The Market. 



June bu.siness has been as good as last 

 season's at this time. The demand has 

 been principally for wedding flowers; so 

 roses, sweet peas and valley have been 

 mostly in demand. There has been a 

 good supply of roses in the market in 

 all varieties, and these have cleaned up 

 pretty well right along. 



In sweet peas the better grades have 

 found a ready sale. There is an abun- 

 dance of out(loor stock coming in now, 

 which is moving fairly well. Larkspur 

 and gypsophila are popular and stock of 

 good quality is readily disposed of. 

 There is a good supply of lilies, snap- 

 dragons and carnations. The demand 

 for carnations litis fiillen off consider- 

 ably. Prices have been rather low; 

 quality, likewise, is beginning to show 

 the effects of the warm weather. 



The crop of peonies has been good, 

 but the sciison on them has been ex- 

 tremely short. 



There is a considerable quantity of 

 geraniums left over. The supply of 

 these this season has been heavier than 

 usual, and there is a considerable quan- 

 tity of stock in bloom that still can be 

 had. 



Various Notes. 



Considerable publicity is given to 

 push flowers for graduation exercises 

 and, no doubt, this will bring some good 

 results. 



W. A. Kennedy, who has been on the 

 sick list for the last two weeks, is up 

 and around again. 



Charles Dettmaun, who "gives the 

 earth with every plant," is sporting a 

 new, bright red Buick. 



The next Florists' Club meeting, in 

 which the ladies are included, will be 

 hold on the beautiful grounds adjoining 

 the II. Locker & Sons residence. A good 

 attendance is expected at this meeting. 

 It will be held Thursday, July 6. P. 



The Semler Leidiger Co. reports that 

 business since the first of the year has 

 held its own. Prices on most stock, the 

 firm reports, are lower than in previous 

 years. 



"My new sport model Buick," says 

 Charles Dettmann, "tells the tal(3 — 

 business to date has been fine." Mr. 

 Dettmann says that the fine grounds 

 about his place of business make exs 

 ceedingly good advertising.
