 iii;ijority of it beijit; t'liiicr.-il work, 

 which has been quite lie;nv. A large 

 drujr store's oijeiiing created a small 

 stir witli some of the florists, who sent 

 a number of large baskets. Owiiig to 

 frequent rains, a big contrast is shown 

 in outdoor-grown stock, which up to 

 about three weeks ago was poor and, 

 in many cases, was drying u|) and burn- 

 ing from the excessive he.it. The 

 market is, therefore, receiving a much 

 gre.'iter (piantity of gladioli, whicli rcacii 

 us in a large assortment of colors. Those 

 having {(reference are i'ride of Goshen, 

 Schwabeii, America, Halley and 

 Augusta. Good stock is seen and fair

 asters continues to increase, but the de- 

 mand for good stock is so large that 

 they are quickly cleared. The smaller 

 varieties clear just about as rapidly. 

 Carnations are scarce and only a 

 limited amount is received. Sweet peas 

 are also scarce now and their (juality is

 seen and sell well. Extra well colored 

 zinnias are in the market and move 

 i>asily. Beautiful colors are seen in 

 scabiosa at this time. Strawflowers 

 promise to be good this season and 

 some extra well colored blossoms are 

 seen. Hardy gypsophila is in small 

 supply. Gaillardia, helianthiis, iichil-

lea, alyssum and coreopsis are seen 

 daily, but there is not much demand for 

 them. The supply of roses is good, the 

 demand being especially for Columbia 

 during this last week. Bachelor's but- 

 tons, cosnios, larkspur, buddlcia, lujiinc, 

 salpiglossis, dahlias .'ind zinnias ;ue in- 

 cluded in the daily shipments. Orchids 

 and valley are not in big sujiidy, nor is 

 the demand at all large. Gloxinias, 

 jirince's feather, celosias and potted 

 asters are all that is seen in jtotted 

 jilants. Everything in green goods,

 ful.
