The Market. 



All the talk at present here is of 

 war. Some are talking of the European 

 war, and others of war on the drought 

 of the last two seasons. There are more 

 private irrigating plants being put in 

 this season than ever before in the 

 city and vicinity, I am sure. Florists 

 who have been short of water are look- 

 ing to their supply, while market gar- 

 deners are putting in private pumping 

 plants and the Skinner irrigating system 

 where they can. Those who have al- 

 ready done so are reaping a rich harvest 

 this season. We are led to wonder if 

 it would not have paid some of the 

 growers to grow tomatoes and beans this 

 season instead of roses and carnations. 

 String beans were selling at $10.50 per 

 barrel wholesale on the market square 

 a few days ago. This is not really trade 

 news, but it tells better than anything 

 else the condition of outdoor crops. 

 With the exception of gladioli, there 

 are no outdoor flowers. 



Cut flowers are scarce. Kaiserin and 

 Maryland are about the only thing in 

 roses, and they are not at all good. 

 We doubt if a dozen really high-class" 

 roses could be found in the city today. 

 Lilies are in good supply and the qual- 

 ity is good. Gladioli are in good sup- 

 ply, but the quality is poor. It is better 

 than it was a week ago, however. 



Business has been better during the 

 last fortnight than is usual at this sea- 

 son. As the demand has been mostly 

 for funeral work, it has been possible 

 to dispose of the short-stemmed roses 

 to good advantage. We have not seen 

 a carnation that was worthy the name 

 for several weeks. Asters are little bet- 

 ter and they are all shipped in. 



Various Notes. 



Most of the help of the Joy Floral 

 Co. are off on their vacations. Those 

 who were left behind have been on the 

 jump to get out a run of funeral work. 

 This firm is cutting gladioli heavily 

 at present, and the blooms are the best 

 that I have seen this season. 



The new pavement is finished in front 

 or the store of Geny Bros, and they are 

 again able to get their wagons up to 

 the door. For a time they have been 

 compelled to carry everything half a

We are informed that J, K. Postma 

 has taken charge of the Ward Belmont 

 Greenhouses for the coming year. Mr. 

 Postma has received word that his pat- 

 ent has been allowed on his fumigator 

 for burning tobacco in a more econom- 

 ical and effective way in greenhouses. 

 Those who have tested it say that it is 

 a good thing.

 quiet at present, but they are getting 

 the usual amount of summer work.
