The Market. 



Business continues very satisfactory, 

 with a steady demand and adequate sup- 

 ply. The moderate weather has helped 

 greatly in sustaining the value of stock 

 and also the quality. Some extra fancy 

 carnations are still to be had and they 

 find a ready market. While the majority 

 of roses are now very small, still there 

 are some that may be rated as very good. 

 Peonies are fast becoming a thing of tha 

 past. Last week great quantities of 

 them were sold and the demand at pres- 

 ent is greater than the supply. A few 

 gladioli are to be had and sell fairly 

 well. Some very fine sweet peas are com- 

 ing in from local growers and they are 

 very good property. Lilies of all kin^ls 

 are scarce and, as usual, there is a good 

 demand for them. There have been plentv 

 of candidums but now they are about 

 over. Eastern fancy ferns are in and sell 

 well. Other greens are equal to the de- 

 mand. 



Variotis ^otes. 



The comnuttee in charge of the social 

 meeting of the Florists' Society to be 

 held Thursday evening, June 23, has 

 everything in readiness. The election of 

 oflScers will take place, followed by their 

 installation. There will be cigars, 

 liquid comforts and sandwiches for the 

 men, and ice cream, cake and lemonade 

 for the ladies. All club members an-l 

 the ladies are invited to be present. 



The florists' outing committee has de- 

 cided to hold our annual outing at Coney 

 Island on July 21. At present their plans 

 are scarcely matured but there will be 

 the usual bowling contests, also ball 

 games, besides any number of other 

 amusements that are on the grounds. The 

 committee is making especial effort and 

 a great time is looked for this year. 



Yet another wholesale house is to soon 

 bud out in our midst. This time C. E. 

 Critchell, late of the Atlanta Floral Co., 

 but whose home is in this city, is the 

 man behind the enterprise. He will open 

 within the week at 36 East Third street. 

 The large size of the wholesale business 

 in this city is at last being realized and 

 we can scarcely do more than to wel- 

 come the late arrivals to share the vast 

 profits that have been made in the whole- 

 sale business since a wholesale house was 

 first started in this city some eighteen 

 years ago. 



All the wholesale houses of importance 

 have made an agreement to close their 

 stores at 5 p. m. beginning July 1, till 

 further notice. This will not interfere

Grand Haven, Mich. — In settling up 

 the estate of the late George Hancock, 

 the greenhouse property of George Han- 

 cock & Son was sold in chancery on June 

 18, James G. Hancock, the surviving 

 partner, has not yet decided where he will 

 locate but will look around before mak- 

 ing a decision. He has already received 

 a number of offers to locate in other 

 places. 



IN THE MERRY MONTH OF JUNE. 



April showers brought May flowers 

 Smiling on the vales and hills, 



But the florists bring whole forests 

 Of 'way-last -December bills!
