considerable stock still is going to 

 waste. 



There is a diminished supply of 

 American Beauties, the shorts being 

 much less plentiful than in the last 

 fortnight. There are plenty of long 

 Beauties and the quality of most of 

 the stock is exceptionally good for this 

 season of the year. Killarn^y and 

 White Killarney are, of course, re- 

 ceived in greater quantity than any 

 other roses, the quality being first- 

 class in every respect, with heavy sup- 

 plies of short stems that are selling 

 cheaply indeed. There are increased 

 receipts of Maryland and this rose is 

 now showing its characteristic excellent 

 early autumn quality; for the next 

 few weeks Maryland is likely to hold 

 a conspicuous place. Mrs. Ward also 

 is in increased supply and the quality 

 steadily is improving. The growers 

 like this rose and so do the buyers. 

 Prince de Bulgarie is in moderate sup- 

 ply. The out-of-town buyers think 

 highly of it. There are moderate sup- 

 plies of Bichmond, but it is not in spe- 

 cial request as yet. 



Asters are not so overabundant as 

 they were, but there still is a great 

 plenty. The later varieties are now 

 coming in and the quality of much of 

 the stock is excellent. Gladioli, like 

 the asters, are getting along in their 

 season, but there are heavier receipts 

 than the demand can consume at legiti- 

 mate prices. The outdoor carnations 

 are cutting little figure, but the new 

 stock from under glass is increasing in 

 quantity and steadily improving in 

 quality. The season is starting oflF 

 well. 



Easter lilies, which have been one of 

 the problems, are not now so over- 

 abundant as they have been and prices 

 have stiffened a little. Bubrum and 

 auratum lilies are passing. There is 

 an abundance of valley. Cattleyas are 

 scarce. All green goods are plentiful. 



Comparing August with the same 

 month last year, the quantity of stock 

 sold in this market shows a consider- 

 able increase, but the money realized 

 does not exceed the sum received for 

 the smaller quantity last year; in fact.

many houses say their sales were less 

 than a year ago. Taking July and Au- 

 gust together, the results are about 

 on a par with last year. July this sea- 

 son was considerably ahead of July 

 last year, but August in last year was 

 exceptionally good and those who 

 equaled it this season have every rea- 

 son to be satisfied with what they have 

 done.
