normal for this season of the year. 

 Better grade of Tafl, My Maryland, 

 Killarney, etc., clean up daily. The 

 market on Biide, White Killarney and 

 Ivory has shown some improvement 

 even if clearances at times were made 

 at less than quoted prices. Carnations 

 have also felt the improvement and 

 best quality has been selling at $3.00 

 and in a few instances at $4.00 per 

 100 for extra select stock. Lily of the 

 valley in light supply and good de- 

 mand. A good call for violets, but 

 light for longiflorum lilies. Small lots 

 of antirrhinum and Baby primrose are 

 coming in and sell at fair prices. Green 

 goods are in good supply with a fair 

 demand. 



On some lines the 



NEW YORK market has stiffened 

 up a little; on others, 

 it has gone in the opposite direction. 

 Chrysanthemums continue to occupy 

 the centre of the stage and the qual- 

 ity of much of the stock coming in is 

 simply grand. But there is too heavy 

 a supply (or the legitimate demand, 

 and hence considerable of it has to be 

 forced into a sale by cutting the price 

 and letting the stock go for less than 

 it is intrinsically worth. The some- 

 what brisker and more hopeful tone 

 which the market has presented for 

 the past week is due more, we should 

 =!ay, to the cold weather, which has 

 reduced the cut for the time being, 

 than to any direct increase in the de- 

 mand. Prices are better on orchids 

 and violets. A little stevia and some 

 occasional forced bulb flowers give no- 

 tice that holiday time is not far away 

 and it is about time for values to ad- 

 vance to somewhere near the winter 

 schedule. This will not happen, proba- 

 bly, until the chrysanthemum supply 

 is cut down. Roses were never finer 

 ,at this season than they are at pres- 

 ent. As to Beauties, they are not do- 

 ing so well as the other varieties and 

 the supply is on the short side. 



There was a de- 



PHILADELPHIA cided improve- 

 ment in the qual- 

 ity of roses arriving last week, the 

 proportion of 24 and 30-inch stems in 

 Marylands, Richmonds and similar 

 varieties being larger and adding tone 

 to the general situation. The grades 

 advanced from firsts as top, to fancies 

 and specials at proportionate quota- 

 tions in these lines, and the clean up 

 at the end of the week was unusually 

 good. The only item that hung fire 

 was white roses, the colored varieties 

 being in tar better demand on ac- 

 count of the outdoor sports of various

kinds. The latter element caused 

 brisk trading in the better grades of 

 yellow chrysanthemums, and violets 

 went well also. Lily of the valley 

 was rather scarce at times, and had 

 to be eked out occasionally with white 

 lilac sprays. The latter is exception- 

 ally good for this season of the year. 

 Orchids are quite scarce, not nearly 

 enough cattleyas for the demand. 

 There will probably be little change 

 in that situation until Dec. 1 at the 

 earliest. Violets are being quoted at 

 $1.25 to $]..50 and sellers are mostly 

 holding quite firmly to these high 

 figures, which accurately measure the 

 present situation. There is no change 

 in the American Beauty market. 

 These are plentiful and good with the 

 price list about the same, although 

 slightly easier on special lots at times. 

 Mrs. Ward and Alma Ward lead the 

 procession in carnations. 



Business has been fair, 

 TOLEDO though the weather was 



rather against it. Chry- 

 santhemums of course take the lead. 

 Carnations so far are of only medium 

 quality, while roses are good. Potted 

 plants take a back seat as long as 

 chrysanthemums are to be had. 



NEWS NOTES. 



Connellsvllle, Pa. — The addition to 



the greenhouses of George Schomer 

 are just completed. He now has a 

 total of 14.000 square feet under 

 glass. In the near future he expects 

 to open a down town office, sales and 

 display room in the Wyman Hotel. 



Dover, N. H. — Walter F. Sherman, 

 florist at the Garrison Hill Green- 

 houses, while engaged in handling 

 roses embedded a thorn in the little 

 finger of the right hand. He thought 

 little of it at the time, but eventually 

 blood poison set in and he only found 

 relief by having the member ampu- 

 tated.
