The Florists' Review 



August 8, 1912. 



BOCHESTEE. 



The Market. 



Cool weather continues at this writ- 

 ing. Ordinarily, cool weather would 

 tend to make business brisk, but trade 

 now seems stagnant with the lethargy 

 of summer. To use the hackneyed 

 phrase, there is nothing doing at all 

 outside of funerals and flowers for the 

 sick, and now and then a social func- 

 tion at the hotels or the country club. 

 There are still a few belated calls for 

 bedding plants. 



Asters were coming into the market 

 in better condition last week and the 

 supply is increasing. The price is fair. 

 Gladioli are much improved and there 

 are some fine America to be had. There 

 is not a great demand for gladioli just 

 yet. Later in the season they are 

 much more sought after. Lilium aura- 

 tum is just beginning to come into 

 prominence, and the early flowers are 

 large and good. Harrisii lilies are ex- 

 cellent at present. Boses are about the 

 same as at last writing; even the best 

 are not choice and it is hard to get 

 perfect flowers and long, firm stems. 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward is, without exception, 

 the most satisfactory rose just now. 

 Carnations are quite poor. However, 

 it is surprising that they are holding 

 up so long this year. They are bring- 

 ing good prices for poor flowers. Gar- 

 den flowers are in demand still, but 

 the dry, hot weather of the first two 

 weeks in July has made them scarce. 

 Boston ferns are selling well for so 

 early in the summer. There are few 

 good hydrangeas to be had this sum- 

 mer. In a week or two there will be 

 some good pink ones for sale. Sweet 

 peas are poor and go for a song. Galax 

 leaves and ferns are in excellent con- 

 dition, but smilax is scarce. Lily of 

 the valley is hard to get.
