The condition is cer- 

 NEW YORK tainly wo so tlian las: 

 week wtiicli, is saying 

 a wiiole lot, but complaints ot bal 

 trade are general and none of the re- 

 tail stores are doing that am Aint of 

 business which usiially keeps them on 

 the run at this time. The supply ot 

 all stocks continues far above the de- 

 mand. Good American Beauty rose? 

 are little asked foi-. while Killa'nevs 

 have sold well. Brides and Brides- 

 maids of fine substance and color are 

 difficult to move. We still have some 

 dahlias, also plenty ot cosmos. Lil um 

 longiflorum do not move at all. Car- 

 nations are fast improving and chrys- 

 anthemums continue to be very fine. 



Business picked 

 PHILADELPHIA up a little last 



week and on the 

 whole the situation was fairly satis- 

 factory. The weather remains warm, 

 causing a large amount of outdoor 

 stock which has a depressing effect on 

 the market. Besides this, the indoor 

 stock is also prolific — so that quite a 

 large amount of the medium and lower 

 grades ot almost evei-ything is hard to 

 sell at anything like value. But this is 

 not so with special and fancy grades of 

 the choicer flowers, such as American 

 Beauty and other roses, chrysanthe- 

 mums, carnations, etc. Orchids are in 

 fair supply and hold their own as to 

 quality and price but the latter has 

 not yet reached the figure which the 

 grower regards as satisfactorv. L'ly 

 of the valley is selling much better 

 and violets are also in good demand; 

 but the weather is against tliem — be- 

 ing much too warm for their keeping 

 quality. Dahlias are still plentiful but 

 the quality is beginning to go back a 

 little. The greenhouse men are sitting 

 up nights and sending praverfnl peti- 

 tions to .lack Frost. The dahlia men 

 are also sitting up nights and making 

 petitions— to Old Sol! Some of the 

 growers can talk ice in five language? 

 but on the other hand the .Jersey man 

 is a warm proposition. Really an in- 

 teresting psychological contest and 

 rather amusing to an onieok< r with m 

 leanings either way. The sreat old 

 standby among the chrysantl'Mnums 1,

expected in a few days. There is to 

 really good yellow at present. Some 

 very nice pompons are to be se?n 

 around. Stroud's yellow "Overbrook" 

 Is one of the best. 



The frost last wee ; 



WASHINGTON diminished the sup- 

 ply of dahlias and 

 cosmos but chrysanthemums are ve'y 

 plentiful and lessen the demand for all 

 other flowers. Orchids are plentifrl: 

 supply exceeds the demand. Volets 

 are far from being at their best as the 

 weather is very warm again. 



The local market here 



ST. LOUIS was very much over- 

 crowded all during the 

 last week, and prices took a big drop 

 in al! grades. One can get any amoimt 

 of good roses. Violets are becoming 

 more plentiful then ever but are not 

 of as good quality as they will be later 

 on. Carnations in all varieties and 

 chrysanthemums are becoming nure 

 and more every day. Outdoor stock 

 is holding up better then usual. This 

 consists ot cosmos, dahlias, tuberoses, 

 etc. Lilies are not any too many for 

 the demand.
