The past week lias been 

 BOSTON a tough one for the pro- 

 ducer, the markettnan 

 and the wholesale dealer, and. indeed, 

 there has not been much in it for the 

 retailer, either, although he has had 

 the beloved privilege of making prices 

 just about as he chose. There has 

 been a heavy glut of many things, due 

 to the summery weather which con- 

 tinued uninterruptedly for so long 

 and pushed everything along at an 

 abnormal pace — that is. everything ex- 

 cept violets; they simply rebel and 

 will not stand for such unseasonable 

 nonsense. Chrysanthi'mums are com- 

 ing in with a rush and values have 

 been cut in half. Roses are equally 

 over-supplied and it will take a good 

 dose of inclement weather to retard 

 them and bring them to a reasonable 

 balance. They have been very flabby, 

 but cooler nights have helped them a 

 little the past day or two. Carnations 

 feel the impulse as well as anything 

 else. They are improving in quality 

 and prices are lower. Orchids, too 

 abundant for the demand, and selling 

 at prices that are below their in- 

 trinsic value. Gardenias have stood 

 the test very well, but a little over

supply would soon make them weaker. 

 Lily of the valley is not selling as 

 well as anticipated for last half of 

 October. There are lots of violets, so- 

 called, coming in. Singles are poor; 

 doubles are worse, and, in fact, un- 

 salable. A bad failure in the retail 

 trade here, mentioned in another 



news column, has had a depressing ef- 

 fect on the wholesale trade, many of 

 whom are caught in the disaster.
