The Market 



Summer conditions prevail every- 

 where and are rather discouraging to 

 the trade in general. There is plenty 

 of variety in stock, but the quality is 

 just average for the season. Carnations 

 are graduallv becoming scarcer, but are 

 still plentiful enough to meet the de- 

 mand. Roses are hardly a salable prod- 

 uct, with the exception of Ulrich Brun- 

 ner, which is of fine color and quality. 

 Sweet peas are a drug on the market; 

 there seems to be no uniform price 

 asked. 



Various Notes. 



Herbert & Fleishauer, of McMinn- 

 ville, made the first shipment of asters 

 last week, which were of good quality. 

 They say they have some surprises for 

 the market this season. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Chappell left last 

 week for a trip to New York and Vir- 

 ginia and will be absent for about six 

 weeks. 



C. B. Knickman, representing Mc- 

 Hutchison & Co., of New York, was 

 calling on the trade last week. 



Fred Wiederman is being congratu- 

 lated, the occasion being a baby girl.

The Market. 



"Too much of all kinds of stock," 

 was the remark of a wholesaler the 

 other day, but half an hour afterward 

 the same wholesaler had the telephone 

 wires hot trying to buy valley and or- 

 chids, of which the supply had run out. 

 And this is true of other kinds of 

 stock; the highest quality only finds a 

 market at anything like a fair price. 

 Yet we still see funeral pieces going, 

 out made of stale flowers, ready to fall, 

 while there are plenty of good flowers 

 going to waste in the stores. All kinds 

 of garden flowers are being peddled 

 about town by owners of back lots, and 

 this naturally makes matters worse for 

 the trade grower. The lavender and 

 yellow centaureas are now at their best 

 and are fine for making up into sprays 

 for funeral work. Every season brings 

 a greater variety into the orchids 

 shown in the stores and the hybrid 

 laslio-cattleyas are becoming much 

 more generally known than formerly. 



The new fern, Glory of Mordrecht, is 

 not coming up to expectations here as 

 a cut fern, but the plants are pretty 

 and stand well in the stores. Greens 

 of most kinds are plentiful and good. 

 Boston ferns are in much better supply. 

 Though there are not many flowering 

 )lants, the probability is that there 

 would be little demand for them. The 

 pretty variegated pteris, P. argyraea, 

 sells well. 



Various Notes. 



Morris Goldenson left July 20 for San 

 Diego for a fishing trip. 



S. Murata has left for parts unknown 

 for his vacation. 



John Morley paid a flying visit to 

 this city last week, in company with 

 Mrs. Morley and their daughter, who
