The Southwestern Market. 



The hot days last week were dis- 

 couraging to both wholesalers and re- 

 tailers. At the wholesale market there 

 seems to be plenty of stock in the 

 lower grades, but in the fancy grades 

 there is a great scarcity. The whole- 

 salers say, however^, that there was lit- 

 tle demand last \fe(ek for anything ex- 

 cept funeral flowers. The retailers are 

 not buying mucli stock and are not 

 making much displ^j, as their windows 

 are filled with gre^lte. 



An abundant su^^ly of roses of the 

 Killarney varietietfTare coming in each 

 morning, but, unless cut in tight bud, 

 they are wide open on arrival and are 

 not salable. Beauties are about the 

 best roses that come in now, though 

 the bulk of them are short-stemmed. 

 Carnations are also plentiful, but only 

 of fair quality. Among the best of 

 them are the Enchantress varieties, for 

 which the demand has been good all 

 through the week, as some extra large 

 funeral designs were worked up in the 

 west end. 



Asters are of poor quality and it 

 seems that the hot, dry weather has 

 kept them back. Extra good gladioli 

 are coming in from the field. In these, 

 Augusta, America and Mrs. Francis 

 King have the lead over the others. 

 The growers are cutting them with the 

 color of the flowers scarcely showing, 

 but they come out finely in water. 

 Easter lilies are fine, but valley is 

 somewhat scarce. Sweet peas are in- 

 ferior and the few that come in are 

 short-stemmed and good only for funeral 

 work. The market is well supplied 

 with asparagus, smilax and fancy ferns. 



Various Notes.
