supply and is good property. Narcis- 

 sus and calla receipts are equal to all 

 present needs. 



There are still some 

 NEW YORK good chrysanthemums 



in this market but 

 they are rapidly disappearing, and 

 sales are .made readily, not only on 

 ■chrysanthemums but many other 

 things for the supply is not too large 

 on any line except it be stevia and 

 paper white narcissi and also on 

 some varieties of roses, notably 

 the dark red Hoosier Beauty which ap- 

 pears to be no match for the irresisti- 

 ble Hadley. Violets are greatly im- 

 proved but the regular stores appear 

 to be not able to disi)ose of them all 

 as the fakirs generally have a supply 

 for street distribution. Mignonette of 

 nice quality has made its appearance 

 and there are also daisies yellow and 

 white, snapdragons and a tew Roman 

 hyacinths now in sight. Lilies are 

 fairly plentiful. I.ily of the valley 

 scarce and much of it inferior. Catt- 

 leyas are easing up a little in price, 

 Percivaliana bringing low figures but 

 Trianae holding up well in value. 



The market con- 

 PHILADELPHIA tinues in good 

 h e a It h y condi- 

 tion. The demand has been good and 

 supplies not above normal — in f-act, in 

 :some lines rather under, as many 

 growers are hokling back their plants 

 for the holiday rush. There is an ex- 

 <!xellent clean up daily along the line. 

 Roses have sold well at good prices al- 

 though not so fancy as we hear of from 

 some of our growers who ship to New 

 York. Carnations also go better than 

 usual and have reached the highest 

 price of the season. Chrysanthemums 

 are nearly over — Nonin being the most 

 conspicuous at present. Sweet peas 

 are gradually improving, both as to 

 flower and stem, and are now of really 

 excellent quality. Cattleyas are a 

 little more plentiful, and cypripediums 

 are also available in quantity — the 

 latter unusually fine flowers as to 

 size, color and finish. That beautiful 

 spring flower, the pussy willow, is on 

 4leck already. It seems to be getting 

 the Easter lily habit — a sort of all the 

 year round proposition. Another early 

 bird is the cut poinsettia. These too 

 will move better a little later. 



Business here- 

 PITTSBURGH a bouts surpasses 

 any previous pre- 

 ■Christmas season. Advance orders 

 have been booked far ahead and stock 

 just at time of writing is a little 

 scarcer than for some time past. 

 Everything is of fine quality, all 

 homegrown goods being exceptionally 

 satisfactory. However, as far as ship- 

 ments are concerned, the signs are for 

 ia most trying season for both sellers 

 and purchasers. Delays in arrivals
