old rut. Everybody seems to be away 

 on a vacation and there is nothing do- 

 ing to create a demand for flowers, ex- 

 cept an occasional funeral, or a wed- 

 ding bunch. 



A few Killarney, Bride, Kaiserin and 

 Bridesmaid are arriving from newly 

 planted stock and make up the assort- 

 ment of roses which is obtainable at 

 present. Select stock seems a little 

 scarce; consequently it is not diflBcult 

 to dispose of it. Carnations are not' so 

 plentiful at present, as nearly every- 

 one has cleaned all the old stock out 

 and outside stock is extremely scarce 

 in all varieties of flowers. 



Outside asters have not done as well 

 .this year as they might, and it is sur- 

 prising to note how poorly the majority 

 of the geraniums look, while other 

 bedding plants, such as cannas, ver- 

 benas, petunias and salvias look fine. 



Q. 



PITTSBUEG. 



The Market. 



Asters and gladioli have made their 

 appearance, but are still shy of the de- 

 mand. Of other flowers, Beauties, lilies, 

 valley and a few good roses are about 

 all that are coming in. 



The dry season has told on carnation 

 plants, and it is doubtful if there will 

 be enough to go around in this section. 

 Various Notes. 



We are having most delightful 

 weather for the stay-at-homes. There 

 are few flowers and only a little busi- 

 ness, so no one worries and the ones 

 who can't get away are taking things 

 easy.

MEBIDEN, CONN, 



The Market. 



Everything seems to be quiet here 

 just now. Last week there were several 

 prominent funerals, which gave the re- 

 tailers about all they could handle. 

 Home-grown stock is scarce. Carnations 

 are about through for this season. 

 Brides and Maids are to be had, but 

 there is not much choice in these. Asters 

 are coming in, but only a few at a 

 time. Gladioli are readily disposed of. 

 Owing to the unfavorable weather con- 

 ditions, the supply of outdoor stock is 

 not up to that of former seasons. What 

 carnations the florist has retail at 35 

 cents per dozen; gladioli, $1 per dozen;

 these are usually sold in bunches. The 

 weather continues warm and rain is 

 certainly needed to help the stock in 

 the fields.
