While there Is 

 PHILADELPHIA no special jubi- 

 lation to be 

 heard about last week's market 

 neither is the melancholy note very 

 pronounced. It seems to have been 

 fairly satisfactory, all things consid- 

 ered. The main feature was the big 

 influx of chrysanthemums. much 

 heavier than usual for the date. The 

 growers cannot be blamed for this, 

 however, as they planned to have 

 many of their varieties much later but 

 the season was against them, and 

 many of the later varieties came In in 

 spite of their best efforts. The out- 

 look is therefore favorable for short 

 supply Thanksgiving week with a con- 

 sequent hardening in prices and the 

 wholesalers are booking orders with 

 caution. The rose market continues in 

 good healthy shape both as to prices 

 and quality. There has been no 

 marked advance in prices as yet, but 

 this is bound to come very soon. The 

 same may be said of carnations. Vio- 

 lets are much more of a factor and are 

 now of fine quality. The football sea- 

 son brings these to the front and 

 prices have hardened considerably. 

 Orchids are much scarcer. Good cat- 

 tleyas, dendrobiums, oncidiums, and 

 cypripediums are now bringing some- 

 thing near their proper value. The 

 latest new arrival is mignonette, some 

 very fine stock now to be seen. Paper 

 whites and stevia are also among the 

 minor items that are now with us after 

 the usual long absence. 



The market improved 

 ST. LOUIS somewhat last week, 

 but the supply was 

 greater than the demand, however, on 

 any one day. Roses have suffered 

 somewhat from the increased supply 

 in chrysanthemums, and the leading 

 retailers are buying heavily daily of

all varieties. All the late sorts have 

 appeared during the week and cleaned 

 up well. Roses have dragged a great 

 deal of late, Violets have had the call 

 during the week and cleaned up daily. 

 Carnations are plentiful enough, but 

 not of the good quality of stock. Lily 

 of the valley, lilies and all kinds of 

 greens sold well all of the week. 

 Thanksgiving prices take effect next 

 Monday. 



Business during 

 WASHINGTON the past week 

 was not as brisk 

 as could be desired although there has 

 been considerable funeral work and 

 there was a heavy run on single 

 chrysanthemums due to the George- 

 town-Virginia football game. There 

 is plenty of stock of all kinds to 

 be had, with the possible exception 

 of carnations. Both roses and violets 

 arc coming into the market in much 

 better shape and are moving fairly 

 well. Prices on all stocks are low and 

 the demand for everything has been 

 materially shortened by the influx of 

 chrysanthemums.
