The Market. 



Business is at a low ebb. The war, 

 the heat and the absence of flower 

 buyers from home restricted the de- 

 mand to mortuary orders and a few 

 others. Asters and gladioli form the 

 bulk of the supply. Asters are made 

 up of some good and many poor. Gla- 

 dioli are good indeed. Poor asters and 

 good gladioli are about equally difficult 

 to sell. Roses are a little less plenti- 

 ful; white is short of requirements. 

 Easter lilies are more abundant. Cat- 

 tleyas are quite scarce. A few d hlias 

 arrive daily.

of its kind, because it was "just among 

 ourselves," while the other two were 

 for the friends of the house. The store 

 was closed for the afternoon and the 1 

 o'clock train from Broad street took 

 out practically the whole force, which, 

 with the addition of the farm force at 

 Andalusia, made up a happy party esti- 

 mated at 150. It was a fine sight to 

 see the girls and young men disembark 

 at Andalusia. Philip Freud led the van-
