The Market 



Business last week was fair for this 

 time of the year, and receipts were large. 

 This was not unexpected, as the season is 

 at hand when such conditions usually 

 prevail. Outdoor roses are coming in 

 and- are now plentiful. There are large 

 cuts of carnations, and the quality in 

 general is good, although there are many 

 of inferior quality. The selects retail 

 at 75 cents per dozen, while the common 

 price is 50 cents. There is a good sup- 

 ply of sweet peas and good stock sells 

 well. Lavender, pink and white have 

 first call, and all growers have them at 

 50 cents per hundred. Peonies have been 

 plentiful and will be for a few days 

 longer, although the flush of the crop 

 is marketed. Roses are getting smaller 

 and the quality is not so good. Beauties 

 still hold their own and have been called 

 for more than usual. The short and 

 medium stems come in large quantities, 

 prices continuing satisfactory. 



The usual number of June weddings 

 have taken place, with more to follow. 

 Counter sales have kept up remarkably 

 the last ten days, owing to the demand 

 for flowers for commencement exercises. 

 The sale of bedding plants is about at 

 an end, as everybody is nearly sold out. 



Variottt Notes. 



A nimiber of social afl'airs took place 

 last week, among which was the Uni- 

 versity Club ball. The decorations were 

 very good and were along the same lines 

 as last year, the work being done by 

 A. H. Bush, of the Daniels & Fisher 

 Stores Co. The opening of the Overland

Club races was another, derby day call- 

 ing for large numbers of white and red 

 flowers for dinners, etc. Red and white 

 are the club colors. 



J. A. Valentine and N. A. Benson are 

 at Gunnison fishing for trout. As they 

 are both expert fishermen, and are at 

 the best place in the state, they will 

 likely ship or bring home more fish than 

 they know what to do with, •

NEW ORLEANS. 



Horticultural Society. 



The monthly meeting of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society was well 

 attended, and some important business 

 was transacted. The first discussion was 

 concerning next fall 's flower show. A 

 communication was read from the lady 

 members of the New Orleans Floral 

 Association. Their proposition was dis- 

 cussed by the members and almost ac- 

 cepted in full. When taking a final 

 vote, however, the idea of holding a show 

 was defeated, and it was postponed to a 

 later date. C. W. Eichling gave a full 

 account of his trip to Chattanooga, in 

 the interests of organizing the Inter-

 urer Joseph Stockier collected the initia- 

 tion fee of $1 from the members who 

 have joined the new .society. 



It has been decided that the first con- 

 vention will take place in New Orleans, 

 and will likely be some time around our 

 carnival season. There is also some 

 talk about having a flower show at the 

 same time and in conjunction, although 

 it is entirely left to the new society to 

 act and decide upon anything in the 

 matter.
