ment in the outlook and the extensive 

 preparations by the retailers generally 

 in anticipation of a prosperous season. 



Large shipments of chrysanthemums 

 are ahead of the usual time. Some 

 grand flowers are already here, com- 

 manding $6 per dozen. Prices range 

 from this figure down to 5 cents each 

 for the smaller flowers. A fair average 

 would be a quotation of 50 cents to 

 $3 per dozen for the bulk of the arriv- 

 als. There are already over a dozen 

 varieties here and these will increase 

 to a score before another week passes. 



The American Beauty is again at the 

 front, touching 35 cents and with an 

 upward tendency. The demand is grow- 

 ing steadily. All roses are doing better. 

 Hadley and Prima Donjia are popular 

 and all good roses are selling at better 

 figures than since the month of June. 

 Mrs. Russell, Ophelia, Mock and Stan- 

 ley are the favorites, perhaps, at pres- 

 ent, but all are selling well. 



Violets felt the heat last week and 

 fell to 35 cents per hundred for the 

 best and as low as 10 cents per hundred. 

 Far better if never a violet saw New 

 York before November. 



Cattleyas are down again, some of the 

 wholesalers declaring 25 cents as top 

 for the best of them; 30 cents would 

 seem to be the high figure now, as there 

 is a great abundance arriving. Lilies 

 are firm at present levels, some extra 

 stock bringing $8 per hundred. Valley 

 is strong and not overabundant, the 

 best realizing $5 per hundred. There 

 still are some fine gladioli here and few 

 good asters. Dahlias also escaped the 

 early frost, but the days of this trio 

 are about numbered. 



Carnations are beginning to look 

 natural again, both in stem and flower, 

 and are arriving in daily increasing 

 volume. Prices are from $1 to $3 per 

 hundred, the latter for a limited quan- 

 tity of perfect flowers. 



Various Notes. 



HoUender the Florest, Flatbush ave- 

 nue, Brooklyn, has purchased a new 

 store near Church avenue, Flatbush. 



Dennis Calnan died last week in the 

 hospital from stomach trouble of long 

 standing. He has been in the florists' 

 business in New York for fifty years, I
