The Market. 



Last week the weather turned quite 

 warm and greatly affected the quality 

 of much of the stock, and it also brought 

 in an increased supply, which has flooded 

 the market again. The demand for 

 stock was about the same as for the 

 week previous. Prices are generally 

 low, but shipping business is good. 



The rose supply was greatly increased 

 last week and seemed to meet a corre- 

 spondingly poor market. Killarney, and 

 other varieties quickly affected by heat, 

 suffered greatly. Aster receipts are 

 heavy and in excess of the market re- 

 quirements. Gladioli also are in heavy 

 supply. Both Lilium giganteum and 

 L. rubrum are plentiful. Other offer- 

 ings include dahlias, cosmos, lily of the 

 valley and orchids. The supply of green 

 goods is adequate for present needs. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell reports an active ship- 

 ping business. 



L. H. Kyrk was in receipt of two ship- 

 ments last week, neither of which bore 

 any mark or trace of the identity of the 

 consignor. 



The Bloomhurst Floral Co. has been 

 sending in some of the finest carnations 

 the market has received. 



P. J. dinger is due to return from 

 . Emerado, N. D., this week.

 exhibit of his gladioli at the Dover 

 public library is attracting much at- 

 tention. 



C. L. Howe has just installed a new 

 60-horse-power boiler, making five in all 

 which are required to heat his large 

 range.

 bury, were particularly attractive, also.
