The Market. 



Flowers are accumulating and clear- 

 ances are not easily made. There is 

 really no scarcity in any line. We have, 

 had some exceedingly warm weather 

 and this has caused the deterioration in 

 quality, while demand has been far 

 from brisk. Eoses are in heavy over- 

 supply and large quantities are handled 

 by the street fakers. Some excellent 

 long-stemmed Beauties and Russells are 

 seen, and the demand has been fair for 

 Tafts and the yellow varieties. The 

 hot weather has hit the carnations 

 badly and quality is on the down grade. 

 Top-notch flowers may realize $3, but 

 many go down at one-third this price 

 or even less. 



The supply of narcissi of the yellow 

 trumpet section is about over, but there 

 are plenty of ornatus and medium 

 trumpet flowers. Tulips are still plenti- 

 ful, but there is little call for them. 

 Spanish iris is good, and quite a few 

 gladioli, such as Peach Blossom and 

 Blushing Bride, are coming in. Valley 

 is in oversupply, and so are lilies, callas 

 and stocks. 



Marguerites, which generally sell 

 well, are hard to move, and only the 

 best selected snapdragons sell well.

The warm weather has increased the 

 output of gardenias and cattleyas, but 

 the demand for these is indifferent. 

 Sweet peas are good, but even of these 

 there are too many poor, short-stemmed 

 flowers, which go slowly. Asparagus is 

 plentiful and smilax scarce, while adi- 

 antum is in good supply. 



Various Notes. 



A call on Peter Fisher last week 

 showed his new carnation, Gorgeous, to 

 be doing splendidly. Flowers on 4-foot 

 stems were numerous and the color was 

 fine. Mr. Fisher recently sent 5,000 

 plants to Stuart Low & Co., in Eng-
