The Market. 



The market is starting off this week 

 in a manner that is all that could be 

 desired. On Saturday nearly everything 

 was cleared up, but prices were pretty 

 low. Tliere was an unusual supply of 

 roses, especially pink, and they were 

 inferior in quality. Mildew has hit a 

 few of the boys and, though they are 

 trying hard, it is not easy to be got 

 rid of this kind of weather. 



As usual Beauties and Meteors of good 

 grade sold well with scarcely enough to 

 go around. They are selling at same 

 prices as last reported. Some very good 

 liberties are coming in, but the majority 

 are short stemmed. As yet this variety 

 does not sell up with Meteor in this 

 market. They seem to be soft, wilt 

 easily and are not very good keepers. 

 A cool snap may change all this, 

 though. 



The demand for violets is picking up 

 rapidly and prices are consequently on 

 the rise. Some very good Lady Hume 

 Campbell are coming in and sell for 

 35 to 50 cents per 100. Some Princess 

 of Wales have also made their appear- 

 ance and are very good, 50 to 75 cents 

 per 100 is the price. 



The mum is now able to say, "Go way 

 back and sit down," to most other 

 varieties of flowers. They are with us 

 in full force and other flowers are obliged 

 for the time being, to take a back seat. 

 The demand is all that could be desired, 

 but the price is hardly up to other 

 years, especially for the smaller sized 

 varieties; $1.50 to $2 per dozen seems 

 to be about all the retailer is willing to 



pay- 



A few Robinson are making their debut 

 but they are scarcely fit to be cut as 

 yet. Right here I would like to caution 

 the grower about cutting his mums be- 

 fore they are done. Of course there is 

 such a thing as letting them hang too 

 long. But it is so discouraging to receive 

 a consignment of half-open chrysanthe- 

 mums, which if left on the plants a 

 few days longer would have sold for 

 almost double the money. 



Variotis Items. 



Mrs. Underwood, of Ludlow, Ky., has 

 gone to Little Rock, Ark., where she

 will continue the business at Ludlow. 



Mr. Phillip Vilmorin, of France, was

The schedule for the chrysanthemimi 

 show to be given on November 9 by the

 show is the first of the monthly exhibits

 pected. C. J. Ohmer.
