as are also callas and sweet peas. Lil- 

 ies are received In limited numbers 

 and sell well. More stevia could be 

 sold. Lily of the valley is in light 

 demand. The call for green goods is 

 normal. 



Weather conditions 

 NEW YORK and the crop situa- 

 tion generally favor a 

 steady marliet, undisturbed by over- 

 stock in any line until after the holi- 

 days. The chrysanthemum is nearing 

 its final exodus, small Bonnaftons, yel- 

 low and white Chadwick, Timothy 

 Eaton Nagoya, McArthur, and a few 

 ragged white and pink loiterers being 

 about all there is in sight now. This 

 leaves the field clear for other mate- 

 rial and there is no surplus of any- 

 thing to make trouble. At the same 

 time the legitimate demand is not suf- 

 ficiently ravenous to induce any no- 

 ticeable advance in values and conse- 

 quently affairs are running on an even 

 keel and giving no particular worry 

 to anybody. The only people who are 

 anyway concerned are the, wholesalers 

 who, with the recent additions to 

 their already over full ranks, see their 

 hard-earned commission sub-divided 

 among so many that the outlook pre- 

 sents a rather unpropitious aspect. 

 Roses are in fair supply and excellent 

 in quality. Carnations and violets are 

 on the short side. Cattleyas are ex- 

 tremely so and cannot be had in any 

 great quantity, but the prospect is 

 good for a fair supply for the Holi- 

 days. Lilies are sufficient for all de- 

 mands, as are lily of the valley, 

 stevia, Roman hyacinths and paper 

 white narcissi. The hyacinths and 

 narcissi are already too plentiful and 

 prices are at low tide. The hyacinths 

 run inferior in size generally but will 

 improve. We advise those of our 

 readers who are likely to be in the 

 market as buyers for Christmas to get 

 their orders placed early as, with nor- 

 mal weather conditions, there is no 

 prospect of a panicky market. See 

 the advertisements of the leading 

 wholesale dealers in this paper. 



As is usual after 

 PHILADELPHIA a holiday week, 



the first few days 

 after Thanksgiving were rather dull, 

 and long faces were seen in the 

 wholesale flower markets. But this 

 did not last long, and the week wound 

 up with a satisfactory record. In fact, 

 by Saturday, it was quite evident that 

 things were back again to normal, and

in some items — notably in carnations 

 and orchids — the market took quite a 

 jump. At this writing the tone is 

 firm and tending upward all along 

 the line; and will in all .likelihood 

 remain so until after the holidays. 

 The cloudy weather has to do with 

 the carnation situation, of course; but 

 also in a greater degree to the fact 

 that many growers lost much young 

 stock and filled up with sweet peas 

 and other quick catch-crops. So that 

 there is a sound physical reason for the 

 smaller than average supply locally of 

 carnations at this time. There is a 

 fine supply of high-grade roses, and 

 these high grades while going all 

 right are not always just what the 

 market demands. The call at present 

 is more for the lower grades, and 

 there is not enough of these to sat- 

 isfy. In chrysanthemums, there are 

 still a few to be seen around. Chad- 

 wick and Nonin mostly. Lily of the 

 valley is very good and not overplen- 

 tiful. The same may be said of vio- 

 lets. There is a good regular supply 

 of gardenias and white lilac to be 

 had, as well as Roman hyacinths, paper 

 whites, wallflowers. lupins, snap- 

 dragons, etc. A novelty seen in one 

 market — pussy willow. We did not 

 learn where this came from. Melody 

 rose is seen around, but is not to be 

 had yet except by the favored few. 

 Greens, such as holly, lycopodium, 

 etc., for Christmas, appear to be 

 scarce. The reason for this has not 

 yet been explained; but it seems to 

 be an undoubted fact. It looks as if 

 there would be a scramble for this 

 class of stock during the next few 

 days.
