A full week of bright weather and moderate 

 temperature has brought a heavy cut to the 

 market, and there has also been a lessening 

 of the call from outside points. As a result 

 prices have become "weak in the neck" all 

 through the list. It is likely that many who 

 were ordering from this market of late are now- 

 cutting stock themselves. 



In Beauties the quality shows material im- 

 provement, and though quotations show no 

 change the buyer can get more for his money. 

 Other roses show better quality here and there, 

 but the great bulk of the increase in supply has 

 to go in the class for culls, and a good many 

 are very poor culls at that. Prices show a de- 

 cline of a dollar a hundred on nearly all grades, 

 and rates are weakest on the lower grades., as 

 usual. On many shipments the dealers are kept 

 busy picking over a thousand roses to get out 

 a hundred firsts, but the quantity is so large 

 there is no trouble getting enough of all grades. 

 The great problem is to move the culls,. 



In carnations .$3.00 is practically the top for 

 the best, though a few good fancy, such as 

 Prosperity, etc., reach $4.00. Really good flow- 

 ers can be had for $1.5U to ?2.00. and by some 

 dealers the latter figure is named as the" top of 

 the market. It has got to be a pretty fair 

 flower to bring the cull price. $1.00, and job 

 lot sales are no doubt made at a lower figure. 

 White remains in best demand, but there are 

 enough whites for all now. 



Chrysanthemums show further improvement 

 In quality, but prices are weaker. Only the 

 very extra fancy reach $2.50 a dozen, while very 

 fine flowers can be had for $2.00 and reallv 

 good stock at $1.00 to $1.50. Common stuff sell's 

 at as low as $5.00 per 100 and "aster sizes" go 

 by the armful at any old price. The varieties 

 that now cnt a figure in the market are Robin- 

 son, Bergmann, Kalb, October Sunshine. WhlU- 

 dtn, Monrovia, etc. WiUowbrook and Pacific 

 are passing out. Some Ivory are beginning to 

 appear and Morel is expected dally. The chrys- 

 anthemum situation is not at all satisfactory* to 

 the growers. Prices rule considerably lower 

 than at same time last year. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY. 



The Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- 

 ica has appropriated the sum of 

 .$150.00 to be used in defraying the ex- 

 pense of transportation of fine specimen 

 plants of chrysanthemums to the exhibi- 

 tion at Chicago, November 11 to 15. By 

 paying the express charges the society 

 will make it comparatively inexpensive 

 for growers of fine plants to compete at 

 the national exhibition even when remote 

 from the citv where it is to be held.
