The Market. 



The past week has been one of tlie best 

 of the June season in spite of the fact 

 that school exercises are about at an end 

 and this feature of the demand has been 

 rapidly dwindling away. Shipping trade 

 has been very good, most of the material 

 being evidently either for wedding deco- 

 rations or funeral work. Local trade, 

 which has not been especially good this 

 spring with most of the retailers, has 

 taken a spurt in the last few days, 

 largely because of a rise in the death 

 rate. Funeral work has been and is 

 in very brisk demand, but weddings are 

 also numerous. 



Since last report receipts have dimin- 

 ished to a considerable extent.. This is 

 particularly noticeable of carnations, 

 which are by no means as plentiful as they 

 were a week ago, and the result is that 

 averages to the growers are much im- 

 proved in spite of the fact that quality 

 IS no longer what can be called good. 

 Jt begins to look as though carnations 

 would realize pretty fair values, quality 

 foiisidered, from now until outdoor car- 

 ""tions and asters begin to affect the 

 niurket. 



I'here is a diminishing cut from old 

 localities and an increasing cut from 

 >"uug stock. In neither is the color 

 n'sKlass, but the young stuff in gen- 

 ^i«^l is much better than the old. Good 

 f Hies and Maids are verv hard to find 

 ;""' command good summer prices. The 

 I'w grade material has also shortened 

 ^ I ' out still serves to pull down the av- 

 , ' 'Se, as it is not wanted. A few 



serins continue to make good prices. 



Liberty is plentiful and so is Chatenay, 

 but both are small. 



Calla lilies are gone and there are 

 fewer Harrisii than at any time in six 

 months. Auratums are just beginning 

 but candidums are coming in heavily 

 this week, selling only moderately well. 

 Indoor sweet peas are at an end, but 

 the market is glutted with the outdoor 

 stock, principally Blanche Ferry of only 

 medium quality. Naturally prices are 

 low. There are all kinds of seasonable 

 outdoor flowers in quantity, especially 

 Shasta daisies. Peonies are still abun- 

 dant and will continue so to the end of 

 the season. In fact, it is predicted that 

 the market will have plentiful supplies 

 to the middle of July and only moder- 

 ate prices are being received, except for 

 some special fancy stock. ' * Green goods ' ' 

 have been in good demand, but are very 

 abundant and reports from the growers 

 indicate that July will see the market 

 badly glutted with this specialty. 



Practically all the wholesale houses 

 will close at 5 p. m. during July and 

 August. 



Exuent the Meteor. 



The Meteor rose has almost disap- 

 peared from this market. One by one 

 the growers have been dropping it until 

 not one of them has planted it in quan- 

 tity for next season. J. A. Budlong 

 was for years very successful with Me- 

 teor and had quite a lot of it last year, 

 but will not grow it again. Wietor Bros, 

 have a few Meteor, but cut it down every 

 year. The larger growers plant Liberty 

 and the smaller ones have dropped red 

 altogether. Richmond has been very 

 largely planted here, considering its 

 price, for one-third the sales of this nov- 



elty, or about 50,000 plants, are growing 

 for the Chicago market, and doing nicely. 

 Nearly all the growers have dropped 

 Perle, and Ivory is no longer grown. On 

 the other hand, Chatenay has been 

 planted in increased quantity. 



Variotis Notes. 



In the absence of the president Ed 

 Kanst presided at last week's club meet- 

 ing. The principal business was the 

 appointment of a committee to arrange 

 for a special meeting to try to arouse 

 convention enthusiasm. It will take 

 place at 7:30 tomorrow evening at the 

 Bismarck. 



Miss Pearl Fulmer, of Des Moines, is 

 in town for a month's vocal study. 



Theodore Wirth, of Hartford, Conn., 

 was a visitor last week en route to 

 Minneapolis and again on Monday, when 

 he was joined by R. H. Warder in going 

 to Buffalo to the park superintendents' 

 convention. 



The E. F. Winterson Co. has been 

 handling some nice cut sprays of Crim- 

 son Rambler. The retailers found them 

 a pleasing novelty. 



A. L. Randall and family have gone 

 to their farm on the St. Joe river in 

 Michigan and will be seen no more until 

 the peaches are harvested. 



N. J. Wietor, Adam Zender, John and 

 Henry Muno have returned from a 

 week's fishing in Wisconsin high waters. 



There is quite a surplus of bedding 

 stock this year. 



The George Wittbold Co. is clearing 

 away one of the greenhouses at its 

 Buckingham place store to make room 

 for a new office building 20x32. They 

 have received sampl/^, plants of Ne-
