The Weekly Florists' Review. 



NOVEMBER 



BOSTON. 



Review of the Market. 



Another chrysanthemum week, with 

 all kinds of flowers very much in evi- 

 dence and with demand very light, 

 but even with the dull feeling." a large 

 quantity of bloom changes hands 

 daily, although quite a share are sold 

 on private terms. As is usual at this 

 time of the year, roses seem to get 

 hit the worst, and in many cases the 

 first offer takes ihe lot. Brides and 

 Maids range from $2 to $6, with a few 

 Kaiserins offered at $S per hundred. 

 Carnots sell at about the same as last 

 quotations, while Beauties range any- 

 where from .50 cents to ?3 per dozen. 



Carnations are plenty enough to 

 supply the demand, with prices on thp 

 poorer grades slightly lower. Com- 

 mon varieties are held from 7.5 cents 

 to .$2 per hundi-ed: fancies still bring 

 $3 and $4. 



Chrysanthemums are selling fairly 

 well. White varieties are in the ma- 

 jority, prices asked being from 75 

 cents to $1 per dozen, with some sales 

 made at much lower figures. Colored 

 are not so plenty, and bring higher 

 prices, $1.50 per dozen being about 

 the limit. 



Valley is still held at $4 for average 

 quality, with some very choice bring- 

 ing $6 per hundred. Tuberoses not 

 so plenty; 50 cents per dozen stalks is 

 the price. Candy tuft and cosmos 

 comprise the odds and ends, put up in 

 25-cent bunches. Violets remain about 

 the same. 



News Items. 



Allen Pierce is once more on deck, 



and is selling mums and carnations! 



with a military preciseness that is 



quite startling. 



The last day of October, and not 

 enough frost yet to kill heliotrope! 

 Something unprecedented for this sec- 

 tion. 



It is rumored that Thomas F. Galvin 

 has purchased the entire stock of 

 Peter Fisher's famous carnation, Mrs. 

 Thomas. W. Lawson. p 



HUNT'S RE VIEW OF THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



The past few bright days have affected stock 

 to a wonderful degree, almost overcoming the 

 effects of the dark, rainy davs of the Jubilee 

 week and just after. There is stiH a short- 

 age in extra select roses, especially Brides, 

 while the medium grade is in fair supply 



The chrysanthemum is, if anything, more 

 Identiful, though some very choice blooms are 

 bemg received, such as Viviand-Morel, Mrs. 

 Robinson, Yellow Queen, Glory of the Pacific 

 and Kalb. Violets are stiU in lively demand 

 and reach good figures. Valley is short and 

 the price ranges from «4.00 to 17.00. 



The week shows vast improvement helped 

 out to a large extent by the New Orleans 

 trade, which took a vast amount of stock 

 from this market,
