NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 

 Business has been almost at a stand- 

 Mill during the past week. Flowers of 

 all kinds excep! roses are very scarce. 

 Very few carnations have as yet started 

 to dower. Growers around here com- 

 plain of a scarcity of plants this year, 

 a number of them having to send out of 

 town for plants i nough to fill their 

 houses. The outlook for chrysanthe- 

 mums is very promising and the florists 

 should be able to get enough here with- 



II. Woodhouse and E. E. Nofftz hav« 

 them planted by the thousands, and fine 

 looking stock, too. 



A. H. Jahn is putting the finishing 

 touches on a new greenhouse. 



The stores are fixing up for the win- 

 ter's business, E. H. Chamberlin hav- 

 ing put in a new tile window. William 

 Peirce is painting inside and outside, and 

 is also to put in a tile window. C. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Chrysanthemums are now beginning 

 to arrive in large numbers and in a few 

 days more there will be enough to fill 

 all orders. White, yellow and pink are 



to I e had and - i of the blooms are 



extra fine. So far the top price has 

 been $2 per dozen and from that down 

 to 75 cents. The demand has been very 

 good, but the day is past when the re- 

 tailor will give a fancy price for a 

 'mum just because it is early. At the 

 present time the money is to be made 

 from I he later blooming sorts. 



In other lines trade is only medium. 

 Roses are coming in very heavily and 

 are slow sale Even the better quality 

 do not move readily and short-stemmed 

 ones are very near a glut. American 

 Beauties, Liberties and Meteors are the 

 exception. The former seem to be off 

 crop at present and there are not 

 enough to fill orders. Brides, Maids and 

 i;-ii,.s are showing a great deal of im- 



good qua 



the demand now than 



is season. Some very 

 oms are to be had. A 

 jaraations are being 

 snipped into this city, which has helped 

 greatly to make up the shortage. Gov. 

 Wolcott is showing up in especially 

 good form and it looks as if this varie- 

 ty has come to make its mark. They 

 readily bring $3 per 100. which is high 

 mail ]■,„• ear-nations so far. This mar- 

 ket is fl led with cosmos and it is ex- 

 ceptionally fine. Violets are plentiful 

 and very good, with brisk sale.
