consequence of such a situation is a 

 long one and widespread, and not only 

 disastrous but degrading to the entire 

 floral industry. When the subject does 

 finally force itself for attention and 

 action it will call for the exercise of 

 the best ability and brains which 

 every department can jointly supply, 

 and, it will have to be worked out on 

 much broader lines than mere details 

 of marketing and salesmen's commis- 

 sions. 



Trading here the 

 PHILADELPHIA past week was 



not particularly 

 brisk. It might be called a fair week, 

 but lacking in tone. That "life and 

 snap" which traders so love to see 

 was conspicuous by its absence. 

 Chrysanthemums arc now the leaders, 

 of course, and there are some grand 

 flowers coming in. That glorious va- 

 riety, Bonnaffon. is easily the peer of 

 them all, and is a prime favorite with 

 growers, wholesalers, retailers and the 

 public. Other good ones just now are 

 Maud Dean, Dr. Enguehard and Apple- 

 ton. Roses are plentiful and quality 

 fully up to standard for the season. 

 The best seller at present is American 

 Beauty and it is showing splendid all- 

 around form. Killarneys are also ex- 

 cellent, especially the double pink. 

 Richmonds have improved greatly. 

 Mrs. Taft is coming in in quantity 

 and in conspicuously good form. The 

 orchid market is now in much better 

 shape and the demand is good for the 

 three principal sorts on offer: cat- 

 tleya, dendrobium and oncidium. There 

 is more activity also in the carnation 

 market and while prices have not ad- 

 vanced they hold firmer to quoted 

 rates. Violets are almost worthy of 

 being called a bright spot in the mar- 

 ket. They move off very well and at 

 satisfactory figures. Outside stock is 

 over, even the ironclad cosmos hav- 

 ing at last succumbed in this vicinity. 

 The greens market is still rather slug- 

 gish, although adiantum is selling bet- 

 ter. New crop wild smilax is selling 

 well at the reduced price this season. 

 Washington w a s 

 WASHINGTON last week visited 

 by a killing frost 

 which about caused the end of out door 

 stock. Dahlias and cosmos are not so 

 plentiful for which indoor growers are 

 duly thankful and their stock is com- 

 ing along in much better shape. There 

 has been somewhat of a scarcity of 

 roses and carnations but what has 

 come into the market moved well. The

demand for greens has slackened up 

 perceptibly, probably due to the fact 

 that there is plenty to be had. Lily of 

 the valley is moving along well. Smi- 

 lax is going slow. Chrysanthemums 

 are bringing low figures; they are of 

 exceptionally good quality however. 

 Cateleyas are not as plentiful as here- 

 tofore — in fact, the supply hardly meets 

 the demand so far as good stock is 

 concerned. New York violets are good 

 and are selling to advantage. As to 

 roses, locally-grown American Beau- 

 ties. Enchanter, Richmond and other 

 high-grade varieties never were better 

 and are holding price well. The call 

 for flowers and greens in large quanti- 

 ties has diminished and business is 

 quiet as compared with past weeks. 



Business has become 

 ST. LOUIS more steady during the 



last week. Buying has 

 been quite heavy all week — there has 

 been plenty of good stock to supply it. 

 Wholesale consignments have not 

 been very heavy. Chrysanthemums 

 have the call and are selling well. Of 

 roses the market has plenty but carna- 

 tions are not in plenty. Prices on gen- 

 eral stock remain as at last report. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



A very important suit was decided 

 in favor of M. Rice & Co. before the

 New York last week, M. Rice & Co.'s 

 contentions being sustained on every 

 point. A very unusual occurrence.
