Trade Conditions. 



We are having fine, hearty autumnal 

 weather now in this latitude, the nights 

 cool but yet without frost and the air 

 and sun warm and balmy through the 

 day. Fcr the week ending with this 

 date (September 23) trade has l>een 

 fairly good. The cool nights and some 

 dull days have made the supply of 

 llowers somewhat short. Asters are 

 over, outdoor roses have fallen ofT in 

 quantity, cosmos and dahlias are com- 

 ing in, liie latter not abundantly. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are, for this market, more 

 plentiful than usual; indoor roses. 

 Brides and Maids espeeially, arc small 

 in size. Very few carnations, either 

 from inside or out, are coming in. Greens 

 are overplentiful — asparagus and smi- 

 lax. Asparagus deeumbens can hardly 

 be said to be in the trade here .is yet. 

 A great quantity of violets luis been 

 planted this season, but so far none 

 are in the market. 



Carnation planting is about complet- 

 ed, and some belated planters find it 

 Jithcult to get small quantities to finish 

 out when needed; whites are not to be 



had. There is not much change in the 

 sorts in favor for a year or t«o past. 

 Scott and White Cloud have been 

 dropped by some, hut there are others 



The Gardeners' Club held a dahlia 

 show today (September 24) which was 

 largely attended, the crowd in the 

 evening being so dense that it was prac- 

 tically impossible to inspect the ex- 

 hibits, which included, besides dahlias, 

 foliage plants, cannas, designs, etc. 

 The debated influence of the separation 

 of the hours for the "patronesses." whci 

 incTiTded, as the daily papers say, 

 "many fashionable women of the city 

 and county," who had paid an associ- 

 ate membership fee to the club and 

 those who later came in free, was not 

 apparent at all. The club will hold a 

 chrysanthennini show in Xovembei-.
