to sell out. Carnations are all tbat 

 could be desired, and a full supply is 

 now in the market. Violets are com- 

 ing in more abundantly now, but the 

 largest demand is drifting to I lie more 

 showy flowers, as is general in chrys- 

 anthemum season. Orchids, as well as 

 violets and lily of the valley have been 

 in especial demand recently. The first 

 paper while narcissi were noticed last 

 week. 



Last week's market 

 CINCINNATI which started fair at 



the opening was slow 

 at the close and this week's started in 

 inverse order. It was caused princi- 

 pally by a slack demand for flowers 

 for work and heavy cuts of cull chrys- 

 anthemums. These naturally held the 

 price of the latter ones down where 

 one would expect that with the sudden 

 advent of the very cold weather they 

 would go sky-high. The shipping 

 business continues good. Locally roses 

 and carnations seem to be off crop. 

 The pink roses are selling well, while 

 White, owing to the continued large 

 supply, do not clean up as readily. 

 There is a sufficiency of choice Beau- 

 ties, and a scarcity in the medium and 

 short. Red roses are strong, but the 

 sizes run mostly from medium to 

 shoit. Other offerings include lilies, 

 lily of the valley, double and single 

 violets and orchids. 



A decidedly better 

 NEW YORK feeling prevails in 



the wholesale district 

 as compared with the past three weeks. 

 The cold weather has shortened up the 

 supply a little of course, but not a 

 great deal. It has also sharpened up 

 the buying appetite and thai counts 

 and gives the seller the necessary 

 courage to put prices back where they 

 belong. Roses, lilies and some of the 

 minor stocks have advanced but in 

 chrysanthemums there is little change. 

 Quality is good all down the list. 



There has been 

 PHILADELPHIA some slight im- 

 provement in 

 general business conditions in the 

 wholesale markets here. Sonic depart- 

 ments were worse; some better — but 

 on the average an improvement. 

 The chrysanthemums have probably 

 reached their high wat now, 



as to quantity — and when we say 

 quantity, we mean the vast influx of 

 medium-grade stock that usually 

 swamps the market at the height of 

 the season, — this volume will decrease

from now on, as the smaller growers 

 are cut out; higher grades will now 

 have a chance. The big wide-awake 

 growers realizing the all round su- 

 premacy of Bonnaffon planted heavily 

 of this, consequently there are. big cuts 

 to offer of magnificent blooms and also 

 plenty of fine flowers to meet more 

 moderate requirements. Appleton — 

 both light and dark, Dear Friend, the 

 two Eatons. Maud Dean, and .Mrs. Jo- 

 rome Jones, are also cutting a wide 

 swath in popular esteem. There are 

 also a very few of the Golden Chad- 

 wick anil White Chadwick. While 

 Bonnaffon is to be seen but this does 

 not seem to be in the same class with 

 the yellow Bonnaffon, although a 

 pretty good flower. The rose market 

 naturally lags a little among this 

 wealth of glory. There is no lack in 

 quantity or quality, in the regula 

 rieties, although American Beauty has 

 been rather on the short side and we 

 hear of some orders for these late in 

 the week that could not be supplied. 

 Violets also were in excellent demand. 

 Prices on these held firm and all 

 flowers that were any good cleaned 

 up excellently. More and better garde- 

 nias. Fewer orchids. Demand good 

 in both. Callas and mignonette are 

 new items. Carnations and other sta- 

 ples holding their own at normal fig- 

 ures. 



The market was in 

 ST. LOUIS pretty good condition 



all of last week. There 

 was plenty of cut stock of anything 

 seasonable and at prices within I 

 of all. Fancy tOCB ' up 



by all the up-town ilorisis al 

 prices. The call was C01 fancy 



chrysanthemums and the comn 

 man found no trouble in ili 

 them each morning. Carnations are 

 looking better and also elling well 

 Violets, lily of the valley and 

 are coming in good at present. Roses 

 are more plentiful than any other 

 flower just now. but they, too, seem 

 to sell better than usual al this par 

 ticular time. The retail trade has 



picked up greatly since the cold 

 w.ather and the trade is looking for 

 good steady business from now on.
