uryontly needed and crops of all kinds 

 are burning up. Growers of carnations 

 are in many cases watering them to 

 keep them alive and some crops are 

 almost a dead failure. 



The flower market is dull these days; 

 still plenty of stock and trade slim. 

 Good roses are getting scarce, but of 

 short sterns there is a heavy surplus. 

 Shijipers of carnations are getting <lis- 

 couraging returns and many, in disgust, 

 are pulling out their plants preparatory 

 to replanting. Sweet peas are seen 

 everywhere, of e\ery conceivable color 

 and quality. They bring anywhere from 

 $1 to $5 j)er thousand, with a heavy 

 surplus. C'allas, lilies, cattleyas and 

 candytuft arc all hard to move. Corn- 

 flowers and sweet sultans sell fairly 

 well, and there is a moderate call for 

 gypsophila, valley and Gladiolus Amer- 

 ica. A light crop of early asters are 

 arriving, and various other outdoor 

 flowers, for which there is little call.

Boston will this week welcome a 

 large didegation of sweet pea enthu-

 will })e due to his hard, plodding work 

 and visitors will be surprised to see 

 how much enthusiasm has been created 

 for this finest of all annuals for llo- 

 rists. In sjdte of the abnormal dryness 

 of the last few weeks and intense heat, 

 the display of sweet peas, judging from 

 entries recei\ed, is going to be an im- 

 mense one. The Gardeners' and Flo-
