The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



The Market- 



The supply is still short of demand, 

 :iiid this is especially so in carnations. 

 Of carnations any good stock of shipping 

 grade brings $1.50, and there is not 

 much variation from this jigure. A few- 

 fancy Hills have brought $2.00, and 

 some lower grade colored stock has sold 

 at as low as $1.00, but the average runs 

 very close to the $1.50 mark. Roses are 

 still $4.00 to $5.00 for shipping grade. 

 There is more variation in quality in 

 roses, though, and much stock is sold 

 at $2.00 and $.3.00, and some even at 

 $1.00, while a very few fancy Kaiserins 

 have brought $6.00. 



Asters have improved somewhat in 

 quality and some fine stock has brought 

 as high as $2.00, though the average is 

 nearer $1.00. Gladiolus are still in the 

 market, but only the light colors sell; 

 the others won't go at all. There is an 

 increased call for adiautum and aspar- 

 agus in bunches, which were in such 

 poor demand but ten days ago. Smilax is 

 a little more plentiful but inquiry is 

 equal to the supply. 



So far this week the weather has been 

 quite warm, having made a sudden 

 change from the cold and rains of last 

 week. If these conditions continue it is 

 likely that the supply will soon be 

 ample to meet all demands. But today 

 (Wednesday), the wind is again in the 

 north and another cold wave with possi- 

 ble frost is likely. 



Club Meeting. 



The fir.st regular meeting of the Flor- 

 ists' Club for the present season was 

 held last Friday evening at 40 Randolph 

 street. A good deal of routine business 

 was transacted, and it was decided to in- 

 vite Mr. Walter Heffron to read a paper 

 at the next meeting, Oct. 4, on "Hand- 

 ling Cut Flowers as Received from the 

 Grower." At that meeting a program 

 for the winter season will be planned 

 and a full attendance is especially de- 

 sired. 



Various Items.
