The Market. 



Not a large business is expected at 

 this season of the year, but the demand 

 for cut flowers last week was very good 

 and larger than anticipated, one large 

 funeral out of town helping out to a 

 large extent. Nearly every retailer 

 makes the statement that business in 

 August was from ten to twenty per cent 

 better than August of last year, and 

 September has started very well A 

 large crowd of G. A. B. people, as' well 

 a^ tourists accompanying them, filled 

 the city to its fullest the first week of 

 the month but they did not buy many 

 flowers. However, their money will get 

 into circulation shortly and we will all 

 get a shot at it. 



The supply of American Beauties is 

 increasing and a good demand prevails. 

 Some extra fine flowers are seen at some 

 of the large stores, prices for the best 

 grades being $5 and $6 per dozen, re- 

 tail; others down to $3, according to 

 quality. Brides and Bridesmaids are 

 now plentiful and are in very good 

 shape. Other varieties of roses are also 

 increasing in number, Liberty being very 

 nice and selling well. 



Carnations are not arriving in any 

 large number, and are still short of stem 

 and are small flowers. Asters are in great 

 quantity. Really good whites sell well. 

 There are not so many purple ones on 

 the market as in former years. There 

 are large quantities of inferior asters 

 which have the effect of keeping down 

 the price of good ones. Lilies are quite 

 plentiful and the flowers are very good; 

 they retail at 25 cents per bloom. Sweet 

 peas are nearly over, being short of 

 stem and small flowers; they are being 

 retailed by some of the stores for 5 cents 

 per bunch of twenty-five. Dahlias are 

 in season. 



Varioas Notes. 



The Scott Floral Co. has a very attrac- 

 tive window of Twentieth Century dah- 

 lias. 



All the stores had windows especially 

 decorated in honor of the G. A. K. 



J. A. Valentine and B. E. Gillis, of 

 the Park Floral Co., were well pleased 

 with their trip east. Mr. Valentine left 

 almost immediately for California to 

 join Mrs. Valentine on a trip to Port- 

 land and Seattle. 



The bowling season has opened and 

 the Florists' League has called a meet- 

 ing to reorganize, on Monday, Septem- 

 ber 18. E. S. K.
