SAQINAW, MICH. 



The Market. 



Business was good last week, although 

 weather conditions were most unfavora- 

 ble. It rained almost every day. The 

 w^^her was much too cool for this 

 t£m4 of the year. Carnation planting, 

 which had a fine start, has been de- 

 layed by the wet weather. Outdoor 

 flowers have suffered because of the 

 continued rains, especially asters. 

 Sweet peas are completely ruined. 



Various Notes. 



The arrangements for the outing of 

 the Saginaw-Bay City Floricultural So- 

 ciety, which will take place August 25 

 at Frankenmuth, a 15-mile ride from 

 Saginaw, have been completed. Charles 

 Frueh is chairman of the entertainment 

 committee. A special car leaves Bay 

 City at 7:30 a. m., and Saginaw at 8 

 a. m. Everyone is looking forward to a 

 big time. A whole day without busi- 

 ness cares will be a. benefit to all. The 

 attendance is expected to reach the 100 

 mark. The sports for the day will be 

 many. Proprietors of Bay City and 

 Saginaw will have a 5-inning game of 

 baseball. 



Zom & Gaertner say that asters are 

 not of the quality they should be. The 

 heavy rains are doinoj much damage. 

 This concern has nearly seven acres de- 

 voted to asters, which form their main 

 summer crop. A loss would mean much 

 to them. 



F. H. Stevens, of the Stevens Gladioli 

 Co., who lost his entire stock of bulbs 

 by fire last March, has turned his 

 acreage into lots. He is growing bulbs,

but not in such quantity as in the past. 



Desner & Fisher are adding two 

 greenhouses to their range, which will 

 give them about one-third more glass. 



Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Thayer, of Mid- 

 land, Mich., visited the trade August 9. 

 Mr. Thayer is much pleased with this 

 summer's business. Funeral work has 

 been plentiful. The erection of two 

 houses and the installation of more 

 boiler capacity is under way. Gee.

The Market. 



There has been little change in the 

 market since the last report. Gladioli 

 are not coming in so heavily as for- 

 merly. Asters are better in quality, but 

 are only in fair supply. The decreased 

 supply and better quality brought 

 prices up to a fair level. Lilies are 

 overplentiful. They were especially so 

 the latter part of last week, when the 

 price dropped and the demand fell off. 

 Beauties were moving fairly well, but 

 this week the demand fell down flat. 

 The rose situation may be called poor
