The past week opened with cool weather, but heat and humidity in- creased as the days passed. Saturday, July 17, was probably the most uncom- fortable day yet experienced since the beginning of summer. As a matter of course, business has been dull. Under any conditions this is the dull season and heat and humidity make it more disagreeable. Another feature is that such weather brings in a great stock of outdoor flowers. By July 17 there was a great increase in the supply of Gladiolus America. Asters are also ar- riving in considerable quantities and some very fair stock has been seen. From now on the asters will in a measure, take the place of the carna- tions, which are being thrown out to make room for the plants from the fields. The supply of American Beauty roses is not as heavy as it was a few weeks ago, but as the demand is light the supply is sufficient. The Cattleya gigas are in smaller supply and whole- sale at the rate of $40 per 100, infe- rior varieties being quoted as low as $10 and $15. In the various roses, other than American Beauty, there is some very good stock. The new rose, Hoosier Beauty, is one that looks prom- ising and seems to be doing well.
