Many requests are made that the

There were some large orders, for this 

 season, at the Bellevue-Stratford shop 

 of J. J. Habermehl'a Sons last week. 

 Cattleyaa were freely used, and when 

 C. gigas ran short, C. Harrisoniae was 

 taken. Valley was used in quantity.

The Market. 



Extreme dullness is reported in all 

 lines. The weather has been warm, 

 with cool nights. The local wholesale 

 markets still are loaded with stock of 

 everything in season. A great deal of 

 stock was dumped last week, especially 

 roses and common asters. There was 

 a fair call for cut stock some days, 

 but only in light colors. Outdoor 

 flowers continue to dominate the mar- 

 ket, with gladioli, asters and single 

 tuberoses as leaders. The gladioli and 

 tuberoses are good, but the bulk of the 

 asters are of only ordinary quality. 

 In roses there is an abundance of all 

 varieties, the supply exceeding the de- 

 mand. Beauties and Russells seem to 

 be the best sellers, with the latter, 

 when good, crowding the Beauties in 

 demand. Killarneys and Wards con- 

 stitute the bulk of the rose stock com- 

 ing in. There also is plenty of Eich- 

 mond. Carnations are not so numerous

now and the demand for the best of 

 them is good. Easter lilies seem to be 

 in oversupply. The market quotations 

 on these are low. Sweet peas, valley 

 and orchids are scarce. 



Everything in greens is in good sup- 

 ply, with the demand equal. 



Various Notes. 



The few who attended the S. A. F. 

 convention last week are back again, 

 and report a great meeting and a most 

 enjoyable week at the hands of the 

 Boston florists. Our old friend, Dan 

 MacRorie, who was elected vice-presi- 

 dent of the society, will give us a great 

 time in San Francisco next August. 



A good rain fell August 19, which 

 gladdened the hearts of our growers. 

 Though the downpour did not last long 

 enough, it did a world of good to all 

 outdoor stock. 



Zorn & Gaertner, of Saginaw, Mich., 

 are consigning their stock to the W. C. 

 Smith Wholesale Floral Co. A lot of 

 extra good asters, as well as some good 

 gladioli, have come in. These meet 

 with a good call at top prices. 



D. Ferry Lomason, representing D. 

 M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich., was in 

 the city recently checking up the sea- 

 son's business, which he found to be 

 about thirty per cent better than last 

 year.

John T. Milliken, of Crescent, Mo., 

 now has 75,000 feet of glass planted in 

 roses, carnations and lilies, from which 

 he expects a great cut this fall and 

 winter. William Mehl is superinten- 

 dent, Carl Sampson is foreman and 

 George Schmidt is rose grower. The 

 Smith Co. will handle the output this 

 season. 



A, Y. Ellison is no longer in the 

 employ of F. J, Foster. Mr. Ellison 

 has nothing to report as to his future 

 plans. 



M. Le Vine, representing Lion & Co., 

 New York, called on the trade last 

 week with a nice set of samples of the 

 latest ribbons. 



Conrad Bergstermann is renovating 

 his store. A new metal ceiling is be- 

 ing put in, and a coat of white paint 

 and other interior decorations will 

 make his store one of the attractions 

 on Grand avenue.
