The Great Central Market. 



A week of unseasonably hot weather 

 has had a depressing effect upon the 

 market. For five or six days the tem- 

 perature has been 10 to 15 degrees 

 above the normal for the time of the 

 year, and all lines of business are feel- 

 ing the effect. We are having 85 de- 

 grees in the shade, with a minimum of 

 72 degrees at night, at a date when we 

 usually begin to look for our first frosts. 



Not only has the warm weather taken 

 the desire for flowers from the public, 

 but it has resulted in a considerable in- 

 crease in daily receipts. Stock is com- 

 ing on too fast. Not only are receipts 

 increased, but quality is impaired. Koses, 

 in the first part of September, were con- 

 siderably better than usual, but the heat 

 has taken the quality out of nearly all 

 varieties. There continues to be a fair 

 demand for Beauties, with receipts about 



equal to the daily requirements. White 

 roses now are in larger supply and about 

 equal to the demand, which is largely 

 for stock for funeral work, with which 

 the local retailers have been especially 

 favored in the last few days. Kaiserin 

 still holds up well, for it is the best hot- 

 weather rose. Other varieties are all in 

 good supply. Stems are getting longer 

 daily. 



Carnations again cut a considerable 

 figure on the market. The receipts are 

 steadily increasing, and the increase has 

 been rapid since the warm days came on. 

 They have not helped the quality. Stems 

 are gradually lengthening, and as soon 

 as we get a little seasonable weather to 

 put crisp ness into the blooms we shall 

 have carnations equal to the require- 

 ments of the most exacting. If the heat 

 continues we shall soon have supplies 

 which will trouble the wholesalers to find 

 a market, although now all good carna- 

 tions are selling well, and those with the 



4-inch stems are bringing as much as 

 could be expected. 



In spite of the fact that some growers 

 say they are near the end of their aster 

 crops, still the market is overloaded, es- 

 pecially with the poor stock. There is 

 an abundance of large, long-stemmed 

 asters to meet all requirements. The re- 

 tailers have been able to make a good 

 profit on the heavy run of funeral work 

 of the last few days by using white 

 asters. 



There are a few violets received in 

 each of four or five commission houses. 

 The quality runs from pretty poor to 

 fairly good. Last week as high as 75 

 cepts per hundred was received, but this 

 week 50 cents is the top price, and 

 some violets go to waste. There really 

 is no use in sending them to such a 

 market as we have this week. Chrysan- 

 themums in yellow, pink and white are 

 to be had on advance orders. 



Gladioli continue to be a burden. A 

 little good stock sells, but the common
