The Market. 



The market in this city is about the 

 same as usual for this season of the 

 year. There is not much doing outside 

 of funeral work, and it takes a good 

 amount of this to make any impression 

 on the stock that is coming in. We 

 have had, from all accounts, a fairly 

 good August so far — just as good as any 

 previous year; so we have no com- 

 plaints to make. The stock that is com- 

 ing into the market is the usual sum- 

 mer run of roses, asters, carnations, 

 gladioli, lilies, peas, snapdragons, etc. 

 Some fine roses are received, and also 

 some that are extremely poor, but this 

 is always the case, as it is almost im- 

 possible to get them all up to the top 

 grade. Asters are improving and some 

 particularly fine ones are b^ing re- 

 ceived. Some fine white and pink as- 

 ters, grown inside by the local grow- 

 ers, compare favorably with early 

 mums. This stock, of course, is all 

 cleaned up on sight. 



Sweet peas have been oflf crop, owing 

 to the heavy rains, but we expect them 

 to pick up again soon. Gladioli are 

 plentiful. Easter lilies are good and 

 there is just about enough of them to 

 meet the demand. Valley is in good 

 supply and cleaning up fairly well. 

 Greens of all kinds are to be had and 

 there is no shortage. 



The retailers and wholesalers are get- 

 ting ready for a busy season and, from 

 the outlook at present, we are going to 

 have a banner year. The growers in 

 this locality have been quite busy the 

 last two months and report everything 

 in grand shape. Nearly all the grow- 

 ers are figuring for an early start and 

 have their places all planted and in 

 tiptop shape. There will be a lot of 

 fine mums here this year, from the 

 present outlook, and carnations are re- 

 ported to be looking fine. The field- 

 grown carnations are excellent this 

 season and should give good satisfac- 

 tion all around. There is a lot of this 

 stock being shipped out of town with 

 good success.

Geraniums 



iS 



fINCENT and Geraniums, Geraniums and Vincent, are two names 

 that have become so intrinsically linked, together in the minds 

 of a great majority of the florists that to think ot. one is to 

 think of the other, and the reason for this is that they have learned 

 by actual experience that it is to their advantage for them to secure 

 their raw material from a specialist in that line, the same as other 

 manufacturers do, rather than to go to the expense of carrying a lot 

 of surplus stock of their own. It is our business to produce the raw 

 material in the shape of 2-inch stock, so that the finisher can get 

 what he wants when he has the room and is ready for it. 



Last season we had to disappoint a great mary of our custo- 

 mers who failed to get .their order in on time. Although we have 

 doubled our stock this year, we would suggest that you place your 

 order early.
