ANNUAL SPECIAL SALE OF WIRE WORK 



Write us. Kennicott Bros. Co., wablfsifVe. Chicago 



of Richmond, but no special call for red. 



The aster is taking the place of the 

 carnation and growers of the latter flow- 

 er under glass are making haste to re- 

 plant their houses. There are, however, 

 now some good carnations from the field 

 to compete with the asters. The latter 

 already are showing considerable increase 

 in the length of stem and before the 

 week is out there will be large supplies 

 of fine flowers. The good stock thus 

 far received has sold excellently. The 

 carnations still received from indoors 

 continue better than average summer 

 flowers, and a great many shipping 

 orders are received for them. 



The new crop of Easter lilies is coming 

 on, but has not yet been heavy enough

to aflfect the sale for auratum, which is 

 moving well. Indeed, the sale for all 

 summer flowers is excellent aod the houses 

 which make a specialty of outdoor stock 

 are reporting an especially good week. 

 Sweet peas are not as numerous as 

 they were, and therefore are averaging a 

 little better prices. Gladioli are much 

 more plentiful, but continue to sell well. 

 Peonies are still to be had, but the 

 current week will probablv finish them 

 off. 



A large part of the business of the 

 retailers is funeral work and this is 

 reflected in the market by the calls for 

 white and light flowers and for sphag- 

 num moss, galax and ferns. There has 

 been a lull in the demand for Sprengeri, 



but plumosus bunches sell well. Strings 

 of green are not in special request at 

 this season. 



Last of the Peonies. 



July 20 E. C. Amling had in his cool 

 room the last of the season's peony 

 crop of Kennicott & Sons, and it was 

 reported that Klehm's Nursery was 

 through. Kennicott Bros. Co. still" had 

 in storage some 700 or 800 dozen, mostly 

 Late Bose. 



This has been a peculiar season for 

 peonies, and, for reasons which are in 

 dispute, the stock has not kept in stor- 

 age as well as in other years. However, 

 some varieties have held up excellently, 

 and as the season advanced prices have
