Trade is first-class from every point of view 

 and there is enough extra business in sight to 

 keep the llorista of this city very busy all of 

 this week. Although Monday and Tuesday of 

 last week were a little on the slow order as 

 to business, the following days more than made 

 up for them, and all kinds of flowers, espe- 

 cially those that work up well in large decora- 

 tions, were used. Asters were in by the thou- 

 sands and the majority of them were Al qual- 

 ity. All of them sold at good prices; in fact, 

 the poorer grades brought better prices than 

 at any time so far this season. 



Roses are in very good supply. There were more 

 pink than any other, but American Beauties 

 are coming in in much increased numbers, and 

 there is a ready sale for them, even very short 

 stemmed ones. The extra long-stemmed cues 

 are not yet coming in in large enough numbers 

 to fill all orders. Medium-stemmed ones are 

 just about equal to the demand. Brides are 

 more plentiful, but still by far not enough. 

 Meteors and Liberties are about equal to the 

 demand. 



The supply of carnations is increasing, hut is 

 not nearly up to the demand, and from present 

 prospects it will be some time before it is. Per- 

 haps it is just as weU. as chrysanthemums will 

 be with us very shortly and when they are in 

 other flowers must take a back seat. 



There is a good supply of green goods, and 

 a good sale for it also. You can get just about 

 what you want and in any quantity. Smilax, 

 first-class stock. Asparagus plumosus, strings 

 and bunches, the bunches go very well here: 

 .\sparagus Sprengeri. which is fast making a 

 permanent place for itself; galax leaves, leu- 

 cothoe spx'ays. ferns, etc. There is a good de- 

 mand for southern wild smilax. C. J. 0. 



MoxTEEAL. ■ — The greenhouses of 

 Messrs. Hall & Eohinson, at Outremont, 

 were seriously damaged by fire Sept. 12. 

 The loss is estimated at $2,500, with no 

 insurance. The fire is supposed to have 

 started from sparks from a pile of refuse 

 that was being burned on adjoining prop- 

 erty.
