The Market. 



The last two weeks have brought 

 us to the beginning of the dull suninier 

 season. Business has been good right 

 along, and at times it has been hard to 

 get enough flowers, but now that the 

 commencements are all over, and many 

 people are going to their summer homes, 

 we can expect things to be dull. There 

 have not been so many good June wed- 

 dings as usual thus far. Funeral work 

 has been good, however, and the busi- 

 ness in bedding plants has been the 

 best ever, and continues to hold up, in 

 spite of the hot summer weather. 



Roses are rather short in crop as well 

 as in quality, and gladioli are beginning 

 to appear to help out in their place. 

 There are almost no outdoor-grown 

 flowers on the market at present except 

 sweet peas. It would be profitable to 

 grow more of the good perennials for 

 this time of the year. I have not seen 

 so much as a vase of coreopsis or gail- 

 lardia on sale this season. 



The planting of hardy perennials 

 seems to have been heavier this spring 

 than usual, and there is every indica- 

 tion that it will be still heavier this 

 fall. The trade would do well to grow 

 a wider variety of these useful plants. 



Various Notes. 



There was a spirited discussion in 

 the daily press this season of the desir- 

 ability of May 30 being observed as 

 Memorial day here, as it is in the rest 

 of the country. Mr. Lewis wrote some 

 good articles, that were published as 

 editorial matter, and the discussion by 

 readers was interesting. Little, if any, 

 demand was created for flowers, but 

 another year, if the same program is 

 carried out in time, there should be 

 some results. Such things come slowly, 

 but the trade needs this holiday and 

 should educate the public accordingly. 



Why does not some one in the trade 

 see that the State Fair Association pro- 

 vides classes for exhibits in this line? 

 It is done in most other states, and 

 would be productive of good to the 

 trade if it were done here. Another 

 year should not be allowed to pass 

 without this having been done. To

 they have not made especially low 



prices, they have used their windows

 great deal to clean up a surplus at
