The Market. 



Another week of commencements and 

 fine weather has kept the market well 

 cleaned up. Northern florists who ex- 

 pect May 30 to be the best day of 

 the season may be surprised to learn 

 that we sell no more flowers for this 

 (?-\y than for any other, as Memorial 

 day is not observed here. There has 

 been no dull business, however, on this 

 account. 



Carnations are in large supply and 

 the quality is all that could be ex- 

 pected at this season. They are fetch- 

 ing $3 to $4 per tundred in a whole- 

 sale way, some of the best going as 

 high as $5. Peonies are a thing of the 

 past. They have been good property 

 all the season. Koses are in good sup- 

 ply, with a good demand. Beauties, 

 however, are scarce and of indifferent 

 quality. We were especially pleased 

 with some Chatenay we saw this week. 

 This rose is certaiialy a beauty and is 

 a good seller. , 



Variotui Notes. 



Mclntyre Bros, continue to have some 

 good dahlias from the open ground; not 

 in large quantities, but plenty for re- 

 tail use, and they are moving fully as 

 well as if they were in season. 



Gladioli are appearing and there will 

 soon be plenty of field-grown stock. 

 The Joy Floral Co., especially, is cut- 

 ting good flowers. 



The summer bedding season is about 

 over, with little surplus stock. Mr. 

 Corbett still has some good geraniums 

 in 5-inch pots. 



Hillcrest School Farm has the most 

 complete line of perennials this season 

 that has ever been grown in this city. 

 There is an increasing demand for these 

 on this market. The school is beginning 

 the growing of Dutch bulbs in a small 

 way as an experiment. Last week sev- 

 eral thousand bulbs of a dozen varieties 

 of narcissus without a sign of disease 

 were harvested. 



Geny Bros, have their new house 

 about ready for planting. They are 

 cutting some of the best dark red late 

 peonies we have ever seen. F. B.
