 

 liladioli are scarce. The sui>])ly of gla

 parison with other years, due to the 

 weather. K'o^e< iii' I'.iirlv plentiful in

Lilies li.ive been a f;r*'at help in the 

 market. I'l.aster lilies have been sell

The Market. 



The market continues dull and unin 

 t crest ine. The demand is abnormally 

 small, making the light supjily seem 

 larjjc The weather has been torrid for 

 many days, and its effect is reflected 

 in arrivals of stock, especially roses. 

 .\sters fire it^jw ftoming in heavily, and 

 among such as /scaped the blight are 

 somi' of good (Vuality, but the bulk of 

 arrivals ;ire jioiTr and unattractive. A 

 few ^ood showers within the last few 

 days hii\e proved of great benefit to all 

 outside stock, ;ilthouj;h hail storms Sun 

 day, .July .'il, cut outside jilantings to 

 pieces within a wide territory around 

 \ew York, which nie.ans a probabb- 

 shortening of stock for a few days. 



.\iiierican Heaiity roses are not jilen 

 tifnl, .'uid the i|uality is imudi below 

 the ,a\era}ie for the season. Poor foli.'ige 

 in many shipments also acts adverstdy 

 in the matter of jirices. Hybrid teas 

 are in fair siipjdy, but quality deter 

 mines (piotable jirices, whiidi are lower 

 than those of l;ist week. .Much stock 

 is cleared only throuj^h liargain jirices. 



Carnations .'iri' no loufjcr in the m.ar 

 ket. ti rowers, most of them, luive tin 

 ished lieiichinn t'lir next season's re 

 ipiireiiients, .and it is f.air to say tli;it 

 this work is coiii|deteil .iboiit two weeks 

 .■ihead of the j^eiiei-al tinishing time.

 the dem.-iiid for them is not l.'irj^e. Hy
