(C—tfinu4d from fact 573) 



The cut Bower Bup- 

 NEW YORK ply is rather top- 

 heavy this week and 

 .slocks are moving reluctantly. Chrys- 

 anthemums are rapidly taking the 

 place soon to be vacated by the dah- 

 lias a.s monopolizers of the counter 

 space in the wholesale markets and as 

 has been tin case every year, are car- 

 rying everything else down to ;i lower 

 li \<1 of value than reported last week. 

 Roses are abundant in all varieties and 

 also in all grades, particularly the in- 

 terior grades, and for the latter there 

 is not much • ncouragement in the im- 

 mediate outlook. Carnations, which 

 are beginning to assert themselves and 

 are really good in quality are natural- 

 ly mixed up ii- 1 In' ■■■ 11 1 1 1 1 ] 1 [ 1 

 which seems unavoidable. The buyer 

 makes the price just now. 



A general uplifting 

 PROVIDENCE has marked the lo- 

 cal market condi- 

 tions during the past week and the 

 Increase in the supply oi stock has 

 been encouraging. With the increase in 

 the supplj irresponding improve- 



ment has been noted in the quality and 

 th demand has strengthened consid- 

 erably. Chrysanthemums of a very 

 good quality were shown this week and 

 the choice flowers brought from $1" to 

 $11 per 100. Carnations have im- 

 proved both in quality and price since 

 the last week, the best grades bringing 

 from %1 to $3 per 100. Roses remain 

 in large quantities. There have been 

 many Richmonds on the market this 

 week selling from $8 to flO. Violets 

 are very plentiful at 50 cents per 100. 

 Lily of the valley and orchids are very 

 scarce, with little demand because of 

 the lofty prices. 



The market is in a 

 WASHINGTON somewhat better 

 condition, fall wed- 

 dings and various society events call- 

 ing for a goodly supply of choice ma- 

 terial, although everyone is hoping for 

 the speed] death of all out-door stock. 

 The market is flooded with dahlias in 

 all varieties and myriads of cosmos. 

 For these there is a much smaller de- 

 mand than output. Violets are com- 

 ing in better. Rhinebecks and those 

 grown locally are meeting with ready 

 sale. Lily of the valley and yellow 

 chrysanthemums are moving very well 

 as is also Adiantum hybridum, but 

 smilax is in little demand. Roses 

 move along as well as they have been 

 doing and are quite plentiful. Cattle- 

 yas are in better demand and there

are enough gardenias grown locally to 

 accommodate all calls. American 

 Beauty roses, grown within the Dis- 

 trict of Columbia, are in exceptionally 

 fine form. Richmonds are better and 

 meeting with a ready demand. Carna- 

 tions are much better than they have 

 been although, of course, there is con- 

 siderable room for their improvement. 

 The condition of the weather has been 

 so unsettled that the sale of flowers 

 for personal adornment does not quite 

 come up to expectations; in fact, the 

 on may be considered quite back- 

 ward. 



The wholesale markets 

 ST. LOUIS have had plenty of 



everything in season 

 and prices away down from those 

 usual at this season, prevail. Western 

 ne 11 have not been any too busy and 

 when trade is dull do not lay in quite 

 so large a stock only when they can 

 buy it cheap. Chrysanthemums are 

 increasing in number.

PROVIDENCE NOTES. 



The Providence Wholesale Flower 

 Market made a successful opening in 

 its new home on Washington street 

 Oct. 16, and the trade for the first day- 

 was considered very fair. John S. Kel- 

 ly, formerly with John F. Wood of this 

 city, has been appointed manager. As 

 heretofore the retailers have had their 

 supply brought to their door it will 

 take some time to educate them to visit 

 the wholesale market. Much encour- 

 agement has been given the promoters, 

 for on each succeeding day the volume 

 of trade has increased, and within 

 three days retailers from places a 

 as Fall River and Woonsocket have 

 visited the market and placed good 

 orders.
