The Market. 



Business continues dull. On- some 

 days not over half a dozen buyers are 

 seen at the wholesale markets. Many 

 growers ship direct to the stores and, 

 with the light demand which exists 

 during the last half of August, there 

 is a large oversupply of flowers. Asters 

 continue to be the leading flowers. 

 While a good many long-stemmed flow- 

 ers are seen, the major portion are of 

 indifferent quality. While some extras 

 may make $1.50 per hundred, others 

 sell as low as 20 cents and 25 cents. 

 Gladioli of fine quality and even 

 America, Mrs. Francis King and Au- 

 gusta are hard to move at Tow prices. 

 Sweet peas are still seen, but the qual- 

 ity as a rule is inferior. 



Carnations are few in numbers as 



yet, but more growers each week are 

 commencing to ship. Stems as yet are 

 short in all cases. Boses are of good 

 quality for the last of August. Beau- 

 ties are fine, while the stems on the 

 better grades of Killarney, Maryland 

 and Carnot are extra good. Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward is again seen of excellent qual- 

 ity and sells well. Lilies are over- 

 abundant; so is lily of the valley. 

 Cattleyas are practically out of the 

 market just now, and so are gardenias. 

 Sales of sweet sultan and blue corn- 

 flowers are fairly good, but there is 

 an oversupply of gypsophila, candy- 

 tuft, snapdragon and other outdoor 

 flowers. Dahlias are being featured 

 at the stores, but these do not appear 

 much in the markets. The call for 

 asparagus and adiantum continues 

 light.
