The Market. 



There was a good supply in the cut 

 flower market all of last week and the 

 demand showed some improvement. 

 Funeral work still monopolizes tha 

 work of the retailers and some of them 

 were busy all of the week. The whole- 

 salers say that the demand for light 

 colored stock was quite large, but the 

 other stock went begging. There is a 

 let-up in the great bulk of gladioli and 

 tuberose stalks, and the few thousand 

 that come in seem to have a pretty 

 good demand. There are large con- 

 signments of roses coming in of extra 

 good quality, especially in Beauties and 

 white and pink Cochets, while Rich- 

 mond, Killarney and Maryland have 

 good color and fairly long stems. Car- 

 nations are looking much better. The 

 cool nights have improved ail the stock 

 wonderfully in foliage, color and stem. 



There was quite a lot of nice cosmos 

 sent in last week, which is expected to 

 be plentiful. Long sprays of Clematis 

 paniculata are being used" extensively 

 in funeral decorations, with good ef- 

 fect. Extra good lily of Ihe valley is 

 in the market at $4 per hundred and 

 it is worth it. Longiflorum lilies are 

 coming in fine and sell well at $10 per 

 hundred blooms. Asfers are still com- 

 ing in heavily and are being unloaded 

 at cheap prices. Smilax, asparagus 

 and ferns are plentiful.

Ferns that are Ferns &'" 



Packed and shipped by myself. Old customers know what 

 that means, when they see whose adv. this is, and new 

 customers will know if they try a case from me. I have not 

 bothered jou with writing this summer, telling you that I had 

 the only Ferns there were in the market, but starting Sept. 

 1st, I am right on the job with an unlimited supply; you 

 should place your order with a man that can and will 8ui)ply you until new crop 

 next spring at a reasonable price. There will be no harm done if you ask me for my 

 price for the balance of the season, and it may do you a lot of good.
