Trade Notes. 



We are having a good soaking rain. 

 It started Sunday morning with a misty 

 drizzle, slowly increasing until by Mon- 

 day afternoon it was coming down pret- 

 ty hard. This rain is what the florists, 

 to say nothing of the army of farmers 

 and truck gardeners, have been praying 

 for for several months, and in conse- 

 quence there is general rejoicing in the 

 country. 



At present roses are coming in in 

 somen'hat better supply and the qual- 

 ity is greatl\' improved. The color on 

 Maids is hardly up to standard in some 

 cases, but as there is a steadj- demand 

 for good stock, prices hold up well and 

 all of the good stock is readily cleaned 

 up. Brides and Maids are held at 2 to 

 6 cents; Meteors, 2 to 6 cents; Liberties, 

 5 to 8 cents; Golden Gates, 3 to 6 cents, 

 and American Beauties, as usual, are 

 scarce, and all grades arc picked up as 

 soon as they arrive in the commission 

 houses. Frimi 50 to ^5 cents per dozen 

 for shorts to .$.) per dozen for long stem 

 blooms is the ruling figure. 



The supply of carnations is still in- 

 creasing slightly, but there is a steady 

 demand for them and they bring very 

 good returns. Ordinary varieties, such 

 as Scott, Portia, McGowan, Daybreak, 

 etc., bring $1..50 to $2 per 100. Fancy 

 varieties, Dorothy, Estelle, America, 

 Crane, White (Uoud, Lawson, Enquirer, 

 Bradt, etc., readily realize 3 to 4 cents. 

 Carnations have been very backward this 

 season, so now that chrysanthemnnis arc 

 nearly out of the way we arc very glad 

 to see them coming in in larger quanti- 

 ties. Prospects are that there will be 

 an exceeding!}^ large cut after the first 

 of the year. 



Chrysanthemums are about over, and 

 we were really sorry to see them go, as 

 the late varieties made up for all the 

 earlier varieties lacked. In otlicr words, 

 the late sorts proved themselves to be 

 the best all round, proving highly sat- 

 isfactory to all parties concerned, which 

 could not be said of the earlier varieties. 

 Mr. George Bayer, of Toledo, Ohio, is 

 still sending in some first-class Bonuaf- 

 fon and Wanamaker and they sell fast 

 at 15 cents each. 



Violets arc now to be seen in much 

 larger quantities and the quality is 

 greatly improved. They are raostl.v 

 double and bring 75 cents to $1 per 100, 

 with good chance for a rise very soon. 

 Romans, narcissus and valley are to 

 be obtained in fair quantities and of 

 good quality. Smilax is still somewhat 

 scarce. 



Mr. Ed. Murphy suffered the loss of a 

 house of J. Jones mums by freezing. 

 Defective heating apparatus was the 

 cause. 



B. P. Critchell is also among the 

 number of those who lost chrysanthe- 

 mums by frost. It looks as if the boys 

 were caught napping this season, judg- 

 ing by the number who lost heavily by 

 having houses of late mvims frozen. 



At the HofTnieister Floral Co.'s store 

 I noticed some plants of begonia Gloire 

 de Lorraine, which were very nicely 

 grown. They say tliat there is a fine 

 demand for this plant with them. 



Visitors were Mr. E. M. Hyatt, with 

 Stuart & Haugh, Ander.son, Ind., and 

 E. J. Fancourt. who is traveling for Kift 

 & Son, Philadelphia.
