cleaning up with exception of white 

 roses. In chrysanthemums the de- 

 mand was mostly for small and medi- 

 um grades. Fancy blooms had to be 

 sacrificed to malce sales, as the flower 

 buying public do not seem willing to 

 pay the price. The market on Beauties 

 was very weak and prices compara- 

 tively low. The demand for select 

 pink teas was very consistent and very 

 little if any call for white roses. Car- 

 nations have slackened up consider- 

 ably, prices advancing accordingly. 

 Violets are improving in quality and 

 sell fairly well. Lily of the valley in 

 fair supply and demand. There is very 

 littlr request for Lilium longiflorum. 

 Green goods in good su])ply. 



After a long dull 

 NEW ORLEANS summer, with lots 

 of expenses in- 

 curred to keep going, the avalanche of 

 business that comes on Nov. 1st, is 

 welcome to the florist, and is needed 

 to bring things back to a healthy con- 

 dition. With ideal weather prevailing. 

 All Saints' day this year proved to be 

 the greatest we have ever experienced. 

 Tremendous quantities of flowers were 

 sold, the demand being especially 

 great for select stock, this being par- 

 ticularly the case with chrysanthe- 

 mums. There was a scarcity of the 

 best grade grown at home, which was 

 supplied from outside sources. Out- 

 door sweet peas and violets are mak- 

 ing their appearance, ana the pros- 

 pects for a good crop of mid-winter 

 sweet peas is good. We grow these 

 outdoors without any protection. 



Since our report of 

 NEW YORK last week there has 



been a slightly im- 

 proved turn in the flower market for 

 which we must thank the weather 

 more than anything else. The cut on 

 many things is materially reduced and 

 on the other hand the public are more 

 disposed to buy. Clirysanthemums 

 still monopolize the middle of the road 

 and take the lead in sales not only to 

 the high-class dealers, but to the medi- 

 um and the street trade as well, and 

 the quality Is good all along the line. 

 Roses are not being received so heav- 

 ily; quality is excellent for the season. 

 Carnations are too abundant for the 

 call and will undoubtedly suffer in 

 this respect until the chrysanthemum 

 avalanche has passed. Orchids are 

 firmer, the heaviest crop of cattleyas 

 having been cut. Violets show im- 

 provement in quality and sales, due to 

 the more favorable weather. The ex- 

 pressmen's strike has been a severe

The general tone 

 PHILADELPHIA of the market 



was sluggish all 

 along the line last week. This was 

 consequent partly on the bad weather 

 in the middle of the week and partly 

 on the long continued outdoor season, 

 with a plethora of dahlias and other 

 outdoor subjects. But by Friday and 

 Saturday there was a change and 

 things began to pick up, notwithstand- 

 ing the rainy weather — and the week 

 finally wound up in a fairly good 

 clean-up. The new week starts out in 

 brisk style, and we seem to have es- 

 caped from the doldrums for the time 

 being. The American Beauty market 

 is holding up fairly well. There are 

 enough flowers to go around, of fine 

 grade. Other roses are now selling 

 a little better; but on the whole 

 they have been anything but brisk. 

 White roses especially, have been 

 on the sluggish list. The new yel- 

 low Dickson, "Melody," has now been 

 on the market two weeks, and 

 has been grabbed up soon as offered. 

 All the eyes are cut out of the wood ot 

 this new rose, of course — so there is 

 little chance for the smart lad that 

 would make cuttings for next spring. 

 Jardine is in; but it is not topnotch as 

 yt'l, althou.^U ijretty good considering 

 the season. Carnations were rather 

 draggy until the last two days. The 

 aristocrats this week are Alma Ward, 

 Mrs. Ward, and 0. P. Bassett; the lat- 

 ter claimed by Raymond Kester ot 

 Penuoclc Bros, to be one of the best 

 keepers in the list. Chrysanthemums 

 are in their .slory now; but sales hang 

 fire, and it must be confessed that 

 prices do not average as good as in 

 previous years. The dahlias and other 

 outdoor subjects hung on too long for 

 a good healthy chrysanthemum season. 

 Gardenias, orchids, lily of the valley, 

 lilies, lilacs, etc., are in good demand, 

 and cleaning up fairly well.
