receipts are rather limited as yet. 

 Stevia receipts are so lieavy that it 

 is impossible to clean up on all each 

 day. 



This market has seen 

 NEW YORK many market fluct- 

 uations during the 

 past week, some of which are hard 

 to understand. Violets have taken an 

 abrupt upward turn and have about 

 doubled in price, the singles, ot which 

 a good many come from the vicinity 

 of Boston, enjoying the best sale. The 

 situation looks as though the violet 

 growers were beginning to hold back 

 on tlieir picl^ing in anticipation of a 

 holiday advance. If that is so they 

 have a fine chance to lose out as lias 

 been repeatedly demonstrated in past 

 years. Chrysanthemums still linger 

 and they are really good. All the 

 Chadwicks, Goldmine, Harvard and 

 the perennial Bonnaffon are the chief 

 varieties now in the large flowered 

 section but there are lots of pompons, 

 anemones and late singles, all of 

 wliich classes are being grown more 

 and more and of better quality tlian 

 ever before. There are some beauti- 

 ful sunny bronzes among the pompons 

 which sell at sight. The quality of 

 roses is excellent everywhere. Ophelia, 

 Sunburst, Hoosier Beauty and Aaron 

 Ward are seen in rich array and 

 Hoosier Beauty and Prima Donna are 

 bringing almost or quite the price of 

 American Beauty. The latter had ad- 

 vanced steadily for some days but on 

 Tuesday of this week seemed to strike 

 the doldroms and fall back to the old 



fall figure of $3.00 a dozen for the 



Ijest — and the "best" were well worthy 

 to be so considered. Very many of the 

 tiny rose buds of Mignon type are seen 

 tliis fall and they appear to find a 

 good market. Cattleyas are now be- 

 coming more plentiful but the major- 

 ity of tlie blooms one sees are under 

 sized and do not impress one as being 

 worth the prices asked. Lily of the val- 

 ley has maintained an advanced price 

 for some time and it looks as if tlie 

 standard winter value on this indis- 

 pensable flower would be higlier by 

 fifty per cent, than it has been in any 

 recent year. About carnations there 

 is littU: to be said. They are not much 

 in the pulUic eye just at present al- 

 though there are some fine flowers be- 

 ing sent in. Growers will be chary 

 about letting many of their red ones 

 .get out of their sight and very soon 

 we may expect to see these go aero- 

 planing. Pansies are having much 

 popular favor and are classed among 

 the things that every well conducted 

 store must have. The sweet peas are 

 now asserting themselves, some of the 

 stock being well up to exhibition 

 quality. Gardenias are again to be 

 had in limited number. Among the 

 newer — or rather, in old things re- 

 vived, are the bouvardias, of which 

 generous quantities in several colors, 



both double and singles are shown on 

 long stems and well filled trusses. 

 Reverting to the chrysanthemums 

 once more we should not fail to men- 

 tion Frank Dinda's anemone flowered 

 Emma which Is in our opinion the 

 best in its class on the market. 



We had a very 

 PHILADELPHIA steady market 



here for the past 

 week and stock generally has cleaned 

 up pretty well. Towards the end ot 

 last week carnations shortened up a 

 good deal and the tone of the market 

 for these has improved very consider- 

 ably. The orchid situation, on the 

 other hand, experienced a great 

 change as several new sources of 

 supply came in crop and prices are 

 now very much easier. American 

 Beauty roses were never finer. The 

 supply is good. The demand is good. 

 On the whole prices have firmed up a 

 little notwithstanding the excellent 

 crops which are larger than for years 

 at this period. (Martin Samtman, 

 Senator Heacock and other apostles 

 of the supply and demand theory 

 please take notice.) All other red 

 roses are selling well but at rather 

 lower figures. The double white Kll- 

 latney is now in her glory and getting 

 better every day; the most wonderful
