market at present, being in good de- 

 mand and bringing very fair prices. 

 Dahlias are still a strong factor, of 

 course, but we have had a surfeit of 

 them for so many weeks that, good 

 as they are, we welcome a little 

 change. That's why the chrysanthe- 

 mum looks so good to most of them 

 at present. Monrovia, one of the good 

 yellows, is now prominent: and Polly 

 rose in white and Pacific in pink are 

 also seen in liberal quantities. Con- 

 ditions in the rose market remain still 

 on the scarce side — all the growers cut- 

 ting only limited quantities. This is 

 especially the case with Beauties, 

 Richmonds, and Liberties. Marylands 

 and pink Killarneys are perhaps a 

 little more plentiful. White roses are 

 moving well — Kaiserin in the lead, 

 with White Killarney a close second. 

 In carnations the quality remains 

 about the same. The most conspicu- 

 ous at present are Enchantress. White 

 Perfection, Beacon, and Pink Delight. 

 The flush in the orchid crop seems to 

 have abated — these not nearly so 

 abundant as noted at last report. 

 Lily of the valley is also a little 

 more plentiful. There are' a few 

 single violets and sweet peas to 

 be seen around. Not very good 

 yet. The cool weather of the 

 past few days has shortened up 

 gardenias. Cosmos is now at its very 

 best. Fine long stemmed stock with 

 big flowers and excellent substance. 



Wholesalers are ex- 

 NEW YORK periencing a very 

 quiet period this 

 week. Stock comes in freely and 

 prices are away down on most lines. 

 No fault can be found with quality, 

 which is very satisfactory as a rule. 

 The apathy in trading is general 

 among all classes and the low-price 

 establishments and street men are 

 having no better success than their 

 fellows who do business in the more 

 fashionable neighborhoods. Chrysan- 

 themums are now multiplying rapidly 

 with prices ruling considerably lower 

 than they were a week ago. Roses 

 have taken a drop but not so severe as 

 some other things, the white vari- 

 eties selling fairly well. Cattleya labi- 

 ata has jumped from the scarce side 

 to the overstocked side and quantities 

 are left on the hands of the dealers 

 who are glad to consider prices fifty 

 per cent or more below the figures 

 easily obtainable but a few days ago. 

 Violets are on the increase, but the 

 weather has been rather too summery 

 for their comfort and the blooms are

not of much account just at present. 

 There is the usual demand at this sea- 

 son for autuuiu tinted oak foliage. Cro- 

 tons are effectively used in association 

 with these and chrysanthemums for 

 window decorations. Cosmos is in by 

 the cart load but is not in much tavor 

 apparently. Lilies are of splendid 

 quality and there are lots of them at 

 figures a shade lower than last week. 



To the list of flowers given in our 

 tabulated price quotations in the va- 

 rious wholesale centres we might 

 casually add the following, which real- 

 ize approximately the figures annexed: 

 Dahlias, ?1 to $3 per 100: Dendrobium 

 formosum giganteum, 35 to 50c.; On- 

 cidium varicosum Rogersii, $1.50 to |3; 

 Cypripediums, $12.50 to $15; Cosmos. 

 25 to 50c.; Tuberose spikes, $2 to $3; 

 Tritomas, $2 to $3; Bouvardia, $1 to 

 $2; Adiantum Croweanum brings 50 

 per cent, more than ordinary cunea- 

 tum; Farleyense $15.
