 PHILADELPHIA week here panned 



out better than 

 was expected. There was a good de- 

 mand and as the supply was less than 

 usual the market cleaned up very 

 nicely. Of course the volume was not 

 as large as in former years which 

 kept prices on a moderate basis. The 

 chrysanthemums held the center of 

 the stage but the roses and carnations 

 were good seconds. Orchids were in 

 very good demand and stiffened up a 

 little in price. Lilacs and gardenias 

 sold well and there was call for more 

 of these than were in sight. Alto- 

 gether a very good week and augurs 

 well for Christmas trade. 



The Thanksgiving 

 PITTSBURGH trade practically 



wound up the chrys- 

 anthemum season. Right up until the 

 end these flowers have held their own. 

 Short-stemmed roses continue scarce 

 but the longer grades are more plenti- 

 ful. There is an abundance of greens 

 of all kinds, boxwood especially be- 

 ing good. Funeral work is keeping an 

 otherwise mediocre business fairly 

 lively. 



Thanksgiving busi- 

 ROCHESTER ness was better than 

 anticipated. It was 

 in several ways smaller than that of 

 previous years but considering the un- 

 settled times we should be satisfied. 

 Stock was fairly plentiful and sold at 

 good prices. The shipping business 

 was good. Roses of all kinds were 

 plentiful with the exception of red 

 varieties. Lilies are in large supply 

 and do not move at all fast. Pompon 

 chrysanthemums are nearly cleaned 

 up after a good season. Carnations 

 are still scarce. Violets sold well for 

 Thanksgiving but several shipments 

 of orchids and violets were frozen. 

 Cornflowers are plentiful. 



Thanksgiving trade 

 ST. LOUIS from all reports waa 



very good. Of course 

 chrysanthemums took the lead. Violets 

 were not plentiful. Roses and carna- 

 tions were decidedly scarce. In chrys- 

 anthemums Honnaffon was greatly in 

 evidence in all grades, also a fine sup- 

 ply of Chad wick. Dark cloudy weather 

 accounted in a great measure for the 

 short supply. All greens sold \vell. 



BUSINESS TROUBLES. 



Elleville, III.— St. Claire Floral Co., 

 conducted by A. S. Austin, has filed 

 petition in involuntary bankruptcy. 



A joint session of the Pittsburgh 

 florists' and Gardeners' Club, the Ilor- 

 tictiltural Society of Western Pennsyl- 

 vania and the Sew-ickley Horticul- 

 tural Society was held last Tuesday 

 evening to inaugurate plans for the 

 Autumn Flower Show of 1918.
