nations, too. are and have been im- 

 proving until now most are of a very 

 creditable quality. Lily receipts are 

 rather limited in number but are ex- 

 ceptionally good. The cut of dahlias 

 does not seem to be very large at this 

 writing. All blooms of quality have 

 been selling readily at fair prices. 



There are plenty of 

 NEW YORK roses, at least, in all 

 the wholesale stores 

 but most of them belong to the under- 

 world of rosedom, to judge by their ap- 

 pearance. Clearing skies and cooler 

 weather may yet give them a little 

 more style than they possess at pres- 

 ent, not to mention the mildew which 

 seems to have hit some of the experts 

 while they were looking the other 

 way. There are a good many asters 

 still in sight but not many of them 

 are any credit to their race. Gladioli 

 are also on the downward grade and 

 very near the jumping off place. 

 Dahlias are making a brave effort to 

 fill the vacancy but they haven't the 

 quality to land them anywhere. As a 

 rule they are a very bedraggled tribe 

 this year. Cattleyas are coming in 

 now in abundance, the labiata season 

 being on. Lilies fairly plentiful but 

 holding their own as to price. A few 

 chrysanthemums everywhere, accepta- 

 ble as to quality for so early a date. 

 Carnations are gradually coming into 

 the field of vision and the situation 

 favors them for the moment. Isn't it 

 about time for the distinguished gen- 

 tleman with the first bunch of violets 

 to walk in? 



Business in the 

 PHILADELPHIA flower trade here 



has improved 



very much during the past week. 

 Things were a little sluggish at the 

 start but by the end good business 

 was being done and there was very 

 little surplus. Dahlias were a domi- 

 nant feature and sell better, than they 

 have done so far this season. Roses 

 plentiful and good with excellent de- 

 mand. White roses — also Radiance 

 and American Beauty leading. There 

 are also some very choice pink Kallar- 

 ney coming in. Among the new ones 

 we have to chronicle the advent of 

 Mrs. Chas. Russell, and .Johnkheer 

 Mock. These meet with generous ap- 

 proval from the buyers and are a wel- 

 come addition. The old-time talk of 

 lack of variety in the commercial rose 

 market is now a thing of the past. 

 Carnations are improving a little, but 

 the bulk are still lacking in stem.

Mrs. Ward seems to be the best so 

 far. Orchids are in with a rush and 

 the bottom has fallen out. Cattleyas 

 dropped from seventy to forty cents 

 in a twinkling. Lily of the valley, 

 Easter lilies, white chrysanthemums 

 and nearly all white flowers have sold 

 themselves — in fact more could have 

 been used. Buyers were begging tor 

 them at times. 



With cooler weather 

 ST. LOUIS the market looked 



much better during 

 the past week. Quality has toned up 

 considerably. The continuous rain 

 put a crimp in the retail trade and 

 the opening of fall was not as good as 

 was expected by the store men. 

 Roses are of good quality and bring 

 from $3 to $8 per 100 with values stif- 

 fening up. Carnations are not as yet 

 up to the standard and only a few of 

 the long stemmed ones are coming in. 

 Other stock, such as asters, gladioli, 

 tuberoses, lily of the valley and 

 Easter lilies make up the daily market 

 stock at present. Should the cool 

 weather continue prices will go up on 

 all grades of stock.
