market situation. Shipments due on 

 Tuesday morning did not arrive, as a 

 rule, until W'ednesday morning and 

 much of the stock was in badly dam- 

 aged condition when received at the 

 wholesale markets. Things are gradu- 

 ally righting themselves and consider- 

 able satisfaction is felt that this out- 

 break of winter's worst temper came 

 at a time comparatively inactive and 

 hopes are entertained for a reaction 

 to moderate and kindly conditions for 

 the Christmas holiday trade now about 

 to open. The outlook is for a fair sup- 

 ply of all seasonable things and in 

 most excellent quality. 



Carnations were 

 PHILADELPHIA the feature last 



week. They took 

 quite a jump on account of the short- 

 ened supply caused by the dark, cool 

 weather. Loud and long were the pro- 

 tests from the buyers, while the har- 

 rassed salesmen on the other hand 

 smiled with satisfaction — glad that 

 the tables had at last turned. In the 

 rose market Mrs. Russell is the bright 

 particular star — magnificent stock, 

 much of it bringing forty and fifty dol- 

 lars a hundred. Hadley and other reds 

 are rather on the short side. Chrys- 

 anthemums are about over. What few 

 Nonlns there are coming in are quickly 

 picked up by the local buyers, so that 

 there are none for outside shipping. 

 Calenthe Veitchi is the latest addition 

 to the orchid show. Cattleyas. vandas 

 and cypripediums are plentiful and 

 good. Demand rather sluggish. Pros- 

 pects for Christmas week are very 

 good, some big orders having been 

 already booked and more coming in 

 every mail. The market is rising right 

 now (Wednesday. Dec. 15th). They
