which continued throughout the spring 

 and thus far into the summer has no 

 parallel within the recollection of the 

 proverbial "oldest inhabitant" con- 

 nected with the florists' fraternity. 

 The conditions have been exceptionally 

 discouraging to indoor growers, who 

 have hoped in vain day after day and 

 week after week for just a little sun- 

 shine. Eose growers are still hoping 

 that the latter part of August and the 

 early fall will bring them a sufficient 

 amount of clear weather to enable them 

 to make up. in some measure for the 

 heavy loss sustained thus far in the 

 season. At best it hardly seems possi- 

 ble, from the present outlook, to bring 

 the crops up to the average quantities.

The Market. 



The market is extremelv dull. Many 

 who were fairly busy during the earlier 

 weeks of the summer have almost noth- 

 ing to do. There are a few funerals 

 and occasionally a wedding, but even 

 these do not keep the florists busy, ex- 

 cept in spurts. This condition, however, 

 is to be expected at this time of the 

 year. 



Last week was much more pleasant 

 than the week preceding. The weather 

 was warmer. This gave the growers arC 

 opportunity to cultivate their fields, and 

 check the growth of weeds that the 

 heavy rains started. 



Asters and gladioli continue to arrive 

 in large quantities, and form the staple 

 cut flowers. Roses are not so plentiful 

 or of so good quality as those of other 

 seasons, but they are sufficient for the 

 slack trade of this season. The inflow 

 of dahlias does not seem to increase. 

 Only a few cosmos are seen. Many flo- 

 rists make liberal use of Boston, maid- 

 enhair and other ferns in their window 

 decorations. 



General business conditions in 

 Newark have slightly improved. Trad- 

 ing is still slack, owing to the season 

 and the business depression which the 

 country has been experiencing. There 

 are indications, however, that there will 

 be considerable improvement during the 

 coming fall and winter, and that busi- 

 ness will be better than the correspond-
