Intense heat, with no relief until Sat-

ever, any increase in quotations. Sun- 

 day the long drought was broken and 

 the thermometer fell to 75 degrees. 

 The vitality had, however, been pretty 

 thoroughly extracted from everybody 

 and everything, before relief arrived. 

 Many thousands of roses were des- 

 troyed daily. Sweet peas were of no 

 account and one wholesale house de- 

 clared it had an accumulation of 80,- 

 000 carnations in the cellar and ice- 

 box. However, the occasional wed- 

 dings and the numerous funerals 

 created a fair demand for good stock 

 and the early morning sales now ab- 

 sorb the best of the lessening ship- 

 ments of roses and carnations. Lilies 

 arrived in thousands last week and $2 

 per hundred was top; one dealer offered 

 ten thousand of his accumulations for 

 $100. Orchids continue to arrive in 



good variety, but there has been no 

 advance in prices. There is no change 

 in the price of valley. Plenty of gla- 

 dioli for all are coming in and asters 

 are increasing in volume every day. 



There is no business in the whole- 

 sale section after noon. All the stores 

 close at 4 p. m. and could close at 

 1 o'clock with equal profit. Princi- 

 pals and employees are enjoying their 

 vacations in rotation. No one is for- 

 gotten of the faithful host of workers 

 and everyone has set the first part of 

 September as the time for the turn of 

 the tide.
