ROSES 



BBAUTIB8 are fast coming into form and showing fine. 

 About enough in all lengths to meet call. BKiDBci and 

 MAIO^ are getting reallv good, so at the present time some 

 fairly fine stock can be had. RICBMOliD also is in fine 

 shape, both in flower and stem. KItIi%RNKV has made 

 quite a showing on this market and is generally liked

The Market. 



After being away from home nearly 

 two weeks, we found the market about 

 the same as when we left it and business 

 among the different retailers as usual 

 during the month of August. About the 

 only demand is for white flowers for 

 funeral work, which i^ the only kind of 

 work that is being made up just now. 

 Th6 opening of the schools this week 



should help, as well as the opening of all 

 the downtown theaters. Stock at the 

 four wholesale houses runs about the 

 same. In looking it over Monday morn- 

 ing, September 2, we found plenty of 

 asters in all colors and, as that was 

 Labor day, the demand was quite good 

 for this stock. The late comers found 

 the best stock of it pretty well sold out. 

 There are plenty of roses in the market, 

 but not of the best grades. Thousands 

 of short-stemmed stock are being dumped. 

 There are too many gladioli in the mar- 

 ket, also tliberose stalks. Carnations are 

 very poor. Here and there a bunch or 

 two of good ones come in, but very few. 

 Quite a lot of short and medium Beau- 

 ties are coming in, which sell well. In 

 greens everything is in plenty.
