more abundantly; Robt. Halliday and 

 Touset have been added to the list. 

 Violets have been a little weak in 

 demand, but lily of the valley is sell- 

 ing well. Beauties are of fine quality, 

 also White Killarney. My Maryland 

 is the leader in pink, though excellent 

 pink Killarneys are seen; also Brides- 

 maids. The call for Perles is increas- 

 ing daily and some excellent stock in 

 yellow are to be had. The scarce ai ti- 

 de is still the fancy carnation and 

 not enoush can be had at a time. 

 Gladioli, dahlias, cosmos and asters 

 were still on the list and the cemetery 

 florist on the lookout for this material. 

 Dahlias have been exceptionally good 

 this tall and such varieties as Jack 

 Rose. Sylvia, Arabella and Kreimhilde 

 have sold well. 



More flowers is the ciy 



CHICAGO of the wholesalers. The 



supply is apparently 



shorter each day and the m.arket shows 



more bare tables than usually con-

fronts the retailer when he seeks his 

 stock. Carnations are gone as soon as 

 unpacked and a trip through the mar- 

 ket at noon reveals the fact that car- 

 nations are not to be had at any price. 

 The weather, that never-failing scape- 

 goat, is said to be the cause of the 

 scarcity, notwithstanding the fact that 

 Chicago has had all kinds of weather 

 during the past three weeks. Chrysan- 

 themums are coming in satisfactorily 

 and a fair number of varieties are now 

 in bloom. Of roses there are enough 

 to go around, but nothing in excess. 

 Beauties are on long stems, many fully 

 40 inches and there are also short and 

 mediums in sufficient supply to fill all 

 ordinary demands. 



Local business condi- 

 DETROIT tions are up to the Oc- 

 tober standard. The 

 shortage of carnations is becoming 

 very irksome. Chrysanthemums also 

 are coming in slower than the de- 

 mand for them. Prices are about the 

 same, but another week will see a 

 material increase. Most of the down- 

 town stores have frequent call for 

 table decorations, as there are also 

 some bookings for weddings and balls 

 for December. It all helps to bring us 

 back to an activity such as we all 

 enjoyed during the season before last. 



Improved weather 



NEW YORK conditions resulting 



in the elimination of 



outdoor products and in the •advance- 



ment of quality on greenhouse-grown 

 material, have helped the situation 

 here very materially. Demand is no 

 better than it was last week, but there 

 is an occasional spurt on one line or 

 another which is encouraging as point- 

 ing to the time near at hand when 

 the spurt will be sustained long 

 enough to bring market values to a 

 uniform and generally profitable stan- 

 dard. There is no scarcity of any- 

 thing. Orchids, violets, roses, carna- 

 tions, chrysanthemums, lilies, lily of 

 the valley— all are obtainable in any 

 quantity and in quality which no one 

 can reasonably find fault with. Roses 

 move verv reluctantly and carnations 

 .have lapsed badly in demand. There 

 "is in fact, a surplus on all lines and 

 so long as it continues stable market 

 values are out of the question.
