The Market. 



Convention week and the one preced- 

 ing it have been dull these many years, 

 and this year is no exception to the 

 rule. Tfie market is overwhelmed with 

 hydrangeas, gladioli, asters and short- 

 stemmed roses. Many of our leading 

 citizens are at Minneapolis, or still at 

 mountain resorts or at the seashore. It 

 is simply the inevitable yearly stagna- 

 tion, only more this year than ever. 

 Shipments of roses begin to show a 

 slight improvement. The few first-class 

 Beauties and novelties that arrive are, 

 of course, snapped up quickly. Shawyer 

 and Milady are especially appreciated, 

 and Double White Killarney as well. A 

 general improvement in quality of all 

 the roses is already evident. Of the 

 short-stemmed stock no values can be 

 safely quoted. 



Carnations are few and largely unsal- 

 able. There is a tremendous loss in 

 asters; only the best and the selected 

 are called for. The great mass of the 

 arrivals go for any price that is offered, 

 and most of them are in the ice-box 

 until crowded into the street and carted 

 away. Almost the same conditions char- 

 acterize the gladiolus market. Only the 

 new varieties and America seem to be 

 wanted. The most of the shipments sell 

 at 50 cents a hundred and under. Vast 

 quantities do not sell at all. Every re- 

 tail window is now filled with ferns and 

 Hydrangea paniculata. Valley and lilies 

 are firm at present quotations. Some 

 fine rubrums are in the market. Orchids 

 are lower again, and abundant. The 

 weather has been exceptionally favor- 

 able in the east this season for out- 

 door flowers. There has been no con- 

 tinuous and abnormal heat such as the 

 west has suffered, and there have been 

 abundant rains. Cosmos and dahlias are 

 arriving. 



Various Notes. 



Chairman Bunyard's report on con- 

 vention matters August 16 was encour- 

 aging. He then anticipated an attend- 

 ance of forty, and nearly this number 

 had been booked at that time, the inev- 

 itable last-hour arrivals being depended 

 on to round out the even number-*nd so 

 fill the two special cars. Every comfort 

 for the excursionists has been provided 

 and a delightful trip is anticipated for 

 all.

 Cotsonas & Co. and Lecakes & Co. was
