The flower beds at the different parks 

 and at private places are looking bad 

 and the lawns are burnt up, as there

 months, but the weather man tells us 

 relief is in sight this week.

 tract with greenhouses, to cost $20,000,

The market at the time of this writ- 

 ing presents a July aspect. There is 

 but a limited supply of stock and only a 

 part of this stock consists of first-class 

 blooms. The rest, however, is fair, when 

 growing conditions generally and the 

 adversities of the weather are consid- 

 ered. The demand, both in this city 

 and from out of town, is active and has 

 been taking up almost all of the offer- 

 ings. 



The cat of roses is small and all are 

 selling at sight. Some Maman Cochet 

 of good quality are included in the li»t

of rose offerings. Lilies are scarce for 

 the time being, but should soon be in 

 good supply. Gladiolus receipts are 

 larger than they were and sell nicely. 

 The carnation cut is shortening rapidly. 

 Both valley and orchids are adequate 

 for present requirements. The fine, 

 large cut of sweet peas that has been 

 coming in has been selling readily, but 

 Monday, June 22, they crowded up 

 somewhat. Peonies had a good call dur- 

 ing the last week. Sales of water lilies 

 are only fair. Other offerings include 

 Shasta daisies, cornflowers, feverfew, 

 coreopsis and the like. The green goods 

 supply is adequate.

L. H. Kyrk has been receiving some 

 fine Shasta daisies from Geo. Klotter.
