The Market 



Business shows a little improvement 

 over last week, but at that it is nothing 

 to brag of, and we could stand a lot 

 more without working ourselves to death. 

 The weather is much cooler, and if it 

 only holds for a while it ought to have 

 a good effect upon business. Several 

 large decorations are on for this week, 

 and they will use up a good lot of 

 blooms, which will tend to keep the 

 market cleared out, and tnis will nat- 

 urally stiffen prices a little. It is to be 

 hoped that the rise will be permanent. 



Gladioli have been selling poorly this 

 year, and there have been too many of 

 them, but now that the bulk of the 

 blooms have been cut it looks as if the 

 demand for them will increase, and the 

 price advance. Some first-class stock has 

 been coming into this market, but the 

 price realized for it must have greatly 

 discouraged the growers. Asters have 

 been doing better the last week, and the 

 prospects are that the price obtained 

 for them from now on will be quite sat- 

 isfactory. The quality of the stock is 

 good, and blooms shipped from the north 

 are improving daily. There will be a 

 good supply of these flowers until frost. 



Boses are coming in fairly large quan- 

 tities, but most of them are short- 

 stemmed, of poor quality, and are sold 

 at job lot prices. There are scarcely 

 any American Beauties, and other red 

 roses are scarce. Carnations are coming 

 in larger quantities every day, and the 

 quality is improving. They are selling 

 well and at good prices for the grade 

 of blooms. It will not be long till some 

 good stock can be obtained. Tuberoses 

 are selling well. Lilies also meet a good 

 demand. The maitet is well supplied 

 with green goods. 



Various Notes. 



The Cincinnati delegation, some eighty 

 strong, pulled out of the C. H. & D. 

 depot on the morning of August 21, and 

 betore the train arrived at Dayton twen- 

 ty delegates had been picked up along 

 the .route. The majority of those who 

 went are now at home again busily at 

 work, and one and all express them- 

 selves as greatly pleased at the reception 

 tendered them at the hands of the Day- 

 ton florists. That the convention was 

 a great success will be testiiiea to by all 

 of those who were lucky enough to be 

 present and to partake of the good 

 things. 



Cincinnati has been visited by a num- 

 ber of eonventionites, who have been 

 visiting the various greenhouse plants. 



The next regular meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Society will be held in the club-
