 mon grades 4c. The shortage In 

 greens has been greatly alleviated by 

 the more timely arrival of boxwood 

 and leucothoe, although the express 

 service is far from being in a healthy 

 condition. New England ferns con- 

 tinue to come In irregularly. Novem- 

 ber business Is substantially in ad- 

 vance of that of last year and a feel- 

 ing of optimism is evidenced among 

 the growers, caused by the recent con- 

 cessions of the Fuel Administra- 

 tion, which are interpreted as being 

 tantamount to a full supply in the 

 state of Ohio. 



We have run into a 

 NEW YORK rather dull period so 



far as sales are con- 

 cerned — at a time too when there is a 

 generous supply of chrysanthemums 

 and plenty of tea roses and carnations. 

 Beauties alone are in smaller supply 

 and are selling at record prices for 

 early November. With all the quietude 

 prices generally are above the corres- 

 ponding week last year though the 

 tendency is downward with carnations 

 in particular unless business improves, 

 and that, we all feel, will come to pass 

 as society is relieved of its burden of 

 war work and the many channels that 

 claimed its contributions of money and 

 time. The generally excellent quality 

 of the stock coming into the market 

 is notable. Longiflorum lilies are not 

 very plentiful and meet with only ordi- 

 nary demand; this also applies to pink 

 lilies. There is little change in orchids, 

 lily of the valley does not go with a 

 snap though the quantity received is 

 not large. Asparagus and smilax are 

 not moving freely. 



Rather a slow 

 PHILADELPHIA week here. Too 



many roses for 

 the demand, with the quality all that 

 could be desired — a combination not 

 experienced for many moons. Carna- 

 tions In rather better favor. They

seemed to move off with less effort 

 tlian anything else. In the chrysan- 

 themum market Maud Dean, the 

 dainty pink, is one of the leaders. 

 There are also some fine pink and 

 yellow Chadwicks. Of course Bonnaf- 

 fon is still prominent and there are 

 some very good Razers around. 

 Enough lilies for the demand dt nor- 

 mal prices. Violets went a little bet- 

 ter. 



The past week has 



ROCHESTER, been remarkably 



N. Y. quiet. The supply 



is large and the 

 small demand means quantities of 

 stock each day unsold. The epidemic 

 is entirely under control and funeral 

 work is more quiet. The market is 

 largely filled with chrysanthemums. 

 There is a large supply of pompons 

 which are selling fairly well. Roses 

 are not moving so readily. Orchids 

 are receiving fair demand. Carna- 

 tions are of good quality and more 

 plentiful. Bouvardia is good and vio- 

 lets are of splendid quality but so far 

 are moving slowly. 



Peace celebrations and 

 ST. LOUIS the influenza ban have 



curtailed retail busi- 

 ness, which has been conducted 

 mainly through the telephone. Flor- 

 ists are busy, however, with funeral 

 work and roses and carnations are 

 arriving in fine shape but have sold 

 a shade lower than previous week. 



ROCHESTER. 



George Cramer is remodelling the 

 greenhouse of Vick & Hill at Fairport. 



Fred Peartree, formerly of Geo. T. 

 Boucher, is now managing the Rosery 

 Flower Shop. 



E. R. Fry of West avenue had a 

 big chrysanthemum sale, selling them 

 at a very low price. 



Clyde H. La Rock, formerly of Geo. 

 Boucher, is now with Motor Transport 

 Corps, stationed at Sheridan, Illinois. 



Chrysanthemums are now on dis- 

 play at Highland Park. Visitors to 

 the conservatory have been remarking 

 on the unusual beauty of the plants. 

 The chrysanthemums are the only 

 plants now on display in the conser- 

 vatory, all the others having been 

 moved to other quarters in the expec- 

 tation that the Park Department 

 would not be allowed fuel. Announce- 

 ment has now been made that a sup- 

 ply of fuel sufficient to heat all the 

 conservatories will be allowed. A 

 small display of chrysanthemums has 

 been placed in the window of the 

 Park Department in the Municipal 

 building.
