The Market. 



There is a slight improvement from 

 the depressing conditions of one week 

 ago. The aster crop has suffered from 

 the heat and rain and overabundance 

 past remedying. Now asters are on 

 the wane. Those that are coming into 

 town sell a little better, when good, but 

 most of them are of the last-end-of-the- 

 crop variety and not desirable in these 

 critical days. Gladioli, too, are fast 

 disappearing. This leaves a great field 

 for the dahlia. With the cooler weather 

 this grand fall flower is coming into 

 form. Every variety and shade of color 

 is offered in quantity, but the demand 

 comes slowly. 



Boses are quite plentiful. Many of 

 them show the effect of the heat, but 

 some are wonderfully good for the sea- 

 son. There are quite a few novelties 

 and rather more of those that were 

 novelties last season. Carnations are 

 getting better and the flowers are ex- 

 cellent, but most of the stems still are 

 rather short. Valley is plentiful. So 

 are orchids. The arrival of Cattleya 

 labiata is coincident with a fall in 

 price. Oncidiums, dendrobiums and 

 Vanda casrulea complete the list. Yel- 

 low, and a few white, chrysanthemums 

 continue to arrive. Asparagus, adian- 

 tum and smilax abound. Wild smilax 

 has come.
