The usual summer dullness is practi- cally over with, and the demand, as well as the supply, is turning back and starting to climb the ladder. The unu- sually cool nights thgt prevailed during the latter part of August, which still are prevalent, were, of course, of great value to the trade, of incalculable bene- fit to both the grower and the retailer. Roses now are coming in fast, and the length of stems, the foliage and the buds are fine. The quality is extra good and the prospects for plenty of first-class roses this season are encour- aging. Ophelia leads in popularity, fol- lowed by Shawyer, Hoosier Beauty and Helen Taft. The demand for American Beauty roses is heavy, while the supply is exceedingly short. The tea roses are only assorted into two grades, namely, select shorts and select medi- ums, selling at $4 and $6 per hundred, in all varieties. Long-distance ship- ments are being resumed and the stock is arriving in excellent condition. Most of the carnation plants have been brought in from the fields and benched, and a few of the shorter- stemmed blooms are appearing in the market. In the spring the plants were brought to the ground with a heavy frost and the growers feared the mar- ket would suffer, but the plants re- vived, and the result is stroug, stocky plants. Gladioli have moved well and the price has been good, but there are few in the market
