The Market. 



Last week was one of warm summer 

 weather and regular summer business. 

 But it was good summer business, at that. 

 There was a gpod demand, and the sup- 

 ply was just about equal to it, with the 

 exception of a few varieties of flowers. 

 Sweet peas were in heavy supply, and the 

 demand was not large enough to move 

 even a good proportion of them. The 

 price was away down in consequence, and 

 scarcely enough was realized on them to 

 pay for the trouble of picking. With the 

 possible exception of such outdoor flowers 

 as feverfew, candytuft, etc., there were 

 no other oversupplies, but things were 

 nicely balanced. Lily of the valley had 

 quite a run, and several good orders had 

 to be turned down. Longiflorum lilies 

 were also gooij property and sold out 

 well. Candidum lilies were in good sup- 

 ply and sold out well. 



A few cold storage peonies are still 

 ooniiug in, but they are not keeping well 

 this year. They bloomed in too hot a 

 spell of weather this year, and they drop 



about as soon as you take them out of 

 storage. Carnations are on their last 

 legs, and what stock does come in is poor. 

 A few more days and they will be a 

 thing of the past till next fall, and when 

 their quality is as poor as it is at pres- 

 ent, we are glad to see the last of them. 

 Roses, too, are sick looking, and those 

 that are free of mildew are so small and 

 pop open so quickly that they are not 

 worth much. Beauties are still good, but 

 even when cut verj' tight they hardly 

 keep over night. 



We are well stocked with green goods 

 now. Smilax, Sprengeri and asparagus 

 are in good supply. New ferns are com- 

 ing from all directions. The Michigan 

 and eastern ones are in and are of good 

 quality. 



Various Notes. 



A meeting of the directors of the Flo- 

 rists' Society was held June 22. Owing 

 to lack of interest among the members, 

 the society did not do anything last win- 

 ter. It had become just about impossible 

 to get the members to come to the meet- 

 ings, but now, with the approaching of 

 I the S. A. F., ft was decided to try to stir 



things up and see if some interest could 

 not be instilled into it again. Also, it has 

 been the intention all along to extend to 

 the S. A. F. an invitation to meet in this 

 city on that society's twenty-fifth anni- 

 versary, which will be next summer. In 

 order to carry out these plans, and make 

 it possible for the florists of this city 

 to entertain the S. A. F. in a manner be- 

 fitting the dignity of the society, it was 

 decided to collaborate with the Cincin- 

 nati League, an organization of business 

 men of this city who make it their busi- 

 ness to bring conventions to this city. 

 From present indications it would appear 

 that everything will move forward 

 smoothly, and that Cincinnati will be in 

 the field at Niagara Falls in August with 

 a pressing invitation for the S. A. F. to 

 meet in this city in 1909. The florists 

 here appreciate the fact that the central 

 location of Cincinnati will tend to make 

 the meeting held here the greatest ever 

 held by the society, and they want to 

 take steps to insure every visitor having 

 the time of his life and returning home 

 with words of praise for Cincinnati and 

 the Cincinnati florists. 



On June 16 L. F. Benson sold the stock
