The Market. 



While trade is not so lively that it is 

 keeping any of us working overtime, still 

 everyone seems to have pretty good busi- 

 ness and it has a steadiness that looks 

 good. The demand for stock of all kinds 

 is good and, though prices are not es- 

 pecially high, the amount of stock that 

 is being handled makes up for that a 

 great deal. Weddings and commence- 

 ments are the cause of what trade there 

 is and prospects point toward a very 

 good June business. 



Eoses have dropped to summer condi- 

 tions with great rapidity this year, and 

 those to be had at present look more like 

 July roses than one usually sees in June. 

 Beauties from the north are still pretty 

 good, but Brides and Maids are pretty 

 poor and many of them are suffering 

 from mildew. 



Carnations are coming in large numbers 

 and many of them are fine. Others 

 though show the effects of the hot weath- 

 er and are almost unsalable when they 

 arrive at the wholesale houses. W. J. 

 Eodgers is cutting some very fine car- 

 nations for any time of the year. And 

 those being received from the B. K. & B. 

 Floral Co., of Richmond, Ind., are as 

 fine as in mid-winter. 



Daisies, stocks, sweet alyssum, corn- 

 flower and feverfew are all in good de- 

 mand and there is enough to fill all or- 

 ders. Sweet peas are selling very well 

 but at a very low price. Lilies are also 

 very good property. Peonies have been 

 very good this year but those in this part 

 of the country were unfortunate in not 

 blooming for Decoration day. Never- 

 theless, they sold very well. The crop 

 is just about over now, but cold storage 

 ones are to be had and there is a good 

 demand for them at 50 cents per dozen. 

 "Green goods" are in fairly good sup- 

 ply and selling well. 



Club Meeting. 



Saturday evening the regular meeting 

 of the Florists ' Society was held. There 

 was not a very large gathering of thp 

 members but those present were enthusi- 

 astic. Nominations for board of direct- 

 ors were in order and the following ten 

 gentlemen were named from which num- 

 ber five will be elected at the next met- 

 ing: Geo. Murphy, Chas. Murphy, R.Wit- 

 terstaetter, Wm. Schumann, Ben. George, 

 Jas. Allan, W. Rodgers. D. Rusconi, Aug. 

 Hoffmeister and Gus Adrian. 



It was decided to hold the election 

 of officers on Thursday, June 23. A com-
