DAYTON, O. :.^. ^^-j 



The Market. 



Business seems. to have settled down 

 to a midsummer lethargy, with little 

 doing in any line. Florists are com- 

 plaining of the business stagnation, but 

 no improvement is noticeable at pres- 

 ent. The overabundance of gladioli, 

 dahlias, snapdragons, sweet peas, etc., 

 still exists, and only a, sipall amount is 

 moving. Sweet peas are exceptionally 

 fine for this section, owing, in part, to 

 the plentiful rain. , ,C(ai;natioi;i9," Ijave 

 nearly all succumbed to- th« extremelyin 

 hot weather, and roses are not being 

 bragged about. Asters are now putting 

 in their appearance, and, so far, prom- 

 ise a fine crop this year. Field carna- 

 tions are ,dpipgii?fpl^,,,, • , ,
