Ice chests in all the 

 BOSTON wholesale houses and 

 markets are filled to 

 overflowing this week with flowers of 

 all kinds, chrysanthemums predomi- 

 nating, but carnations not very far 

 behind in the accumulation. There 

 seems to be a pretty good business 

 on all sides but it is far from ade- 

 quate to unload the surplus which 

 now exists and is likely to continue 

 until the chrysanthemum supply 

 abates. Then the tide will turn and 

 "we shall see what we shall see." 



Chrysanthemum season 

 CHICAGO is now at its height. 

 The blooms are seen 

 everywhere and the care of them is a 

 big factor in the day's work. Out-of- 

 town trade uses up the greater part 

 of the cut and the boxing of the long- 

 stemmed blooms means much labor. 

 Of pompons there" are too many and 

 they are the only flower in the market 

 of which this can be said except violets 

 which the warm weather has put in 

 the class of poor keepers. Of roses 

 there are many, but all are selling and 

 the stock is fine. Carnations are sold 

 before they get to the store and from 

 the appearance of the counters one 

 would think that flower was not in 

 season.

Business is fairly 

 CINCINNATI good. The supply is 



large and able to 

 care for every present need. Prices 

 are fair, while shipping business con- 

 tinues good. Roses are plentiful. The 

 carnation cut is becoming heavier 

 than it was. A few lilies, single vio- 

 lets and callas may be had. Sweet 

 peas are proving good property. 

 Chrysanthemums are very plentiful. 



Liberal receipts of 

 CLEVELAND chrysanthemums in 



addition to heavier 

 consignments of roses has had the 



effect of placing supply slightly above 

 demand, there being a small surplus 

 of stock at the close of business 

 November 9. I3uying continues brisk 

 but it is done with more care and 

 deliberation than during the period 

 of the epidemic. The chrysanthemum 

 season is now at its height. Indica- 

 tions however, point to a generous 

 supply of late sorts for Thanksgivinfr. 

 Pompons of every conceivable shade 

 and color are to be had in abundance. 

 Receipts of carnations are larger, 

 fancy stock fetching 6c. and the com-
