The Market. 



Business, at last, is beginnim? to pick 

 up. and everyone is happy, as the past 

 week :?howed a very healthy increase in 

 business in all lines. While shipping 

 trade is as yet very small, outside buv- 

 er-i are beginning to be heard from, but. 

 as a rule, they want only the best grade 

 of stock, and there is not a rery large 

 supply of that coming in. With the 

 steadily increasing supply of good stock 

 shipping trade will also increase. 



The city florists all report good busi- 

 ness, and many of them had as much 

 as they could do. Some large fall open- 

 ings used up an enormous amount of 

 second-grade stock, and c-arrnations, es- 

 pecially, were sold out slick and clean. 

 The rarious orders were well divided 

 among many of the craft, so all had a 

 share in the profits. 



The rose supply is improving gradu- 

 ally. The cool weather is making it- 

 self felt, and with continued favorable 

 weather it will not be very long before 

 blooms of the first-class c-an be obtained 

 at all times. The majority of the stock 

 coming in is still somewhat short- 

 stemmed, but the blooms are very fair, 

 nevertheless. Brides are still very 

 scarc-e: a few Kaiserins help matters a 

 little, ilaids are in better supply. Some 

 very good Meteors are to be had. Lib- 

 erty is still soft and single, opens up 

 fast and is slow sale; color is fine, but 

 this rose evidently needs cooler weather 

 to grow good. Some very good Golden 

 Gates are in, and they help out the 

 shortage in Brides. Beauty is the rose 

 of the day. Everybody wants it, and 

 consequently many more could be sold 

 were they obtainable. Some very good 

 ones are coming in, but not nearly 

 enough to fill all orders. 



Brides, Bridesmaids, Meteors, Golden 

 Gates, La France and Liberty, for best 

 stock. 3 to 4 cents; others. 1 to 2 cents. 

 Fairly good stock at §15 per 1,000; 

 Beauty, best stock, $2 to $3 per doz; 

 medium grade, $1 to $2: short, 50 to 75 

 cents. 



Good carnations, the first crop from 

 indoors, are coming in now. and thus 

 the condition of the carnation market 

 is greatly improved. The red ones are 

 still backward and of poor quality. It 

 wiU be some time before they are up to 

 standard. Mrs. E. T. Grave is now send- 

 ing in her prize-winning seedling, Pres.
