The Market. 



We are getting the warmest weather 

 of the season and trade is at its lowest 

 ebb. Outside of funeral work there is 

 little doing, and wholesale flower cir- 

 cles have a half deserted appearance. 

 Most of the growers are now sending 

 nothing in. The majority of the rose 

 and carnation men are through plant- 

 ing. The supply of roses has slightly 

 increased, but they clean up fairly well. 

 Of carnations a few small blooms still 



arrive, but they cut little figure. Sweet 

 peas are not good. The heavy rains 

 have spoiled many of them, and those 

 coming are mostly short-stemmed. 



Asters and gladioli are the two lead- 

 ers. Many of the asters were destroyed 

 by the incessant rains. Good flowers 

 sell well, but there are many poor ones. 

 Gladioli are in overwhelming supply 

 and are hard to move. Valley con- 

 tinues poor. Lilies are abundant and 

 there is a considerable assortment of 

 annuals and perennials. Cattleyas are 

 scarce and dear. Few gardenias are 

 coming in. 



Various Notes. 



Neither the Boston Cooperative Mar- 

 ket nor the Boston Flower Exchange 

 will hold its annual auction sale of 

 stalls this season. The directors in 

 each market have decided to" give all 

 stallholders the privilege of renting 

 their present stalls at last year 's prices. 

 There is some grumbling over this 

 policy, but the majority of stallholders 

 and growers favor it.

 years had handled roses from W, H. 

 Mprris, of Wellesley Hills, is looking
