frSSV""- BEAUTIES 



Best the Market Ever Saw in July. 



Wc never saw their equal in summer — right up to win- 

 ter quality in color, size of bud, stem and foliage. You will 

 like these Beauties and We want your order. We 

 have a big cut on. Mostly long stems. 



GOOD ROSES AND GOOD CARNATIONS 



are in limited supply on this market at present — ^we have a 

 fair cut, but get your order in early in the day to get the 

 best selections. 



Plenty of good stock in all other lines. "Green Goods*' 

 that can't be beaten. Send to us for what you want and 

 you'll get the best stock in the market. 



FANCY VALLEY ALWAYS ON HAND ~^ 



We close at 6 p. m. during July and August.

The Market 



Several factors have operated to bring 

 about a considerable change in market 

 conditions since last report. The whole- 

 salers are unanimous in saying that trade 

 is excellent for July, some houses even 

 going so far as to state that they have 

 already done as much business, measured 

 hy dollars and cents, as in the whole of 

 July last year. At the same time the re- 

 tailers tell the old story of no summer 

 business except funeral work. It is the 

 shipping demand which is helping the 

 market. 



Receipts are now probably at the low- 

 est ebb. There is little really good ma- 

 terial coming in and receipts of all quali- 

 ties have been curtailed by replanting 

 operations, so that everything of usable 

 quality is being cleaned up at prices 

 which average excellent for July. 



One or two houses continue to have 

 g"od cuts of Beauties, but the general 

 supply has shortened in keeping with 

 everything else and prices have stif- 

 fened. Medium lengths are especially 

 scarce. Really good Prides and Maids 

 are hard to find but tliore is a fair cut 

 from young stock, of course not very 

 large or strong, which sells readily at 

 from $2 to $4 per hundred. Bride is 

 particularly in demand and the cut from 

 ol<l plants, what few are left, if clean, 

 sells quickly at good prices. Kaiserin 

 ^ells on sight. Liberty is not so much 

 ^^ evidence. Chatenay has lost value, as 

 ^ large part of the receipts are full 

 ol'^wn and unusable exeept for immediate 

 Working up in funeral iesigns. 



Nearly all the growers have thrown 

 out carnations preparatory to replanting 

 and receipts are light. White is in es- 

 pecially strong demand and difficult to 

 supply. Outdoor carnations are begin- 

 ning to make their appearance, but are 

 yet of poor quality. A few asters are 

 coming in and are generally good, con- 

 sidering the recent rains. They are sell- 

 ing up to $2 per hundred. 



Sweet peas are making better prices, 

 in keeping with other items, and outdoor 

 flowers are all selling better than they 

 were. Auratum lilies move readily and 

 a few Lilium album and rubrum are 

 useful in funeral work. Candidum is 

 gone. VaJley is in fair demand. 



There continue to be large receipts of 

 green goods with a slow market. Green 

 galax, new crop, has arrived earlier than 

 usual. 



Various Notes. 



Sophia Albertina Samuelson, mother 

 of Charles A. Samuelson, died on Sun- 

 day, aged 75 years. The funeral was 

 held on Tuesday afternoon, from Mr. 

 Samuelson 's residence, 2116 Indiana 

 avenue, interment being at Oakwoods. 



W. J. Smyth and family .came home 

 very unexpectedly from Lake Marie, be- 

 cause of a death from diphtheria in an 

 adjoining cottage. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of E. C. Amling's, 

 is at his old home in Cincinnati for a 

 two weeks' visit, accompanied by his 

 wife and daughter, 



Kennicott Bros. Co. is receiving some 

 nice Lilium album and roseum, the first 

 seen in the market.' 



E. 0. Amling reports a very fine de- 

 mand for Beauties, the price having 



stiffened somewhat in the last few days. 



The marriage of Miss Anita Wilkins 

 and Leonard H. Vaughan took place 

 Monday evening at the First Presbyte- 

 rian Church, in the presence of several 

 hundred guests. The ceremony was fol- 

 lowed by a reception at the home of the 

 bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan 

 will sail for Europe on Saturday to be 

 absent three months. 



Mrs. Horton is again at her desk at 

 Bassett & Washburn 's after a few 

 weeks' vacation. 



F. W. Timme has returned from a ten 

 days' outing at The Dells of Wisconsin. 



The Rookery building is far from what 

 its name would imply. The rotunda is 

 of white marble inlaid with gold leaf 

 and the staircase is set off by two large 

 Boston ferns recently placed in the mar- 

 ble vases. They are a fine addition and 

 the use of plants in the large office 

 buildings is one which might profitably 

 be encouraged. 



Weiland & Risch have Killarney and 

 Richmond among their rose novelties for 

 next season. Plants of both are making 

 a fine growth. 



George Reinberg will have, besides 

 stock for planting his own place, about 

 125,000 field-grown carnation plants for 

 the trade. His stock is growing finely. 



Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Hauswirth re- 

 turned on Sunday from a week's visit 

 at Buffalo. 



Mangel is out with a new automobile 

 delivery wagon with plate glass sides. 



Vaughan & Sperry are receiving large 

 quantities of gladioli from an Ohio 

 grower. The bulk of them are moved
