Flower Market Reports. 



{Continited from page S5') 



The month of 

 INDIANAPOLIS October has 



opened up very 

 auspiciously, the weather fine and the 

 demand for Uowers noticeably greater 

 than the previous weelv. The cool 

 weather has been quite a factor in 

 the market and early frosts have di- 

 minished the variety and quantity of 

 stock. The quality is much improved 

 and in a short time will be equal to 

 that of mid-winter. In roses the mar- 

 ket is well supplied in all varieties; 

 carnations of every variety are to be 

 had in good quantities and are fetch- 

 ing just double what they were a few 

 weeks ago. Chrysanthemums are now 

 a feature of the market but in the 

 larger blooms only. Harrisii lilies are 

 not in heavy supply but are moved at 

 good prices. Orchids in the several 

 varieties are plentiful enough to sup- 

 ply all demand. Violets are slowly 

 coming to the front but the demand 

 for them is small. Adiantum and 

 other greenery is selling better. Some 

 dahlias are being received but season 

 is nearing the end. Tomlinson Hall 

 market reports business on the in- 

 crease. 



The period of scarc- 

 NEW YORK ity in some lines and 



activity in all which 

 gave so much gratification last week 

 to all interests did not continue long.

Circumstances seemed to conspire to 

 increase supply and decrease demand 

 at one and the same time, and if the 

 bottom didn't quite drop' out entirely 

 it certainly broke through in several 

 si;ots, and now we are back again 

 where every buyer can get more than 

 he wants and at a price which looks 

 very diminutive to the grower. Chry- 

 santhemums, violets, carnations, roses, 

 cattleyas and several other things are 

 on the increase now and the outlooV; 

 Is for a continuance of present condi- 

 tions. 



The first four 

 PHILADELPHIA days of last week 

 were very satis- 

 factory, but the warm spell brought 

 in a big influx of roses, dahlias and 

 other stock on Friday and Saturday 

 and while business was of normal 

 volume during these two days, there 

 was a slut of stock and consequent 

 congestion. Jack Frost will bring 

 first aid to the wounded— the wounded 

 in this case (as: usual) being the 

 growers and wholesalers. The retail- 

 ers are very well satisfied with condi- 

 tions and wear a "cat-that-has-eaten- 

 the-canary" expression. There are 

 more than enough American Beauty 

 roses to go around, and no present 

 hope of that radical improvement in 

 price which the growers have been 

 waiting for so long. Other roses keep 

 on improving: but we see no thirty 

 and forty-inch stems here in Mary- 

 land, Killarney, etc., such as the Chi- 



cago growers offer. Toe general im- 

 pression is that these would not be 

 profitable in the Philadelphia market 

 in early season. White Perfection, 

 Enchantress, Winsor, Bountiful, are 

 the leaders in the carnation field, also 

 a few good Beacon. Better and big- 

 ger chrysanthemums and more of them 

 with prices easier. More dahlias than 

 ever, and fine quality, but these are 

 liable to go the journey any day now. 

 Fienty of good lily of the valley and 

 cosmos and any amount of greens.
