The Market. 



The last week has been extremely hot, 

 in fact, regular midsummer weather. 

 There has been plenty of rain, enough 

 to hinder field work the latter part of 

 the week. The trade has been busy 

 getting in new soil and planting chrys- 

 anthemums and carnations. There will 

 be few left to plant in another week at 

 the present rate. 



There have been more chrysanthemum 

 plants shipped from this city to other 

 parts of the south this season, I am 

 told, than ever before. There are plenty 

 on hand yet. There are plenty of good 

 carnation plants in the hands of the 

 growers. There was never more good 

 stock for sale here or better distributed 

 among the growers. 



Eoses are in better supply than they 

 were a few weeks ago, but there are 

 few Beauties. These, with gladioli and 

 sweet peas, constitute the greater part 

 of the cut flowers at present. 



Business has been dull during the last 

 week, except for a few funerals and a 

 wedding or two, and there is little pros- 

 pect of better conditions till fall. 



Various Notes. 



The Hillcrest School Farm is digging 

 bulbs at present. I saw some hyacinths 

 that they had dug that were as sound 

 as a dollar, and there were a few as 

 large as twelve inches in circumference, 

 the largest hyacinth bulbs that I have 

 ever seen. Their tulips are also of good 

 quality.
