is very slack and shipments out-of- 

 town are out of the question. Roses 

 are of fine quality generally but car- 

 nations average very inferior, many 

 split flowers being seen, and white va- 

 rieties are hard to dispose of. Poin- 

 settlas are already a feature of the 

 market. Chrysanthemums are "on 

 their last legs," but there are still a 

 good many pompon varieties coming 

 in and they sell quite well. Of lilies, 

 violets, Roman hyacinths, cattleyas, 

 cypripediums, stevia, callas, mignon- 

 ette, calendulas, etc., etc., there is an 

 abundance and of paper white narcis- 

 sus a great over-abundance and conse- 

 quent accumulation. 



There has been no 

 ROCHESTER particular change in 



business conditons 

 during the past few days, with the ex- 

 ception that preparations are being 

 made for Christmas trade. So tar 

 there is little to sell of outdoor decor- 

 ative material. Holiday greens are of 

 good grade with prices higher than 

 usual. Flowers are scarce in about all 

 lines. Chrysanthemums are almost at 

 an end. Carnations are about as 

 scarce as they could be, and as is al- 

 ways the case they are strictly in de- 

 mand. The call for violets has fallen 

 off considerably and prices have gone 

 accordingly. Roses are in fair supply 

 but the call for them is not very ac- 

 tive. Lilies are scarcely moving. 

 Stevia is in fair demand. Orchids are 

 plentiful but the lack of corsage work 

 hold them back. 



Cold weather has a 

 ST. LOUIS great effect on busi- 

 ness, especially on 

 transient trade. Chrysanthemums are 

 getting shorter in supply although 

 there may be some at Christmas of the 

 late varieties. The trade in cut flow- 

 ers from now till Christmas will be 

 limited and bright weather might 

 bring on a surplus. At present there 

 is no over supply and prices are high. 

 Holly and mistletoe arriving about the 

 18th. Ruscus quotations are higher 

 than last year. The supply houses are 

 now pushing Christmas novelties.
