The Market. 



Last week the weather became cooler 

 and cloudy, with occasional showers. 

 This was favorable f6r the newly set 

 carnations and chrysanthemum plants. 

 The work of budding roses and other 

 stock in the nurseries has been stopped, 

 and the quality of some outdoor varie- 

 ties of flowers has been affected. The 

 supply of carnations has decreased. 

 Boses, asters and many perennials have 

 come in freely. Auratum lilies of good 

 quality are plentiful, and rubrum has 

 just made its appearance. There are 

 practically no orchids on the market. 



Florists who venture an estimate 

 think business for July has exceeded 

 that of last year by a considerable 

 margin. There was a steady run of 

 funeral work last week, slightly above 

 the average in quantity. As there was 

 little waste, the general condition of 

 the market may be said to be quite 

 satisfactory. 



Various Notes. 



Niklas & Son had a summer window 

 display consisting of a tank with water 

 lilies in the center, and blooming plants 

 and ornamentals set in a floor of fresh 

 green moss.
