this country were not taken into the 

 confidence of these ladies earlier. 



"Great quantities of bulbs were sold 

 at low prices in the auction houses. 

 The difficulty about these bulbs for the 

 best buyers is that they frequently 

 come from a number of sources, so that 

 they cannot be depended upon for uni- 

 formity. There stSll are plenty of 

 bulbs unsold in this country of certain 

 varieties, but not more than enough to 

 fill the probable demand during the 

 closing weeks of the season." 



Various Notes. 



Herbert G. Tull, whose wide financial 

 experience renders his opinion of espe- 

 cial value, states that the i)re^ent sea- 

 son is one of general prosperity among 

 florists. 



Kecent visitors included Airs. A. P. 



«(\vnolds, of the (Circle Flower yhop, 



Jiidjanapolis, and Charles F. Feast, of 

 Baltimore. 



'^- J. Habermelil's 8ons had a large 



wedding decoration last week that was 

 elaborately done in white and pink 

 chrysanthemums. Edward N. Haber- 

 mehl says that the season has not yet 

 fairly commenced at the Bellevue-Strat- 

 ford. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held in Horticultural hall on 

 the evening of November 7. David 

 E. Colflesh predicts an active season for 

 the club. 



M. J. Callahan has had some heavy 

 orders for coming-out teas and for sad 

 occasions. Mr. Callahan comments on 

 the extremely low ebb of the market. 



H. Wilson Garrett has opened his new 

 store on the Old York road. 



Jack Frost killed the dahlias Novem- 

 ber 3. 



Gilbert Woltemate is sending good 

 calla lilies and Asparagus pluniosus 

 sprays to Berger Bros. Phil. 



Ithaca, N. Y. — The jiostmaster is re- 

 turning mail addressed to G. M. Cosli, 

 stamjiing it "Moved, left no address.'' 



NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



Last week was another scorcher as to 

 prices and enormous shii)nientH — even 

 worse than its predecessors. Good Sat- 

 urdays are always expected and usu- 

 ally they are to be dependccl upon, but 

 not so of late. The weekly clean-up is 

 disappointing. Last week there was a 

 sale of roses, accunnilations, 1(1,(100 for 

 $10! It is a shame to mention it, but, it 

 is true. 



November 4 the large buyers were 

 offering less than half of last year's 

 values. Mums worth nuire tlian $1 per 

 liozen were sacrificed at ')() cents, and 

 even went as low as $.'' j)er hundred. 

 Wholesalers considered tliemsehes for- 

 tunate to dis[)OHe of splendid flowers at 

 10 cents each, while .$1.50 to $2.o0 per 

 dozen was the extreme toji ff)r the big 

 flowers, which were beautiful enough
