The Market. 



The hot, dry weather which we had 

 all through July is with us still and all 

 vegetation is in need of rain. "Rain! " 

 is the cry from florist and farmer alike. 

 The growers who have watering systems 

 are fortunate these days, but some of 

 them have not enough water to keep 

 things wet and therefore some of the 

 stock is poor, especially asters and sweet 

 peas. Carnations are holding up well 

 under the hot weather. The demand for 

 roses is extremely light. Killarneys are 

 small, but White Killarneys are much 

 better. Milady is a good summer rose 

 and lasts well. Wards and Tafts are 

 rarely seen nowadays. There are no 

 flowering planie of any kind at present. 

 Boston ferns are scarce.
