Trade is very quiet 

 NEW YORK and demand light 



this weelv. Roses 

 are coming in freely and there is an 

 abundance of Beauty, Bride, Brides- 

 maid and Killarney, averages on which 

 will run considerably lower than last 

 week. Cattleyas, which have been 

 very scarce and have brought very 

 high prices are a little easier. Chrys- 

 anthemums are on the down grade and 

 are losing favor with the buyers. Car- 

 nations are on the increase, quality 

 good. Lily of the valley is strong and 

 active. 



It might have 

 PHILADELPHIA been worse. 

 Many will say — 

 how could Thanksgiving week have 

 been worse with such a storm Wed- 

 nesday and Thursday? We can only 

 illustrate the point by allusion to the 

 old story of the lady who had the 

 "might-have-been-worse" always at 

 the tip of her tongue. One morning 

 her gudeman thought he had her 

 stumped, all right. Said he: "Janet, 

 I had an awful dream last night — I 

 dreamt I was in hell!" "Oh," says 

 Janet, "it might have been worse." 

 The indignant "How so?" came like 

 a shot, and was met with — "It might 

 have been true!" So in the same 

 way this past Thanksgiving week 

 might have been worse if the hell 

 dream of many had been true — but on 

 comparison with last year's volume of

business it finally came out as a 

 pretty fair Thanksgiving after all. At 

 this writing (Xov. 30) American Beau- 

 ties are up in price and there seems 

 little chance of any surplus to cause 

 a slump, so a gradually increasing 

 schedule from now to after the holi- 

 days would seem to be in order. 

 Marylands and Killarneys are much 

 finer at present than they have been 

 at any time this season. White Kil- 

 larney is far and away the best in white 

 roses, although there are a few good 

 Brides here and there. Of course 

 Kaiserin is running down some now. 

 Carnations are finer and prices much 

 better. Chrysanthemums are on their 

 last legs, although there are still some 

 very good fiowers coming in. Gar- 

 denias are a little more plentiful; but 

 the demand keeps up so well that 

 there is but little easening in the high 

 figures. Very little life in the violet 

 market this season for some reason 



as yet unexplained. Orchids holding 

 firm at the high rates quoted last 

 week. 



If you sell pot plants to customers 

 with taste and tidy habits, the Ever 

 Ready Flower Pot Cover, advertised 

 in this paper, is just what you want 

 to please the buyer and multiply sales. 

 In the eye of a particular customer it 

 improves the appearance and adds to 

 the attractiveness of the plant fully 

 100 per cent. It comes in all sizes 

 and the cost is within everybody's 

 reach. Try a few.
