Flower Market Reports. 



Theri' has been no 

 CINCINNATI irarked change in the 



condition of the mar- 

 ket the iiast week. The wholesale 

 houses were all pretty well sitocked up 

 and sales were usually made at buy- 

 ers' prices. Chrysanthemums continue 

 to completely dominate the market. 

 Major Bonnaffon is the only good yel- 

 low offered at present and price holds 

 very fiun lor good blooms of this va- 

 riety. Virignia Poehlmann, Ivory and 

 Touset arc the best sellers in white, 

 Shaw being about the only variety of- 

 teied in pink. Pompon varieties are 

 only received In limited quantities and 

 move briskly. The receipts of Beau- 

 ties were more than sufficient, the de- 

 mand being very light. In other roses 

 .select Killarney, Taft, My Maryland 

 and Bridesmaid clean up nicely, while 

 all white sorts continue to accumulate. 

 Carnations are, if anything, less abun- 

 dant than a week ago, with prices 

 slightly firmer. Lily of the valley and 

 violets sell fairly well. Lilium longi- 

 florum are in over-supply. Green 

 goods in good supply and demand. 

 Business for All Saints' day, while not 

 quite up to lexpectation.^, certainly 

 helped clean up the accumulations of 

 the market at some prices or other. 

 On Friday. October 2.Sth, we had the 

 first killing frost of the season. Mon- 

 day. October 31st, business assumed a 

 different tone, the market being more 

 active Ihan at any time during the 

 past two weeks. 



The fall season is 



WASHINGTON now upon us in 



earnest and with 



its advent all business has taken on a 



healthier tone. All outside crops are 

 done for unless it be a few dahlias 

 in more sheltered places. Some fine 

 carnations are being shown now, ard 

 sweet peas and violets arc coming in 

 ill limited quantities.
