The Market. 



The backwMril s|iri)ig is making itself 

 felt in the quantity of stoek eoniing 

 into this market, as the supply has de- 

 creased materially. Kspeeially is this true 

 of earnations, which during the early 

 part of the past week were in over-supply 

 anil goo<-l faneies were as low as $2 

 per 10(1, and ordinary stoek at 50 eents 

 to $1. At the ]iresent time the wdiole- 

 sale houses are sold out entirely, and 

 nian.y orders remain untilled. The price 

 is again back to normal, \\h]\ fancy at 

 3 and 4 cents and other grades down to $1 

 per 100 for culls, etc. There are more 

 pink than red and white together, white 

 having, perhaps, the best call. It is e-vi- 

 dent that the ilemand for variegated 

 carnations is dying out, those in the 

 Bradt type especially being hard to 

 move, which shows how public taste will 

 change, as a few years ago variegateil 

 carnations were a general favorite, and 

 sold on sight. 



Roses, too, were greatly in oversupply 

 in the early part of last week, and if it 

 had not been for the fakirs many would 

 have been thrown on the dump. As it 

 was, very few were lost outright, but 

 .iob-lot prices prevailed on all carried- 

 over stock, and .50 cents to .$1 per 100 

 hel]ped matters much. Even at the pres- 

 ent time the supply of roses is more 

 than am])le; but as the demand is much 

 better, the rose growers' prospects are 

 brighter. This week a very good grade 

 of st<ick in Bride, Maids. Meteor, etc., 

 bring 4 to 5 cents, witli seconds and 

 thirds at 2 and 3 cents. 



Hvdbous stock was just about equal to 

 .demand, and was cleaned ont pretty 

 well. There is some good stock in this 

 line coming in from George & Allan's. 

 Their long experience with this line of 

 stock has reduced the growing of it to 

 a science, and the best kind of stoek 

 can always be looked for. 



There is but little smilax to be seen. 

 Violets also ajipear 10 be a thing of the 

 past, but sweet peas are taking their 

 place, selling now at 50 to 75 cents per 

 100. 



'Various Items. 

 Richard Wiltcrstactter's white seedling 

 carnation, 72o.\, will be known hence- 

 forth as Albatross. 



Shipping trade held up remarkably 

 well despite the fact that there was a 

 slump in the market, which goes to show 

 that in some respects small towns are 

 sometimes better than large cities.

 greenhouses, and a retail store attached, 

 on -Walnut Hill, this city, is now in Oil 

 City, Pa.

It is reported that a New York florist 

 makes a practice of attaching "sold" 

 tags to all his finest stock, and says it 

 stimulates sales of these flowers, as peo- 

 ple are always anxious to secure %vhat

 will generally pay well for such in order 

 to get them.
