The Market. 



You may lahcl me a false prophet — • 

 or profit — whichever way suits you best. 

 Last week I insisted that there would 

 be no cause to look for lower figures 

 again until spring; but ever since then 

 a stagnation lias existed that no cut in 

 prices could break, unless the goods were 

 very good indeed. In the latter case no 

 cut in price was necessary, as everything 

 in that class kept moving quite freely, 

 there being reallv a limited supply of 

 it. 



Thanksgiving day did give the chry- 

 santhemum business a good farewell ben- 

 efit, indeed. Tliere does not seem to be 

 much left but the scrapings of the 

 benches, and a two-dollar l>ill may be 

 expected to surround the best twelve 

 blooms nowadays. 



There is but little worthy of remark 

 during the present state of things. Lilies 

 have been out of the market for a week 

 or two, but are now coming in slowly 

 from Eaton's greenhouses, and selling 

 well. Mignonette has made rather a slim 

 showing so far, and is probably more 

 scarce than anything else of a seasonable 

 nature. 



The incorporation of the firm of Thom- 

 as F. Galvin causes more comment than 

 anything else just now. It was done un- 

 der the laws of New Jersey, with a capi- 

 tal stock of $250,000. Have you seen 

 the fine new sidewalk tower clock at 

 the Back Bay establishment? 



Under the pressure of the coal situa- 

 tion several growers have experimented 

 with some of the many forms of oil burn- 

 ers in the market, but I hear of no real 

 satisfaction from their use. Too, a pet 

 way for them to do business seems to be 

 to get a deposit with' the order and then 

 appear to be too busy to install the ma- 

 chine. J. S. Manteb. 



DOES BUSINESS. 



Owing to the man.y orders sent us as 

 the result of our advertisements of sur- 

 plus stock in the Eeview, we have been 

 obliged to return checks and orders to 

 customer.s. 



We are more than delighted with the 

 Review as an advertising medium. In 

 our opinion it is unequalled.

 -^ ^ PRESENT, 



To an appreciated employe or a friend in the trade, nothing will 

 prove more acceptable and give more satisfaction than a copy of 



The Florists' Manual, 



By WM. SCOTT. 



It is a complete reference book for commercial florists and is 

 exceedingly useful as well as handsomely bound.
