The Market. 



I ■ . Conditions have changed consider- 

 ably since last report, for there has 

 been some rain to help plants and flow- 

 ers. Flowery are plentiful, with the 

 efcention. of sweet peas, which are not 

 oiily scarce but small and short- 

 sfiBmmed, Gladioli are coming into the 

 market in good condition now and they 

 afe quite plentiful. . America is the 

 favorite and brings the highest price. 

 Garden flowers, such as gaillardias, 

 larkspurs, centaureas and snapdragons, 

 are still in demand. Carnations at last 

 show the effects of the hot weather, for 

 they are small, poor in color and sleepy- 

 looking. The price, howev«r, is still 

 high. Asters are quite plentiful, and 

 they are good in quality too. The sum- 

 mer flower buyers steer clear of the 

 early fall flowers, nevertheless, for they 

 seem to hasten the coming of autumn, 

 which many of us would be pleased to 

 hold back as long as possible. Roses of 

 all kinds are good, but small. Milady is 

 a splendid summer rose and the outdoor 

 Taft roses are also fine.
