a better demand for roses and other 

 more seasonable offerings. The rain 

 is damaging the outdoor chrysanthe- 

 mums also, which will no doubt 

 strengthen the market on other varie- 

 ties of seasonables still further. Vio- 

 lets, on the other hand, will benefit by 

 the rain. They are in good supply and 

 an active shipping demand cleans up 

 the daily arrivals closely. Carnations 

 have weakened a little owing to heavy 

 arrivals and only fair demand. From 

 all reports flowers will be in fine shape 

 for Christmas. Roses are improving 

 steadily with a splendid cut in view 

 for the holidays. The same is true of 

 poinsettias. Some fine specimens are 

 being offered now. but most of the 

 growers are holding their crop. Gar- 

 denias promise well. In potted stock, 

 cyclamen holds a strong position, and 

 begonias are getting more plentiful, 

 as well as azaleas and primulas. 



Prime Thanksgiving 

 ST. LOUIS stock of all kinds has 



been scarce and a rise 

 in prices has occurred all along the 

 line. Cold and clear weather assures 

 a good quality of stock and a good 

 supply for the holidays. There is a 

 scarcity of roses in all varieties and 

 prices have advanced. There are 

 more Killarneys than others. Beauties 

 are very scarce but the local grown 

 are just beginning to come in on 

 crop. Carnations are also somewhat 

 scarce. Sweet peas and violets are 

 not enough for the demand. Lily of 

 the valley, paper white narcissi and 

 lilies have a large demand but with no 

 advance in prices. Chrysanthemums 

 are over for this season.

fine shape 

 prices ad- 



is in 



with 



vancing normally. Roses show some- 

 thing of a shortage in the lower 

 grades. .Carnations and roses both 

 clean up well each day. While 

 chrysanthemums are still very plen- 

 tiful not nearly as many are going to 

 waste and sales are good. There is 

 almost a glut of double violets which 

 sell low. Single violets of local pro- 

 duction are e.xceptionally good and 

 are bringing a little better price. 

 Orchids are more plentiful but still 

 clean up quickly and there are not 

 enough to go around. Gardenias are 

 to be had in larger quantities. Sweet 

 peas are coming in better shape and 

 sell fairly well. Raster and Rubrum 

 lilies are very plentiful. Lily of the 

 valley is in good demand.
