We are in constant touch with market conditions and when a dedine talces place you can rely upon orders sent us receiviug such benefiL 



modic; some days there will be excellent 

 business, with a slump right on its heels, 

 and then a revival. It is a typical sum- 

 mer condition, but on the wliole this 

 market lias nothing of which to com- 

 plain. 



The gladiolus is the doiniiiating 

 flower. There has been a great improve- 

 ment in it in recent years. The old 

 mixed stock has i)racticany dis.ippeared. 

 The newer varieties are being offered in 

 increased quantity, more carefully cut, 

 carefully bunched and carefully han- 

 dled. The public likes them. It has 

 been noted that the best selling varie- 

 ties are tlie dark pinks; light piuk, such 



as America, just like Enchantress among 

 the carnations, is distinctly slower sale. 

 After the pinks, white is "wanted, with 

 red in less request. The novelty colors 

 are popular for window decoration, etc. 

 Probablv the best selling varietv is 

 Myrtle. 



Roses are slightly more plentiful each 

 day, as recently replanted roses come 

 into croj). Short roses are almost a 

 drug on ihe market, while many houses 

 say they could sell more of the special 

 fancy long grade at the highest quoted 

 prices. 



The strikes are beginning to have an 

 effect on the market. At least they are 



held responsible for the lack of orders 

 from various localities, also for the ir- 

 regularity in mail delivery which some 

 of the wholesalers are beginning to 

 note. Thus far nothing lias been heard 

 of industries closing, either for lack of 

 transportation or for lack of fuel. Coal 

 salesmen are industriously canvassing 

 the trade soliciting orders for imme- 

 diate delivery or for contracts for the 

 season's supply. In the latter case some 

 of them want to contract at the opening 

 price when mining is resumed. 



Everybody Pleased.
