OUR STOCK IS UP-TO-DATE 



RESPECT 



We want to emphasize the fact that our stock of Florists' Supplies is such as to 

 require the attention of every man who is trying to make each dollar do its full duty. 

 We are buying in such large quantities that many articles we can sell for what smaller 

 pl^alers pay — and on no article whatever in the whole list of Florists' Supplies can we 

 be llndersold by anyone who filJs orders with goods of equal quality. Our line is 

 absolutely complete. We have everything, including many articles not to be had 

 elsewhere.

prices can be had for these, especially 

 as the supply of good roses increases 

 every day. 



Asters are being shipped in large 

 quantities in spite of the unfavorable 

 weather conditions that prevailed up to 

 August 10, but the greater part of them 

 are of poor quality. They receive little 

 attention from the buyers unless they 

 show good stem and flowers. Those 

 that lacK in quality can hardly be 

 moved at any price. The same is true 

 of the gladioli, which are a drug at 

 present. It appears to be about the 

 height of the season. It is a notable 

 feature that the enormous receipts con- 

 sist almost exclusively of the besf 

 named varieties, but the prices that 

 have to be accepted to secure a clean-up 

 are the prices that formerly prevailed 

 for mixtures. Easter lilies appear to 

 be more plentiful than heretofore and 

 there are large quantities of both ru- 

 brum and auratum lilies on the market. 

 With increased supplies of roses, asters 

 and gladioli, the lilies do not attract 

 any unusual amount of attention, al- 

 though they show good quality. Valley 

 is in good supply but, while there is no 

 heavy demand, there Is no oversupply. 

 CattleyaS are scarce and the demand is 

 stronger. Daisies are no longer seen in | 

 quantity. Sweet peas are not abun- 

 dant; there are scarcely any good ones. 

 It certainly has been a bad season for 

 the growers of outdoor peas. There is 

 nothing new in the green goods situa- 

 tion. , -, ,
