down. Carnations are holding their own, 

 as there are not so many in the market 

 at present and the demand seems good. 

 Extra choice Rose-pink Enchantress bring 

 $4 per hundred. Violets were coming 

 better every day, but the hot weather 

 will do them no good.. Cosmos and dah- 

 lias and a few tuberose stalks are still to 

 be had. Valley is fine and enough for 

 the demand. 



The market has a good supply in all 

 greens. 



A few good chrysanthemum plants are 

 being shown by the uptown retailers.
