As always, the Thanks- 

 BOSTON • giving demand in Boston 



is all right, clearing up 

 all the congested material that is fit 

 to use and making a new standard of 

 values for the coming weeks. Carna- 

 tions are not doing as well as they 

 should, however, in order to keep up 

 to the record of past years. There 

 are too many of them for the immedi- 

 ate demand. Roses are doing better, 

 the new candidates bringing double 

 prices, too, as compared with the old 

 standbys, which is all right and proper. 

 Chrysanthemums are not very fine as 

 a rule, the rather warm weather hav- 

 ing taken most of the nerve out of 

 them already. Violets are slowly im- 

 proving but it will require a couple or 

 weeks of colder weather to bring them 

 up to recognized standard. They are 

 not over plenty, so the price stays at 

 a respectable figure. Christmas plants 

 are here already. 



A full week of rain and 

 BUFFALO cloudy weather and the 

 market has finally got 

 in such condition that prices are more 

 satisfactory all around. The quantity 

 of stock has shortened especially on 

 the rose end and select stock touched 

 the 12c. mark. Beauties are scarce 

 and the prices also advanced. Chrys- 

 anthemums 'are enough and the qual- 

 ity good. Bonnatfon has been in heavy 

 supply and has been the best seller. 

 but mostly in medium grade and price. 

 Lily of the valley, violets, lilies, stevia 

 and Roman hyacinths are good. There 

 are too many paper whites and too 

 •jnuch smilax.

As the season advances 

 CHICAGO prices are better on 



chrysanthemums though 

 not by any means excessive. This 

 week's sales will be the heaviest of 

 the season, but there are still two 

 weeks before the queen of the fall will 

 be gone. With plants the same condi- 

 tion prevails, the late varieties only 

 being left. Carnations are plentiful 

 and are not expected to reach so high 

 a price as on some Thanksgivings. 

 Killarney and Sunburst roses are both 

 very pale, the unseasonably hot 



weather of the past week having faded 

 them out, but they are selling without 

 a reduction in price. There is not a 

 particularly large supply of American 

 Beauties coming into the market now. 

 Bouvardia. in pink and white, is here 

 in limited quantity and quickly bought 

 up. The warm weather caused some 

 eastern violets to arrive in poor condi- 

 tion, but with the lower temperature 

 quality is good and stock moves quick- 

 ly. A few butterfly sweet peas and a 

 fair supply of common ones are to be 

 had. Stevia is not meeting with much 

 demand and paper whites sell slowly. 

 Green is in good supply.
