The Market. 



Last week saw the market well 

 cleaned up practically every day. 

 Nearly all kinds of flowers are rather 

 scarce and the bulk of poor quality. 

 Roses have shortened up materially and 

 move a little better at improved prices. 

 Outside of Kaiserin and Carnot, few 

 flowers are seen of even ordinary qual- 

 ity. Carnations are fewer in numbers 

 and poorer than at any time this sea- 

 son. The bulk of growers have stopped 

 sending in and are busy replanting 

 their stock. Asters are rather more 

 plentiful and sell as well as anything. 

 The kind most in evidence is Queen of 

 the Market. Sweet peas improved last 

 week with the cooler weather, but the 

 hot wave, which started July 23, is 

 again spoiling them, the pink and scar- 

 let shades coming badly faded out.

Quite a few speciosum lilies are ar- 

 riving. These sell at $2 to $3 per hun- 

 dred. Gladioli from outdoors are now 

 quite abundant. America still remains 

 the most popular sort. There are good 

 supplies of gypsophila, cornflowers, 

 sweet sultans, annual chrysanthemums, 

 cosmos and other outdoor flowers. 

 Orchids are scarce, but in little de- 

 mand. Lily of the valley is seen now 

 only in small lots. Gardenias still ar- 

 rive, but tew are called for.

Various Notes. 



James Wheeler has the interior of 

 his big new carnation house plowed up 

 and ready for planting, which will be 

 done at once. All the plants will be 

 set in the ground, at least for the first 

 season. The house will present a fine 

 appearance when in crop. 



George M. Anderson, of Milton, has 

 the sincere sympathy of a wide circle 

 of friends in the loss of his estimable 

 wife, whose death occurred July 16, 

 after a lingering illness. Mrs. Ander- 

 son was known and esteemed by many 

 in the trade. The interment took place 

 July 19, when there were many beauti- 

 ful floral tributes. 



William Sim is a busy man these 

 days. He has a large part of his big 

 block of sweet corn marketed, which 

 was started in pots. He also has a 

 heavy daily pick of tomatoes, which 

 are still bringing 12% cents to 18 

 cents per pound at wholesale.
