The weather of the past week was cooler, and if any distinction can be made, business was a little better than during the previous weeks, which how- ever, is not saying much. Orchids were scarce and the best stock was quoted at from 75 cents to $1 each, wholesale rates. The supply of Ameri- can Beauty roses fell off toward the last of the week and specials were priced from $20 to $25 per 100, or at that rate. Good tea roses have been scarce, but what little good stock was in the market brought a price. We got our share of the great storm of August 3-4, which worked havoc in other parts of the country. Crops in outlying dis- tricts were beaten down and roads dam- aged. The aster supply was somewhat reduced, which has not created incon- venience, as there are yet four times as many asters on the market as there is any use for. Lilies continue plenti- ful and cheap. Good lily of the valley has been doing a little better, but in- ferior stock is hard to move. August 9.—The market is very quiet. In roses there is a light supply and most of that is poor stock, arriving too open. American Beauties continue scarce and specials sell at the rate of $25 per 100. There is a great surplus of gladioli and asters. Orchids con- tinue scarce. There is the usual sup- ply of lilies and lily of the valley. NOTES. Traendly & Schenck, we are pleased to note, during this period of dearth of good roses, are receiving some fine Taft, Shawyer, Mock and other varie: ties. Papa Traendly is still rusticat
