holiday market, and many of the 

 pompons the hest sellers are the in- 

 door grown. These are better as to 

 color, form and finish than the out- 

 door and always get the preference. 

 No other ills worthy of mention in 

 Pennsylvania for the time being. .Mas- 

 sachusetts has annexed a citizen of 

 East Providence, this state, and made 

 him governor, but never mind, we take 

 that as a compliment. 



The wonderfully 

 PITTSBURGH beautiful weather 

 that has made the 

 present autumn distinctive, is provini; 

 detrimental to the wholesale florists 

 and these retail firms as well. All 

 flowers in season are plentiful and of 

 the best. Last Saturday the football 

 game happily made big inroads on the 

 chrysanthemum growers and dis- 

 pensers. 



The trade has 

 SAN FRANCISCO been hoping for 

 a good rain, 

 which would stimulate trade and clear 

 a lot of unseasonable stuff out of the 

 way, but only a little shower has fallen 

 so far. There is quite a lot of small 

 outdoor stock coming in every day — 

 stocks, cosmos, etc., even a few zin- 

 nias, and most of it finds a market. 

 It looks as if this week would finish 

 the gladioli and dahlias, after a long 

 season. The market is fairly glutted 

 with chrysanthemums, and the finest 

 kind of stock goes begging. A great 

 many growers and dealers are making 

 heavy shipments east nearly every 

 day, but fail to clean up the offerings. 

 and the Chinese chrysanthemums are 

 a drug on the market. Pompons are 

 extensively used. Cooler weather has 

 helped the violets, which are about at 

 their prime; even the shipping varie- 

 ties seem to be reaching the east in 

 fine shape and shipments have in- 

 creased rapidly this week. With them 

 also are shipped many Cecile Drunner 

 roses, of which there is a fine large 

 crop, but not any too much for re- 

 quirements. Carnations are showing 

 up well now, but receive little atten- 

 tion. Roses are good and most varie- 

 ties fairly plentiful, but the daily ar- 

 rivals are pretty well taken up by the 

 local trade. Of Killarneys. only the 

 white variety now finds much favor. 

 Russell is very popular and Ophelia is 

 as big a seller as ever. In flowering 

 plants, the supply of cyclamen is 

 gradually increasing, and potted 

 chrysanthemums are also quite popu- 

 lar. There will be a large supply of

cyclamen, from all indications, on the 

 plants now blooming are exceptionally 

 fine. Orchids are offered freely and 

 rather less attention is given to 

 gardenias. 



All of the past week 

 ST. LOUIS the market has been in 



an overcrowded condi- 

 tion and prices have dropped consider- 

 ably. The weather has been too good 

 for good business. Chrysanthemums 

 are at their height now and nearly all 

 varieties are coming into this market 

 in big lots. Roses and carnations have 

 hardly any fi.\ed value. Violets have 

 been ruined by the warm spell and 

 have little demand. Some extra fancy 

 Spencer peas are now coming in and 

 they sell well. Fine lily of the valley 

 and lilies are in good supply and de- 

 mand. 



The market con- 

 WASHINGTON tinues overstocked, 



with chrysanthe- 

 mums predominating. Good chrys- 

 anthemums are selling well. There is. 

 however, a surplus of cheap stock and 

 much of this must be thrown away. 

 The weather continues too warm for 

 violets and the sale on these is de- 



cidedly draggy. Sweet peas meet with 

 as plentiful as they have been, while 

 there are more lilies and lily of the 

 valley than during the previous week. 

 Some exceptionally fine roses are now 

 being offered. Dahlias have passed off 

 the market for this season. The re- 

 tailers say that business is up to. if 

 not in advance of standard, and pres- 

 ent indications are that a very busy 

 season is ahead.
